2023 Rankings Newcomers: RB/WR

<p><em>Breaking down the new additions to Prep Redzone's 2023 Rankings at the RB and WR positions.</em></p>    <p>Turner rushed for over 1,300 yards and 29 TDs after transferring from Allen (TX) to St. Francis for his senior season. He's a plus-side athlete that navigates the field/open space with fluidity and balance. He hits lanes with initial burst and can set up second/third-level defenders for missed tackles. He can move through narrow space at the LOS and can make multiple cuts without losing speed/momentum. Turner's the top available RB in CA after both signing periods with offers from Colorado, Washington St., and UNLV. </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/prepzone/status/1596714129837940736?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Miller and Cal-signee [player_tooltip player_id='261783' first='Jaivian' last='Thomas'] led McClymonds' backfield as key pieces to the team's state playoff run. Miller's a powerful downhill back at 5'11”/210 that can run through contact and shed tackles in tight spaces. He's a difficult ball-carrier to wrap past the first-level with his powerful base and short-range lateral agility. He rushed for over 1,000 yards and 14 TDs on 73 carries and added multiple INTs at safety. Miller's picked up three D-II offers since December from Lincoln, Black Hills St., and Adams St. </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/Ferrari_Miller/status/1610863567804469248?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Peters was among the state's leaders in rushing volume and production with 270 carries for 2,200 yards and 31 TDs as a senior. He's a punishing ball-carrier that runs behind his pads and finishes aggressively through contact. He generates churning leg drive and holds upside in his ability to pick up yards after contact. Peters is worth a look for an NAIA or D-III looking to add RB depth at this late stage of the cycle. </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/RykerPeters1/status/1616963411535081472?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Carey was the leading receiver for one of the top QBs in the state this season, recording 72 catches for 1,500 yards and 22 TDs. He's an instinctive athlete on the perimeter that can win 1v1 matchups and make plays after the catch. He moves fluid in space and creates separation with crafty routes/releases in the shallow area. He was an active defender in the secondary that flashed closing speed and physicality as a tackler. Carey signed with Weber St. in February where he projects to play safety. </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/weberstatefb/status/1620831183532888068?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Boateng raised his stock significantly as a senior, picking up all 5 of his offers from NAU, Cal Poly, Army, Navy, and Air Force during the season. He presents a combination size, length, and athleticism that can create mismatches on the outside at 6'4”/195. He attacks and extends for jump balls and finishes with strong hands over smaller CBs. He's an effective red-zone threat and made plays on special teams as a KR. Boateng signed with NAU in December. </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/NAU_Football/status/1605599144856260608?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Shabazz flashed explosive playmaking ability with somewhat limited volume as a senior. He's a lanky athlete at 6'4”/170 with good control of his frame adjusting to the ball. He generates speed and burst off the LOS and works the seam effectively against OLBs as an inside receiver. He's a natural hands-catcher that shows toughness and concentration over the middle and in traffic. Shabazz picked up his first offers in December from Missouri St., Iowa Wesleyan, and Alabama A&M with PWO opportunities from Hawaii and UC Davis. </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/kenyon_shabazz/status/1618699043152228354?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>    <p>Guerrero was a key starter on both sides of the ball as a WR/CB. He's a skilled route-runner that can get a clean release against press coverage and varies speeds to keep DBs guessing. He's a smooth route-runner with deceptive straight-line speed and body control. On defense, he's an urgent tackler that's quick to close space and is physical at the POA. Guerrero picked up an offer from Ottawa University (KS) in December and took a visit in January. </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/vinceguerrer34/status/1615186555844395008?s=20&t=huy-DJ-0lvmCVc569Jznbg </div></figure>
