Toby Maddux – Trion
A speedy, explosive back from Northwest Georgia, Maddux is a small-town back with great vision and burst. No need for a quarterback at times when Maddux is out there. He’ll take the ball, and if there’s any room to run, he’s going to take off and make defenses look silly. He’s a shifty back who might be on the smaller side, but has plenty of burst who can slide and maneuver his way through the line of scrimmage. He’s an excellent open-field runner who knows how to zig-zag his down down the field for big gains. As a junior last fall, Maddux rushed for 937 yards and an impressive 17 touchdowns, leading the Bulldogs to a fantastic 9-3 season. His 7.4 yards per carry is one of thee best in Single-A and his 17 touchdowns were tops in the area. He went over the 100-yard mark four different times during the season. He was also a weapon in the passing game as a receiver out of the backfield, catching 38 passes for 509 yards and one touchdown.
Caden Williams Caden Williams 5'11" | 200 lbs | ATH Calhoun | 2024 State GA – Calhoun
One of the most productive and best overall backs in Georgia, there isn’t much Williams can’t do with the ball in his hands. A tremendous athlete and one of the best pure players in North Georgia, Williams is a defense’s worst nightmare due to his speed, toughness, and natural playmaking ability. He’s a natural runner with great vision, has plenty of size at 5-foot-11 205-pounds, and has terrific footwork. A current Liberty commitment, Williams will bring D1-caliber talent once again to the Calhoun offense. As a junior last year, Williams took off for 1,165 yards while scoring 17 total touchdowns. He’s a dynamic player and bound for a gigantic senior season this year in 2024. If you’re looking for a fun back to watch in North Georgia, Williams is your guy.
Ethan Blome Ethan Blome 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Adairsville | 2024 State GA – Adairsville
One of the the most productive 2024 backs in North Georgia last year, Blome is as consistent as it gets running the ball. An explosive runner with difference-making speed, athleticism, and the natural ability to break tackles, Blome dominated as a junior last year, rushing for an eye-opening 1,487 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was one of the best overall athletes on the field at all times and was tough to stop all season long. The 5-foot-8 175-pounder may not be the biggest back around, but he runs hard and plays bigger than his size. Blome rushed for at least 100 yards in eight games this season while going over the 200-yard mark three times. He can take over games on the ground and proved it time and time again last season. His best performance of the season came in week three against Cass where he rushed for 280 yards and three touchdowns. One of the most productive backs in North Georgia last year, look for Blome to carry the load and light up the stat sheet as a senior in 2023.
