Top Running Back Performances From Week 7

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you know by now, top running backs come from Georgia every single year. This year plenty of backs have stepped up and had giant performances week in and week out. Week 7 of the season saw some gigantic performances on the ground and Prep Redzone has all the details.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='321475' first='Ousmane' last='Kromah'] - Lee County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top overall running backs in the state, Kromah is a dynamic and powerful back in the 2025 class who is running through defenses left and right this year. He had one of his biggest games of the season over the weekend, rushing 22 times for 275 yards and five total touchdowns, leading Lee County to an impressive 50-21 victory over Houston County. He's a true touchdown machine with power, speed, and natural playmaking ability. He has 5-star potential in his class and looks like one of the top 2025 backs in America. After his monster game, Kromah earned an offer from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs. He now has 920 rushing yards on the season with 13 touchdowns, proving he's easily one of the top backs in Georgia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jordan Louie - Meadowcreek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic, explosive back from Gwinnett County, Louie has dominated as a senior this year after playing in Alabama last year, and he's quickly become one of the top running backs in Georgia this year. He's been consistent on the ground all season, and even though Meadowcreek came up short this weekend against North Gwinnett, Louie ran wild once again. The slippery, tackle-breaking back carried the ball only 11 times, but he went for 226 yards and two touchdowns. He was also dependable out of the backfield, catching six passes for 77 yards. He's a guy who can score every time he has the ball, and when the ball is in his hands, good things happen just about every time. He's tough to handle due to his speed, change of direction, and overall explosiveness. He's currently committed to West Virginia, but Louie could see more offers come his way sooner than later the way he's been running the ball the last several weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='334640' first='Caden' last='Williams'] - Calhoun</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Still one of the more underrated backs in the state, Williams had a monster game against North Georgia powerhouse Cartersville last weekend, leading his Calhoun squad to a big 50-48 overtime victory. Williams was outstanding on the ground, rushing 35 times for 160 yards and three touchdowns along with a key 2-point conversion. He was a tackle-breaking machine and put the Calhoun offense on his back at times. He runs hard, runs with balance, and showed toughness throughout the ballgame. When the Jackets needed a big play, Williams was always there to make it. He's a good athlete, but he's running the ball like one of the best backs across Georgia in the 2024 class. He had D1 talent and it may not be long before teams start extending offers. He was outstanding against Cartersville and will be tough for any defense to handle for the rest of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zo Smalls - Savannah Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week, another big game from the underrated back out of Savannah. Another sophomore, Smalls has been playing like a veteran this year and runs bigger than his size. He's been a consistent playmaker all season and had another big game on the ground during a win over Long County last weekend, rushing for 114 yards and two touchdowns. He also returned a kick back for a touchdown. He's quick, agile, and runs with power. He's not a very big back, but he's plenty strong and knows how to carry defenders a few extra yards before being tackled to the ground. He also showed consistent hands out of the backfield and brings a receiving element to his game. In the end, Smalls tallied 215 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in the big win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
