2025 RB’s Breakdown Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class of running backs in the state of Georgia caught my attention. I made it my duty to check them out. A lot of these guys are big backs with speed. I can't wait to see the ones I haven't witnessed firsthand, in person. Let's take a quick view at who this class has to offer at running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Charlie Mosley - RB - Briarwood Academy </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick, explosive back with nice cutback ability, Thompson is a hard-nosed runner who constantly keeps his legs churning and looks to fight for extra yardage. The Texas native owns a typical frame for a back, good height and body that carries athletic musculature. His vision pops. Thompson sees color in the hole and will cut off the leverage of the defender. He's able to anticipate and hit cutback lanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='415050' first='Quavion' last='Cooper'] - RB - Manchester HS / @QuavionCooper2</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper drops his pads and takes what's given—won't play with his food or dance. Possesses contact balance, which enables him to fall forward or bounce off the first tackler. Can make defensive linemen miss at the first level, showing an ability to get past the line of scrimmage when plays go array. Strong enough to break arm tackles. Displays fundamental ball-carrying technique, always protecting the ball and maintaining ball security at all costs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Triston White - RB - Valwood HS / @triston_white18</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White possesses very good vision, consistently reading first-level leverage and making good decisions in most concepts. He is able to make poor tackling attempts miss, not being brought down by arm tackles, maintaining a wide base and low pad level. Running bigger than his size, White will even drive the pile. He falls forward consistently thanks to good contact balance. He is able to perform jump cuts at low speeds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Quindarius Brown - RB - Swainsboro HS / @SwainsboroTiger</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On lateral runs, Brown makes flowing defenders miss by cutting back against their momentum. His balance is apparent when running along the sideline where he is able to keep an extra step or two in bounds. He's also a good route runner, he uses his foot speed and pays attention to detail to his craft, performing sharp breaks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1572515' first='Emadd' last='Howard'] - RB - Walnut Grove HS / @6ickest_villain</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A between the tackles runner who can move the chains, Howard is short, compact and powerful. He demonstrates a swift sidestep in the second level and has shown to be more than capable in the passing game for Walnut Grove HS. In addition, he flashes a strong stiff arm capable of jolting defenders. Howard owns a bell-cow mentality and embraces the workhorse role, he wants all the carries. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
