<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Standout RB Series from MD continued!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5'9 190 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='283989' first='Taariq' last='Denson'] - Rock Creek Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for an extremely elite young running back prospect with a bright future then look no further than [player_tooltip player_id='283989' first='Taariq' last='Denson'] of Rock Creek Christian Academy. Denson is already in the discussion for best '26 RB1 in the state, and his film makes it abundantly clear why that's the case. His role in the backfield will increase a lot this Fall, and that's why I am predicting a breakout season for him on the stat sheets in 2023. [player_tooltip player_id='283989' first='Taariq' last='Denson'] already has D1 power five conference offers from the best of the best such as: Oregon, Wisconsin, UMD, BC, and many more. Therefore, it's clear that the top RB scouts in the nation see the same next level of potential in him that I do. All eyes must be on [player_tooltip player_id='283989' first='Taariq' last='Denson'] and the Rock Creek Christian Academy Eagles this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18543615/6359fdc5a0235801543ca50d">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18543615/6359fdc5a0235801543ca50d</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5'7 180 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='402007' first='Jaylen' last='Burke'] - St. Frances</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='402007' first='Jaylen' last='Burke'] is the future of the St. Frances Academy backfield, and, last Fall, he showed that he's more than ready to take on an increased workload during the 2023 season. His spectacular performance against a formidable Dutch Fork team helped secure a big win for the Panthers, and it also kept their hopes alive for an undefeated season. In an incredibly deep SFA backfield, Burke still averaged nearly 25 yards per game in the games that he played. He currently has multiple official D1 offers from BC and UNCC, with a lot of interest from UMD as well. There's a reason that [player_tooltip player_id='402007' first='Jaylen' last='Burke'] is ranked in the top ten for RBs in his class, and I believe that he will eventually take on the full-time RB1 role for this team during his time at St. Frances Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2JvS4y">http://www.hudl.com/v/2JvS4y</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5'9 175 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='711679' first='Caydin' last='Evans'] - Annapolis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='711679' first='Caydin' last='Evans'] is a power runner with a lot of strength, and he's particularly effective in goal line situations. He racks-up a ton of yards after contact, and he's just an all-around nightmare to deal with for opposing defenses. Evans is a phenomenal pass catcher as well, and he utilizes that skill very effectively out of the HB screen. He's truly a relentless and tenacious runner with an extremely high ceiling, and, given his skill and talent, it's mind-blowing that he's a rising Sophomore. He runs like an upperclassman already, therefore it wouldn't surprise me at all if he earns All-Conference honors of some kind during the 2023 season. [player_tooltip player_id='711679' first='Caydin' last='Evans'] must be recruited very seriously because he's a top tier prospect with undeniable next level potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18260866/635eebbe4ba8260c80b1382b">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18260866/635eebbe4ba8260c80b1382b</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5'10 185 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='692278' first='Tymond' last='Foxx'] - Largo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With more than 400 rushing yards and 8 total touchdowns, it's safe to say that [player_tooltip player_id='692278' first='Tymond' last='Foxx'] put on an absolute clinic on how to run the football during the 2022 season. Foxx dominated at the line of scrimmage and in the open field, and it's clear that he possesses levels of maturity and vision that are well beyond his years of age. The Largo Lions team finished the year with a very strong 9-3 overall record, and there's simply no denying that [player_tooltip player_id='692278' first='Tymond' last='Foxx']'s efforts were of paramount importance to the team's success. I predict that he doubles his numbers in 2023 on the way to his most dominant season yet. [player_tooltip player_id='692278' first='Tymond' last='Foxx'] must be at the top of every scouts' Class of 2026 RBs watchlist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://t.co/AjYedFbNKL">https://t.co/AjYedFbNKL</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 5'11 165 RB - [player_tooltip player_id='614857' first='Levi' last='Michael Misner'] - Catoctin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='614857' first='Levi' last='Michael Misner'] is shifty and quick with the ability to break containment on the outside. He's more of an open field runner who can really hurt you if he finds free space, and you can see that his overall speed is improving with every game. With the right commitment to his development during the offseason, I could absolutely see Misner as the starter for Catoctin at some point down the line. His presence on the roster means a lot for the Cougars' future success, and my prediction is that they put forth a much stronger offensive effort in 2023. Misner certainly has collegiate level potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16254186/6366a2a85ca9800a948a0f70">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16254186/6366a2a85ca9800a948a0f70</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
