Best WI RBs on the Market

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Use code Johnson30 for 30% off a new subscription to PRZ WI!</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past week or so we have seen multiple top RBs make their college commitments. RB1, [player_tooltip player_id='245970' first='Corey' last='Smith'], has been committed to Penn State. RB2, [player_tooltip player_id='104986' first='Terrance' last='Shelton Jr'], recently committed to Buffalo. Now RB3, [player_tooltip player_id='634709' first='Braden' last='Anderson'], has committed to play for MNSU- Mankato. With the top of the rankings announcing their home I want to dive into the position and look at who is still available. It is a talented group that I foresee earning plenty of D2-D3 interest and offers along the way, and leading it off is a player who I expect to be in the running for Player of the Year and further establishing his presence on the radar of D1 programs...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["268947"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"You can rank the 6' 205 lbs athlete out of Columbus HS at RB, LB, or ATH. However you want to look at Colton should result in the same way. Brunell is well on his way to being a D1 prospect. He dominated the WI HS scene as a junior. 2,800+ yards, 43 TDs, 9.1 yards per carry. All culminating in one of the best games of the year where he helped win the State Championship.rnrnTurn on the tape and the traits are just as exciting as the production. Colton plays with the burst and vision to dominate at and behind the line of scrimmage. He sees and reacts to gaps and blocks so quickly and when he sticks his foot in the ground Colton explodes to full speed. That burst and his balance pair together to generate the power to be able to run through arm tackles with ease, and lower his shoulder and punish defenders. The quickness, power, and balance pair together to make him a nightmare for defenses. Add in enough long speed to break off big plays and you get an RB that should be high on the boards of many programs. He currently holds offers from Duluth, Winona state, North Dakota, Sioux Falls, Mankato, and Illinois State.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ac71692c037"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15031932/636c08992aa69505547e08b5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ac71692c089"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["267049"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Next up we have another ATH who should be considered at multiple positions by college coaches. That is Bay Port's [player_tooltip player_id='267049' first='Tevyn' last='Montgomery']. The 5'10u0022 225 lbs athlete has been a three year varsity starter at FB and LB. His FB play has been what has really stepped up and increased over the past couple years.rnrnWhile Tevyn is listed at FB, he lines up a lot as the single back in Bay Port's backfield and gets a lot of work as the ball carrier. Tevyn uses that compact, thick, powerful frame to set the tone between the tackles. He is a one cut runner who has the agility to be able to make that quick cut up field when he finds the hole. Montgomery has developed a low center of gravity to be able to bounce off tackle attempts, or run behind his pads. I believe the big man has enough long speed to be able to continue to have a role in the running game at the next level. Not to mention his impact at MLB. Give his tape a look.

When Gavin gets a shot at getting outside the contain man he is able to pull away in the open field. The big back plays at a faster speed, and he plays at a different level of physicality. Gavin has repeatedly shown that he can absorb the big hits and keep his footing, and when he runs his feet through contact can bulldoze right over the top of LBs/DBs. Lettenberger also has proven to be a well rounded option at RB with his soft hands. He is still looking for his first offer, but that can't be too far away.

He is able to win with burst or agility, and has the leg drive to be able to rip through the arm tackle attempts. That quickness also shines when Dalske is lined up at WR. He is able to run sudden breaks in his routes, and his hands make him a reliable target.

It doesn't matter if it is weaving/cutting through tight quarters or racing down the sideline in the open field. Jayvion does everything quicker than those around him. Speaking of those tight quarters, Hunter brings the elusiveness to leave LBs or DBs diving at air with his jump cuts and jukes. The electric athlete holds an offer from UW- Oshkosh.
