Mischke got a lot of the load last year and I think he is set up to get around the same amount of touches but an even better production numbers this year. He was able to break the 1,000 yard mark and is a back that is able to break through the arm tackles to pick up extra yards. He has some speed on him as well and can out run defenders when he gets the chance. If he is able to build off of last year he will be someone to watch his senior year with the ability to have those explosive plays in the running game. He is a dependable player with good decision making and only turning the ball over 1 time this past season so he will look to continue limiting those turnovers.

Ramaqa should get some uptick in touches this year and will be a player that will benefit from it. The Rams relied on him last year and he was able to break the 1,000 yard mark and he should be able to duplicate that again this year. He is an explosive player that runs through arm tackles and is a physical runner. He has good vision being able to see when to cutback or when to bounce the ball to the outside. He will fight for extra yardage and when he gets close to the endzone he refuses to go down. He will be a player to watch this year as he was a big bright spot for the Rams and has the ability to be a threat on the ground and through the air.
Gaddis is a player that plays both sides of the ball and is a dominant playmaker whenever he is on the field. He is a player that is able to line up at multiple positions on offense and shows great hands when catching the ball. He is a physical runner and that’s what jumps out when you watch him as he is able to break multiple tackles and still get a lot of yards after contact. I think if he is able to continue to show this, he will be a top back in 4A and will be able to turn a lot of heads in the process. He shows good speed, vision and burst after breaking tackles. He bounces off defenders in the hole and is able to pull away from defenders when it turns into a foot race.
Highlights
Rogers is a player that does it all for the Raptors and is a swiss army knife in the way he is able to do multiple things for his team. He is able to make an impact on special teams as well as being a big out of the backfield threat that can line up outside if he has to. He is able to utilize his catching ability and his speed as well. He is a matchup problem for linebackers because of his speed and can run the route tree. He shows good vision when running the ball and follows his blocks well. He will bounce the ball at times and he uses his speed and explosiveness to get away from defenders leaving them in the dust. He shows the ability to break tackles and fight for the extra yards. He will be a player to watch and should turn some heads with his big play explosiveness that he brings to the game.
Highlights
Tapia is a big physical back that will have a lot of looks on the defensive side but I feel that he will have a breakout year as a running back this year. He is a big physical back that packs a punch and has a knack for breaking tackles. He shows good vision when navigating through the traffic and is physical in the hole. He has some speed at his size and shows that he can be a explosive play threat whenever he touches the ball. In the redzone he turns it up another notch and is going to punch it in if he gets the chance. He will be a player to watch and should be able to break the 1,000 yard mark if he is able to build on this season and continue to show that big play ability he has.
