Bo Walker Bo Walker 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB Cedar Grove | 2025 State GA – Cedar Grove
One of thee top 2025 backs in Georgia, Walker is having a terrific year for the Saints who are playing like one of the top teams in Georgia right now regardless of classification. He already holds plenty of D1 offers including an SEC offer from Mississippi State. It’s easy to see his talent on Friday nights as he runs hard for his size, shows great footwork, and rarely gets brought down by the first defender. He runs with power, but at 5-foot-8 190-pounds, there’s some shiftiness and explosiveness to his game as well. He’s been a reliable option for thee Saint’s offense all season long and made it look easy as just a sophomore. He’s a versatile back who can make plays out of the backfield as well, so look for him to see the ball often in his third-round game against Calvary Day.
ZO SMALLS – Savannah Christian

He runs with balance, he’s strong in the lower body, and knows how to bounce off would-be tackles from defenders who don’t tackle properly. Even as a sophomore, Smalls has proven to be one of the top running backs in Savannah this season and as dependable as it gets in the run game. During his sophomore season, Smalls has rushed 190 times for 1,389 yards and 19 touchdowns. He’s rushed for over 100 yards in nine games this season and in each of his last four games. He’s rushed for 313 yards so far this postseason and will look to run wild in game three this weekend against Sandy Creek.
Jamari Riley – Carver
One of the top senior running backs in West Georgia this season, Riley is having a breakout senior season and has been one of the most reliable backs in 3A this season. He’s an elusive back with plenty of straight-line speed, making him a threat to score on any particular play. He’s a natural runner, he comes to play every Friday night, and has been tough to stop for opposing defenses all year long. Through the first round of the playoffs, Riley has rushed 169 times for almost 1,300 yards and 17 touchdowns. He’s averaged an outstanding 7.7 yards per carry and will give everything he has this weekend against a strong Oconee County team. He’s definitely a back to know about this weekend.
