Alabama’s Midseason Rushing Leaders!

So far this season there have been tons of explosive RBs making plays across the state, here, we focus on the current top 5 rushing leaders!     Eli Frost- Fairview   Eli Frost has been absolutely ridiculous so far in his Junior season, and as the pulse of Fairview's dominant offense, this is just the beginning. Throughout their first 5 games, Frost has put up a staggering 1219 yards and 21 touchdowns off of just 112 carries- absolutely dominating the opening half of the season. Frost plays incredibly smart: he's patient, knows where he needs to be, and can follow blocks extremely well- all of which help him consistently rack up yards every play. In addition to that, Frost has the speed and power to just punish opposing defenses- keep track of him, with how he's been outrunning and plowing through defenders, he and Fairview have a serious chance to make a deep postseason run this fall.     Eian Bain- Valley Head   Fresh off of a 2k season last fall, Eian Bain is back for his senior year, and looks like he's having his best year yet. As their option quarterback, Bain executes his role within the Valley Head offense extremely well- so far this year, he's already totaled up 1011 yards and 11 touchdowns off of 104 carries. Bain has great field vision, can accelerate really well, and has the motor and toughness to continually make plays throughout the game. With the experience he has in their offense, Bain is just going to keep making plays this fall and it won't be a shock if he ends up in the top 5 rushing leaders at the end of the season.     Cameron Deaver- Meek   Last fall we got a sneak peek at what Cameron Deaver could do, but this season, Deaver has really come into his own out of the backfield. So far his junior season, Deaver has recorded 962 yards and 11 touchdowns off of 122 carries, placing him as the third leading rusher in the state. Deaver plays extremely hard, isn't afraid of contact, and uses his vision to find the right lanes to attack. Deaver has really been impressing his junior season, going 5-0 isn't an accident, and Meek's rushing attack has proven to be explosive with him coming out the backfield.     [player_tooltip player_id='228973' first='Alvin' last='Henderson']- Elba   [player_tooltip player_id='228973' first='Alvin' last='Henderson'] had a freshman season that established himself as one of the best prospects nationally in the 2025 class- and so far this year- he hasn't slowed up at all. Halfway through his sophomore season, Henderson has been ridiculously productive- recording 952 yards and 17 touchdowns off a staggeringly low 85 carries. Henderson is truly an elite prospect in the making, everything about his game is incredible and he's still just an underclassman, Elba is set up for a massive future with him in their backfield.     Drake Franklin- Arab   Drake Franklin has started off his senior season in a big way and Arab has benefited greatly with his production on the ground. After a 5-0 start, Franklin has already recorded 855 yards and 13 touchdowns off of 108 carries. With his elusiveness, vision, and motor, Franklin has consistently been a threat out of the backfield all season- and with Arab's current undefeated record- it'll be exciting to see how they move forward.
