Perkins is considered one of the State’s Top 5 Rushers and Prep Redzone’s #1 Athlete. Suntarine has been absolutely phenomenal this season as he rushed for over 2,000 yards, 32 TDs and a State Championship title to his name. Perkins was an explosive running back this season who will continue his career at Ole Miss for coach Lane Kiffin. Because of his performance this season Perkins is considered one of 3A’s Top 5 Running Backs.
Chandler was simply explosive this season. Chandler averaged over 150 yards a game and ran through tackles with ease. Chapman has displayed the ability to be a program’s main ball carrier and lead his team to victory. Due to Chapman’s contributions, his team went deep into the playoffs and challenged some of the state’s most prolific teams. Chandler has the opportunity to play at several local JUCOs next season and show what he can do. He was indeed an exciting player to watch and will have an excellent career over the next few years.
Penn is a young athlete who showed that he can play at a high level. Over the past two seasons Penn has been one of Humphreys County’s main running backs and he has done so very well. He put up back to back 1,000 + Yard seasons with a career high of 1,700 yards this season. He averaged over 175 yards a game and will certainly be on the same track next season. I recommend watching this prospect in his senior year to see how consistent he truly is.

Walker was the complimentary running back to Suntarine. Whenever Walker was on the field he was simply unstoppable. His center of balance made it so that he could maneuver through open running lanes without being brought to the ground. Javarious was another centerpiece in the Lions winning the State’s 3A Championships a few weeks ago. Wherever Walker decides to play football he will certainly make a name for himself.
