BREAKOUT “2024 NEW ENGLAND” CAN’T IGNORE RUNNING BACKS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this piece, we will explore top c/o 24 recruits who had break-out sophomore seasons, and are ready to use last season experiences to lead their team ground game. A few of these RBs have already caught the eyes of college recruiters. Those who haven't, we feel will likely draw attention after another strong fall 2022 season performance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62faa359b5bd1","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["380961"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Massachusetts HS coaches already know the name u0022[player_tooltip player_id='380961' first='Casious' last='Johnson'].u0022  Johnson burst onto the scene in Massachusetts High School Fall II season in 2020 as a freshman.

He checks many boxes in the RB evaluation index. He values intangibles, such as: competitiveness, toughness, leadership, resiliency, moxie, and grit. All things that are unmeasurable but you can feel them when you watch him play. Projected as a D1 athlete. In state Univ of Mass has already pulled the trigger.   SOLID RB!!!!
