He has been looking like one of the top back in the state with his tenacity and being relentless in not wanting to go down. He will be a player to watch as he continues to build off of these impressive first two weeks of the season.
Markovich through 3 weeks has been able to be the go to whenever his team gets it into the redzone. He is a powerful runner that is hard to bring down, being able to throw players off and punch the ball in. He can be a workhorse being able to take on a lot of carries and be efficient when his number is called. He had one run where he stiffed armed a kid to the ground and walked into the endzone.

Highlights
Raul Gallegos
Raul Gallegos
Gallegos had a breakout game in week 2 that put him on the radar with being able to completely dominate the opponent. He was the workhorse of the night carrying the ball over 30 times and being able to punch it in 4 times as well. He was running physically and was able to lower his shoulder to pick up chunk yardage and was ripping off 5 yards per carry. He will be a player to put on the radar moving forward to see if he is able to continue this momentum.
Jayden Pagano
Jayden Pagano
Pagano turned some heads with his week one performance being able to be one of the more dominate players on the week. He was able to show some explosion when he got through the hole and used his speed to pickup some extra yards. He showed good vision in following his blockers and getting to the second level quickly trying to make defenders miss. He can be a good change of pace back as they have a dynamic backfield.
Luke DeBoer
Luke DeBoer
DeBoer is the running mate of Jayden Pagano and they are a one-two punch that has helped their team be able to come out the gates swinging. He has been a threat whenever they make it into the redzone as he can punch it in and has 7 touchdowns already on the season. He is a powerful runner and can follow his blocks, picking up 7 yards a carry. With his ability to lower his shoulder and drive defenders he will be a prospect to keep on the radar.
