<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A first impression is one that can leave a lasting feeling on spectators on Friday Nights watching Texas High School Football. There are running backs across the State of Texas that are in the Class of 2026 that have made a statement with their play. We will spotlight several players who have the star power that is worth the price of admission.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974380"],"_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":"Ball is an elusive runner who has the speed to turn a short gain into a house call for six. Tradarian runs with power, his ability to make cuts without losing a step is a trait that sticks out in his game and Ball has the strength to breaks tackles making him a threat to score from any down and distance. In Tradarian's season opener against Frisco Lone Star, Ball was a smooth operator, showing off his explosive burst in the open field, carving up the defense for 162 total yards with two receiving touchdowns. Ball has racked up double offers from schools around the country and he is trending upward with his great start to the season.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/TradarianBall3/status/1695190711665078387?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/TradarianBall3/status/1673411950598934528?s=20[/embed]","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["974470"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Tramble runs with great pad level, he has great vision that enables him to shift gears quickly in the open field and he has the speed to turn a short gain into six. Nicholas is phone booth quick, his short area quickness allows him to make defenders miss in the open field and Tramble is a lethal weapon in the passing game out of the backfield. Tramble burst on the scene his freshman year and had a great start to the season against Jordan. Look for Tramble to be a heavy contributor in the Davis offensive game plan in 2023.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/__thereal15/status/1695550150804914230?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/__thereal15/status/1696716816763007438?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["951798"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Edwards has great forward lean when he runs, he has the power between the tackles that wears defenses down for four quarters and his ability to weave through traffic while breaking tackles makes him a handful for defenses all night long. KJ is an agile, twitchy athlete with ability to change direction quickly, he is shifty in space and he has the home run speed to score from any distance on football field. Edwards has the power in short yardage in the red zone that allows him to be a threat to score with the ball in his hands. In Carthage's season opener, KJ rushed for two TDs and was well over the hundred yard mark. Edwards will be a key cog in the Bulldogs offense in 2023.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/KJEdwards2026/status/1695565021604913408?s=20[/embed]","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f0176bcfa0b"} /-->
