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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>HUDL: </strong><a href="https://x.com/rashadorr4/status/1719047863114572106?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ"><strong>https://x.com/rashadorr4/status/1719047863114572106?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Dj Duvalt | RB | 2024 | Mulberry | @ohthatsdj4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>144 rushes - 1624 rushing yards - 20 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Analysis: </strong>This kid will be a production piece for whoever gets his talent on the recruiting trail.
