Amari Latimer Amari Latimer 6'0" | 195 lbs | RB Sandy Creek | 2026 State GA -Sandy Creek
The 6’0 200 Latimer leads all Sophomores in rushing with 885 yards and 11 TD and is averaging close to 10 yards per carry. Great North South runner with deceptive speed. The kid is put together well and already looks the part of a P5 recruit when he steps off the bus. Rarely comes off the field, playing linebacker on defense. One of the top overall players in the State in the 2026 class with offers from every P5 conference in the country.
Jonaz Walton Jonaz Walton 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Central | 2026 State GA -Central
The 5’9 203 Walton eclipsed the 1000 yard mark this past Week. Great first step and has outstanding speed and acceleration. Strong kid that is tough to tackle one on one. Had a 5 TD game earlier this season vs the defending State runner up Cedartown Bulldogs. Received a UGA offer last season as a freshman and has added several P5 offers since, most recently from Auburn. Great student and high character guy that is not afraid of the weight room.
Demetrius Dowdy Demetrius Dowdy 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Winder-Barrow | 2026 State GA -Winder Barrow
The 5’10 205 Dowdy is a bruiser. Doesn’t have the top end speed that the 2 above mentioned guys have but you will not stop this guy at the line of scrimmage. A workhorse this season for Winder Barrow, averaging 20 totes per game. Excellent North South runner that would rather run through you than around you. Solid base with strong legs that powers his way for positive yards. Definitely has the size to be a player at the next level. Interesting recruit to keep an eye on this Spring/Summer during Camp season.
Devon Caldwell Devon Caldwell 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB Hebron Christian | 2026 State GA -Hebron Christian
The 5’7 160 Caldwell has good vision and accelerates quickly through the hole. Great balance and foot work and can change direction on a dime. Solid build with a good base. Has rushed for over 100 yards in 5 of Hebron’s 6 games this year. Had back to back weeks where he eclipsed the 200 yard mark. Good next level prospect, especially for high academic programs, as he carries a 4.5 GPA. Multisport athlete that also plays baseball.
Tamari Curry Tamari Curry 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB Washington-Wilkes | 2026 State GA -Washington Wilkes
The 5’9 170 Curry maybe the 2026 Diamond in the rough. Great explosive first step and gets to the 2nd level as fast as anyone I’ve seen. Runs hard and has the balance and quickness to change direction with ease. He has been efficient the first half of the season with 9 TDs on only 52 touches while averaging over 11 yards per carry. Has had 3 multi touchdown games this season and had a game high 3 TDs in a 34-0 win over Warren County. Definitely a name to put on your watch list.
