Rivers has solidified himself as one of the top backs across the Bay Area and has put together a very nice start to his Senior season and the undefeated Heritage squad. He is currently committed to Fresno State and is a big part in what will be a huge 2023 recruiting class for the Bulldogs. By the time it’s all said and done, he should be one of the top rushing leaders across Northern California.
Michael Cherry Michael Cherry 5'11" | 165 lbs | RB Rosemont | 2024 State CA , Rosemont HS ’24
Cherry has racked up 400+ yards through the first few weeks of the season, and is one of the top returning backs across the region as we progress through the 2022 season. He shows a nice initial burst, good vision through the first two levels with cutback abilities, and runs behind his pads with good leg drive and pad level through contact.
Silas Pologeorgis, Petaluma HS ’23
The Petaluma back is starting to establish himself as one of the top players in the Bay Area and has had a strong showing in each of the first three weeks of the season. A very balanced back that gets downhill quickly, he can cutback and shows good vision through the first level while being tough to tackle with strong contact balance and bounces off arm and ankle tackles and always falling forward. Able to also play on the defensive side of the ball at the next level, he is a no brainer college caliber player and should excel in the right system.
Elias Brown, Rocklin HS ’23
Brown has been playing against top competition so far this season and has racked up 546 yards rushing through the first four weeks of the season and another 5 touchdowns. He is a big and powerful runner that loves contact, and follows his blockers through the first level while running behind his pads. Able to thump between the tackles with enough lateral movement abilities and short area quickness to bounce it outside when needed, he is a balanced back that has impressed thus far.
