2025 5’7 185 RB – Leon Clark – Maury
With his elite performance on and off the field last Fall, Leon Clark established himself as one of the most coveted ball carriers in VA’s 2025 Class. The Fall of 2022 was most definitely Clark’s breakout season, and he has the numbers to back it up. Clark rushed for 1,259 yards, 10 TDs, and a jaw-dropping 6.9 yards per carry. His agility, lateral quickness, and speed are all superb, making him an absolute nightmare for opposing defenses. Since last year, he earned 3 star recruitment status as a result of his dominance, he also received D1 offers from Temple, UMass, BC, and many others. Clark will also attend multiple prospect camps this Summer including the Rivals Camp Series in New Jersey. Power five conference scouts must take Leon Clark‘s recruitment seriously, because he possesses eye-opening potential at the next level.

2025 5’7 150 RB/ATH – Marcus Ferguson Marcus Ferguson 5'7" | 150 lbs | RB Unity Reed | 2025 State VA – Unity Reed
Marcus Ferguson Marcus Ferguson 5'7" | 150 lbs | RB Unity Reed | 2025 State VA is a stellar running back, but his all-around athleticism makes him a terror on both sides of the ball at this level. His well-roundedness is truly the most exciting part about his game, and there’s no doubting his exciting future to come at the D1 level. Ferguson found comfort in the defensive secondary last season as a DB. His close out speed combined with his tackling ability yielded phenomenal results on the field, and it’s really exciting to think about how he will perform in 2023.

2025 5’10 215 RB – Brandon Nesbit Jr Brandon Nesbit Jr 5'10" | 215 lbs | RB Deep Creek | 2025 State VA – Oscar Smith
Brandon Nesbit Jr Brandon Nesbit Jr 5'10" | 215 lbs | RB Deep Creek | 2025 State VA runs with a lot of toughness and physicality. His low center of gravity makes him even more difficult to take down, and that’s on top of the fact that he’s just a truly relentless running back. Nesbit refuses to go down on first contact, and that’s a huge reason why his yards after contact numbers were so exponentially high as well. It’s also the reason that his offense is able to run him in the wildcat formation. Brandon Nesbit Jr Brandon Nesbit Jr 5'10" | 215 lbs | RB Deep Creek | 2025 State VA was recently invited to the Rivals Camp Series in New Jersey, in light of the fact that he recently received his 6th D1 offer from ECU. He’s absolutely a top tier prospect in the Chesapeake area, therefore scouts must treat his recruitment as such.

2025 5’11 185 RB – Jackson Mccarter Jackson Mccarter 5'11" | 200 lbs | RB Patriot | 2025 VA – Patriot
Jackson Mccarter Jackson Mccarter 5'11" | 200 lbs | RB Patriot | 2025 VA is the best pass catching running back on this list. He’s still no slouch when carrying the ball, however, his route running prowess and catching ability are so elite that it really separates him from a lot of recruits. McCarter ran the ball 108 times for 816 yards and 12 TDs. While he only made 3 total receptions in the passing game, he managed to accumulate 100 yards receiving with those minimal touches. Jackson Mccarter Jackson Mccarter 5'11" | 200 lbs | RB Patriot | 2025 VA ‘s efficiency is absolutely off the charts, and I believe he is in a premier position to have a huge year in 2023. He was also invited to the Auburn Elite Camp this month. Local scouts must know the name Jackson Mccarter Jackson Mccarter 5'11" | 200 lbs | RB Patriot | 2025 VA by now.

2025 5’3 130 RB – Keon Batts – Warwick
Keon Batts performed sensationally well last season, and he demonstrated that his versatility takes Warwick’s offense to another level. He’s an extremely underestimated blocker for his size, and he’s able to impact plays in many different ways even without the ball. Batts is also a playmaker on defense, but my prediction is that he thrives most in the backfield at the running back position. His shiftiness, speed, and physicality cannot be ignored, and it’s clear that Keon Batts will have a lot to do with the success of Warwick’s program in the neat future. In my opinion, he will be an All-Conference level player in 2023.
