Jamezell Lassiter Jamezell Lassiter 5’8″ | 190 lbs | RB Deerfield Academy | 2024 State New E He is ranked as the #1 running back in Rhode Island and also the #6 ranked running back in the New England region. He is a 2024 reclass recruit who will attend Phillips Exeter in New Hampshire in fall 2023.
His film was a pleasure to view. His quickness and speed are well above average and special. A scat back style runner who can wiggle in and out of running lanes to find the end zone. Has such a low center of gravity that makes it difficult for defenders to locate himself when he attempts to run inside the tackles. He is also a threat in the passing game and can be used in the slot or be released from backfield. He is seen as a home run threat with play making abilities that can be used on multiple offensive schemes.
A solid recruit who earned offers as a 2023 recruit from Army, Brown, Long Island, Navy, and the University of Rhode Island before reclassifying. He will now have another year to gain additional interest from additional college coaches.
Highlights
Gabe Copeland Gabe Copeland 6’2″ | 210 lbs | RB Proctor Academy | 2024 State New E He is ranked as the #1 running back in New Hampshire and also the #9 ranked running back in the New England region. He attends Proctor Academy in New Hampshire.
On defense, he has a good burst when shooting gaps. Strikes through the ball carrier when tackling. Has a desire to be physical and aggressive consistently. On offense, He shows good strength in his running ability. Runs downhill and is a thumping style runner who can get the tough yards when needed. Has good patience allowing his blockers to get in front and reading running lanes. Protects the ball well, and falls forward for the extra yards when being tackled.
He has interests from Southern Connecticut State, University of Montana and Holy Cross. Will see additional college interest during the upcoming Spring/April evaluation period and through the 20-24 summer college camp season.
Highlights
Jayden Bright Jayden Bright 5’9″ | 195 lbs | RB Phillips Exeter | 2025 New E He is ranked as the #2 running back in New Hampshire and also the #15 ranked running back in the New England region. He attends Proctor Academy in New Hampshire.
A flexible running back with very good balance and body control who can escape tackles. This kid isn’t the most physically imposing back you can find, yet any defensive back better come prepared if they have their sights on Bright in the open field. He can run through you, or around you. He can be a factor in the passing game too. He is a bit on the shorter side of most RB’s but his athleticism and skill set, is surely one that can be described as being very productive.
Holds a offer from Univ of Rochester and has gained some Div 1 interest with Bryant College who has invited him to a Jr day. Also getting interest from St Anselm with another recent Jr. day Invite. I project he will see a slew of additional college coaches coming in to check in on him during the April/Spring evaluation period.
Highlights
Elia Bahuma Elia Bahuma 5’8″ | 180 lbs | RB Concord | 2024 State New E He is ranked as the #3 running back in New Hampshire and also the #16 ranked running back in the New England region. He attends Concord High School in New Hampshire.
He has very good jump cutting ability. He can break away left or right by planting and exploding away from defenders to make them miss. His season stats along with running style, shows he has longevity and durability in his skill set. He has an noticeable burst through first level after snap of the ball. Shows very good vision when running inside iso. Has the strength and natural desire to break tackles and fight for extra yardage. Has good hands when releasing from the backfield.
Has interest from Castletown College, St Anselm College, Nichols College and Wooster College. He should see additional interest during the 2023 April/ Spring evaluation period.
Highlights
Myles Craddock Myles Craddock 5’10” | 200 lbs | RB Moses Brown RI | 2024 State New E He is ranked as the #2 running back in Rhode Island and also the #6 ranked running back in the New England region. He attends Mount Pleasant in Rhode Island.
A shifty back that can make 1st level defenders miss with his quick jump cut and still be able to make something out of nothing. His hands are secure and his YAC is impressive. He protects the ball as a high priority and approaches the line of scrimmage with square shoulders when running inside the tackles. Has very good speed and runs with a fluid athletic movement. Can be a home run threat out on the perimeter if he gets the corner.
He was recently invited to Ivy League Brown University Jr. day and he attended on February 26, 2023. He is projected to see additional college coaches visiting him for an eye test during the 2023 Spring/April evaluation period.
