He is a consistent running back who displays excellent balance and explosiveness. Peterson rushed for over 2,600 yards which is about 500 yards more than anyone in 5A and 400 more than anyone in the state. John averaged over 7 yards per carry, reached the endzone 34 times and led his team deep into the playoffs. John has great potential and would be an excellent addition to many competitive collegiate programs such as Tulane.

As a sophomore Gaddis rushed for over 1,700 yards making him 3rd top rusher in 5A and one of the top rushers in his graduation class. He averages over 140 yards per game and proves that he can move the chains with the ball in his hands. This young stud has proven that he can be a top tier athlete and will seek to do so over the next two seasons. It would be beneficial to see just what Gaddis is capable of as he continues to progress as an athlete.

He rushed for over 1,100 yards with an average of 102 yards a game and 6.3 yards per carry. He has the ability to run north and south in between the tackles but also break it big in the open field.
