Alvin Henderson Alvin Henderson 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Elba | 2025 State AL |5’11 190| |Elba| @AlHenderson_1 on Twitter
Alvin Henderson Alvin Henderson 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Elba | 2025 State AL might be one of the best prospects out of AL we have seen emerge in recent years, and we are not the only ones that think that. After just his freshman year Henderson already has 50 offers, yes you read that correctly, 50 after one year. If you watch his tape, it does all of the talking, and it is incredibly evident that we have a star in Elba. Henderson is explosive out of the backfield, has incredible speed, elusiveness, hands, and vision that are only going to improve more and more over the next three years. As he prepares for his sophomore season, be sure to keep track of how he performs, cause a player of his talent does not come by often.
Santae McWilliams Jr Santae McWilliams Jr 5'9" | 175 lbs | RB Saraland | 2025 State AL |5’10 170| |Saraland| @santae_jr on Twitter
Santae McWilliams Jr Santae McWilliams Jr 5'9" | 175 lbs | RB Saraland | 2025 State AL was a huge factor in Saraland’s offense as a freshman. McWilliams is a powerful back, he can break tackles with ease, and with his speed and acceleration paired with that, he is incredibly difficult to stop, and last season’s film and stats prove it. Statistically, McWilliams put up some great numbers for Saraland last fall, posting up 192 carries for 1167 yards and 11 touchdowns. McWilliams has already been turning heads at the collegiate level, as he has offers listed from Arkansas, Florida State, Michigan, and Troy, and with his talent, it shouldn’t be a surprise to see him add more to that list this year.
Tristan Childers Tristan Childers 5'11" | 215 lbs | RB Boaz | 2025 State AL |5’11 180| |Boaz| @ohThatsTristan on Twitter
Tristan Childers Tristan Childers 5'11" | 215 lbs | RB Boaz | 2025 State AL is a prospect we’ve had our eyes on for a while, and he looks like he could be in for a big season this fall at Boaz. A dual-sport athlete in both football and track, Childers has a lot of athleticism and talents that he brings to the backfield. Namely, Childers has exceptional vision- he consistently hits the right gaps, and maneuvers through the second level with ease to create big gains on the ground. With his acceleration in the open field, he makes it incredibly difficult for defenders to pursue and take him down, and with what he presented on tape last fall, there’s a lot to be excited about for the second year back at Boaz.
Calvin Hughley Calvin Hughley 5'8" | 190 lbs | RB Opelika | 2025 State AL |5’8 190| |Opelika| @CalvinHughleyJr on Twitter
Calvin Hughley Calvin Hughley 5'8" | 190 lbs | RB Opelika | 2025 State AL looks like he could be another great RB product out of Opelika. Hughley is a tough downfield runner, he can break tackles with ease and has the vision to always get the best run possible out of a play. Hughley also has a great set of hands that allow him to make some clutch catches, and set up blocks to protect his quarterback. Hughley has a well rounded skill set that benefits him greatly in being a complete back, and heading into year two Hughley is a prospect that is going to be making plays all over the 7A.
