South Paulding standout running back standing at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds is a bruiser. He gets low and runs with force. He has great balance in traffic and his low center of gravity helps him bounce off tacklers and keep his legs churning. He has excellent vision and looks for the cutback lanes in the open field which makes him a creative runner. Wilcox has a natural balance which allows him to withstand contact. His mentality of not shying away from contact helped him put up some impressive numbers this season, rushing for 1,805 yards and 24 TD’s.
Ousmane Kromah Ousmane Kromah 5’11” | 180 lbs | RB Lee County | 2025 State GA is an impressive running back out of Lee County that has all the tools to be successful. Kromah is a compact player that has a rare blend of balance, instinct, and agility. He shows great burst and decent long straight-line speed that turns into huge plays. He’s a strong interior runner that has the burst to get through the line of scrimmage and into the second level. His ability to not waste no time moving lateral, breaking tackles and making defender miss helped him have a great season, rushing for 1,504 and 20 TD’s.
Nykahi Davenport
Nykahi Davenport
Standing at 5-foot-11 and 180 ponds, Nykahi Davenport is a stud! The explosive running back rushed for 1,341 yards and 15 TD’s as a junior, Davenport proved to be one of the top 2024 prospect in GA. Showcasing physicality, it is difficult to bring him down one-on-one in space. He makes defenders look silly by side stepping and juking would-be tacklers. He shows great speed and burst to beat linebackers to the edge. He is at his best working in space by showing quickness and vision in the open field.
Trevon Kinchen
Trevon Kinchen
Lovejoy High School has a good running back that goes by the name of Trevon Kinchen. Kinchen burst on scene his senior by rushing for 1,354 yards and 9 TD’s. Kinchen runs with absolute violence which allows him to thrash through tacklers. With his thick frame and powerful lower body, it allows him to keep his legs pumping through contact. This kid hits the hole hard and runs with power with a physical attitude.
Jaydon Ponder is a speedy running back out of Allatoona High School. Ponder is an electrifying player that accelerates 0-to-80 and hits his top speed fast enough to outrun angles. This season he rushed for 1,282 yards and 8 TD’s. His ability to make cut’s on a dime with smooth and fluid feet allow him to separate from defenders. Ponder is surprisingly tough enough to not bounce outside but rather attack the hole inside to use his lateral agility to pick his way through traffic. This kid is special and I can’t wait to see him perform in the playoffs.
