2024 RBs on the Verge of First Offer

<p>The Class of 2024 Running Back Class is loaded. Up and down, this is the position I have the most notes on and one of the deepest positions in Michigan. Today I'll be going over five unoffered running backs who I believe are on the verge of their first offer! </p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='254032' first='AJ' last='Martel'] | Mason | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11651111/AJ-Martel/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>How AJ hasn't gotten an offer yet is beyond me. I've talked up AJ quite a bit- he's going to be a 4-year Varsity Starter already with over 3,000 career yards and 7YPC. I truly think AJ could be a Division 2 back. He's a patient runner who follows his blocks, and turns it on one he hits the open field. He has good athleticism that allows him to make subtle open-field cuts and has the speed to hit the home run.</p>   <p>In addition, AJ has phenomenal grades, is a 4-sport athlete, and just won the 300M hurdes at the D2 T&F State Championship. AJ has the conditioning, speed, power, and grades to earn a college scholarship and do great things once he's at the next level. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='250802' first='Amarion' last='Jenkins'] | Flushing | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15189418/Amarion-Jenkins/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Amarion has some very entertaining film. Rushing for 1085yds and 16TDs last season, Amarion is a talented elusive back that I have a D3 grade on. There are great flashes of athleticism and vision. There are quite a few highlights where Jenkins combines great vision, patience, and open-field athleticism, allowing him to hit the home run. Now, I haven't seen him advertise any offseason camps, so I have not heard much from Amarion since last Fall. Hope to see him have a great senior season! </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='851874' first='Eli' last='DeYoung'] | Gobles | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16898002/Eli-DeYoung/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Eli has been a good back on my radar for some time. There are many people who have raved about his work ethic and passion for the game! In terms of his film, he's a good running back with a lot of great athletic foundation. He's a high-volume ballcarrier who keeps his feet moving through contact. His a fine athlete with some ability to evade defenders in the open field. This coming season, I'd love to see better explosiveness and top-end speed from Eli. He's a D3 ceiling for me, though I see a lot of skills that could translate wonderfully to Rugby, and there may be an opportunity for a Rugby scholarship or to start immediately on a DII club team like GV, Ferris, or Central Michigan. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='554672' first='Parker' last='Holman'] | Zeeland West | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16946339/Parker-Holman/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Parker has had a few extremely bright moments this summer. At the Sporthouse Showcase in Muskegon, he was far and wide the camp MVP as he showcased great route-running, athleticism, and he exuded confidence. I left that camp extremely impressed with his performance and thought he showcased a ton of skills not present on his film. At other camps, Parker has been more of a mixed bag, though I know that the Sporthouse performance is in him. Regardless, Parker is an offensive weapon that can make things happen in the open field, run great routes, in addition to being very fast. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='253243' first='Dharius' last='Walker'] | Caledonia | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16563816/Dharius-Walker/about">Hudl</a></h2>   <p>Dharius may be the best hidden talent in all of Michigan. Backing up an RB with multiple D1 offers, Dharius isn't far behind him. I see a lot of the same running style, athleticism, speed, and instincts as I do with Brock. Dharius's film shows hard running with great extra yards through contact. His hudl "about" page also shows great lifting numbers and drill results if true. Just watch his film- Dharius could be a true hidden gem! </p>
