Week 11 Top Performers: Running Backs

<p>Another week, another fantastic weekend for running backs across the peach state. The state is loaded with talented backs and we saw plenty of terrific performances over the weekend.</p>   <p>Which backs had monster games in week 10? Prep Redzone has the latest…</p>   <p><strong>Nori Moore - Hart County</strong></p>   <p>There's a new back to know about in North East Georgia, and he had a dominant performance running the ball last Friday night. The Hart County back, led by excellent blocking, ran wild through Hebron Christian over the weekend for six touchdowns. He got to the edge, showed impressive burst, and glided his way down the field over and over all night long. He made the most of his opportunities and was excellent around the goal-line. It was a big day for big boys up front as well as Moore had plenty of space to run through all night. Moore helped lead the way to a big 48-27 win, and had one of the games of his life as well. The 5-foot-8 170-pounder is one of the top backs in North East Georgia and showed why on Friday night.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MooreNori/status/1586382562955608067?s=20&t=g9MC08_22uxCzr5efxGlfg </div></figure>   <p><strong>Jekail Middlebrook</strong> - <strong>Langston Hughes</strong></p>   <p>In one of the biggest games of the weekend, Langston Hughes took on a talented South Paulding team, and Middlebrook took over for one of the biggest games of his career. Not only did Langston Hughes, arguable the best team in the state, secure a dominant 68-14 win, they made it look easy at times. The speedy back spun and zig-zagged his way to a monster game, rushing 19 times for 258 yards and four touchdowns in the win. He had big holes to run through, and when he got through the line of scrimmage, he was tough to stop in the open field. He's a dangerous runner who can out-run defenders and he did plenty of that on Friday night. His quick feet, explosiveness, and smaller frame allowed him to maneuver his way up and down the field for one of the biggest rushing performances across the state last weekend.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JMiddlebrook9/status/1586814787668918272?s=20&t=g9MC08_22uxCzr5efxGlfg </div></figure>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221089' first='Peyton' last='Streko'] - Forsyth Central</strong></p>   <p>We've written about him a lot this year, but the senior from Cumming continues to impress each week. Against a big rival in Forsyth Central, Streko ran wild once again, but he only needed one quarter to dominate and lead the Wolverines to a big region victory. In one quarter, the impressive senior rushed just five times for 157 yards and three touchdowns. He has touchdowns runs of 81 yards, 56 yards, and 1 yard. He has speed, explosiveness, toughness, balance, and the ability to break tackles. He's more than a pure speed back and he knows how to pick up big yards down the field. If you don't get him to the ground early, he's going to pick up big yards. He's looking to score every time he has the ball and was very successful against Forsyth Central. He's an easy D1-caliber back and has dominated this year as a senior.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/StrekoPeyton/status/1586795348789428227?s=20&t=g9MC08_22uxCzr5efxGlfg </div></figure>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='275983' first='Jaiden' last='Daniels'] - Commerce</strong></p>   <p></p>   <p>One of the top 2025 backs in the state, Daniels has been terrific all season long and came up big once again in week 11, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns in a close loss to Rabun County. A slippery back with burst and explosion, Daniels has run through defenses on a consistent basis all year long and has been one of the state's leading sophomore backs this year. He's a big play waiting to happen, and even in a close loss, he showed why he's one of the best backs not only in the area, but across the state in the 2025 class. He has great footwork, changes directions well, and has a knack for staying on his feet after first contact. He ran against a tough defense from Rabun County but still managed to rack up plenty of yards on the ground. Overall, Daniels has rushed for over 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns on the season.</p>   <p></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/6Babygoat/status/1586186845377138688?s=20&t=g9MC08_22uxCzr5efxGlfg </div></figure>
