Rashad Orr | RB | 2024 | Lake Wales | @RashadOrr4
2023 stats: 97 rushes | 920 yards | 8 TD | 9.5 yards per carry
One of the top running back prospects in Polk put on another show to help Lake Wales start 8-0 on the season. Delayed but not denied. That’s the motto 2024 running back Rashad Orr has used as motivation to rack up nearly another 1,000-yard rushing season through week eight. He’s developed into one of the top prospects in the Polk County area but the senior still moves with a chip on his shoulder.
Keveun Mason | RB | Class of 2025 | Fort Meade | @keveunmason07
2023 stats: 108 rushes | 1067 yards | 14 TD | 9.9 yards per carry
Mason has been stamped as a true riser and has moved in my top 5 running back prospects in Polk since transferring to Fort Meade. He will pick up some D1 offers during the offseason as he has totaled over 1,000 yards rushing while showing his versatile skill sets throughout the season.
Jeffrey Duvalt | RB | Class of 2024 | Mulberry | @ohthatsdj4
2023 stats: 111 rushes, 1356 yards, 18 TD
This kid will be a production piece for whoever gets his talent on the recruiting trail. He has nearly 20 rushing touchdowns this season and could finish with 1,500 rushing yards. Just check the film, good speed, vision, and balance to get it done in the rushing game at the next level.
Josh Bellamy | RB | Class of 2025 | Lakeland Christian | @JoshBellamyJr1
2023 stats: 120 rushes | 986 yards | 11 TD | 8.2 yards per carry
Bellamy has been a playmaker and productive piece for the Vikings so far this season. He’s still slept on in the Polk area despite a nearly 1,000-yard rushing season with double-digit touchdowns.

Soloman has consistently produced for Frostproof as this will be an important senior season for his college recruitment. He’s already poised for another big-time season on the stat sheets.
Markel Johnson | RB | Class of 2024 | Lakeland | @Markel_johnson6
2023 stats: 72 rushes, 368 yards, 3 TD
Johnson is a bowling ball of a running back prospect who hardly goes down on the first carry. He’s battled through an injury-bugged Dreadnaught season and has shown to be a reliable back who gets positive yardage more than often. He was listed as the offensive player of the game for Lakeland vs. Largo. One of the premier running backs on the Lakeland roster.
Hudl: Markel Johnson – Hudl
