<div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> With the 2022 season on the horizon, I’m doing a returning prospect analysis for Running Backs from every Classification/District/Region in Florida. There are a lot of young talented prospects and several sleeper prospects that could start getting looks for the next level. Prep Redzone Florida will always promote everybody in hopes of them getting the opportunity of playing college football at the next level. No other prep site brings you more prospects to check out than Prep Redzone Florida!           Jer’Quon Clayton- Taylor County High c/o 23 5’7 180lbs Clayton is the leading returning rusher for what should be a potent Bulldogs rushing attack in 2022. Through five games last season he rushed for 382 yards, averaged 6.5 yards per carry with seven rushing touchdowns in one 100 yd rushing game. He also had 4 receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown through the air. Plays with good balance and flashes the ability to bounce off tackles, sticks his foot in the ground and shows acceleration through the hole. I look for Clayton to have a big season in 2022. </div> </div> <div id="contentsContainer" class="style-scope qowt-page"> <div id="contents" class="style-scope qowt-page"> Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16551073/JerQuon-Clayton">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16551073/JerQuon-Clayton</a>   Caden Collier- Taylor County High c/o 25 5’9 150lbs Collier is a rising sophomore out of Perry, Florida. He was second on the team in rushing last season. Through five games he rushed for 276 yards, an average of 8.6 yards per carry, with two rushing touchdowns and one 100-yard rushing game. He also registered 3 catches for 23 yards. Flashes good open-field speed to get to the edge, despite being a smaller back will drop his shoulder and fight through tackles, has a fluid running style and changes directions without losing speed. Picked up his first offer in March from Alabama State. Young prospect to keep an eye on the next few seasons.

Last season in a backup role for the War Eagles he was second on the team with 371 yards, averaged an outstanding 7 yards per carry with 6 rushing touchdowns and one 100-yard rushing game. He’s a three-down back that was very effective in the passing game registering 10 catches for 134 yards. He shows outstanding vision, good wiggle in tight quarters, possesses high level burst and acceleration to get to the second level. I look for him to have a huge season this year for Wakulla. He’s also an outstanding student with a 3.6 GPA Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15387991/Xavier-Blake">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15387991/Xavier-Blake</a> </div> </div>
