<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which 2025 running backs in Georgia earned a new ranking in the latest update?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got all the details below...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1080840' first='Foster' last='Orris'] - West Forsyth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The next big-time West Forsyth running back, Orris is a shifty junior coming off an excellent 2023 season for the Wolverines, rushing for 1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. He's a physical, compact back at 5-foot-10 175-pounds with impressive burst and acceleration. He has quick feet and the ability to take off down the field when he gets to the second level. He absolutely earned to be ranked in the latest update, and he's now ranked as the No. 162 overall prospect in the state. Leading West Forsyth to an 8-2 regular season record, the playmaking back ran for at least 100 yards in seven games this past fall including the last three games. He's a natural runner and a good overall athlete, catching 18 passes for 153 yards and one touchdown. He's quickly becoming one of the top sleeper running backs in Georgia and showed as a junior that he's certainly capable of playing somewhere at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1080824' first='Javen' last='Parker']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/javen-parker/"></a> -East Paulding</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An experienced back already with some wiggle to his game, Parker is still one of the more underrated backs west of Atlanta, but that may change soon after an impressive junior season where he's rushed for 973 yards and 12 touchdowns, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. He might be on the shorter side, but Parker has a natural feel for the position with great acceleration and balance. A smart runner, Parker reads the field well and knows how to hit the hole hard at the line of scrimmage. A tough runner for his size at 5-foot-9 190-pounds, Parker can run through contact and does a nice job of falling down for an extra yard or two. After a strong junior season, the East Paulding back is now ranked as the No. 161 overall prospect in the 2025 class. He's rushed for at least 100 yards six times this year as a junior with his best game coming in a 188-yard four-touchdown performance against Hiram. He's a back to keep a close eye on next year as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1080831' first='Javin' last='Gordon']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/javin-gordon/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;–&nbsp;<strong>Stephens County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top running backs in all of North Georgia, it's about time the 5-foot-9 190-pounder from Stephens County was given a ranking in the latest 2025 update. Now ranked as the No. 80 overall prospect in the state, Gordon runs bigger than his size and does a great job of staying on his feet after initial contact. He's a "yards after contact" type of back who was a bell-cow for the Stephens County offense this fall. He' runs hard's a physical runner between the tackles who can be tough to bring to the ground if not tackled properly. He shows the ability to take over games, rushing for 201 yards, 197 yards, 196 yards, 189 yards, and 187 yards while getting to the 100-yard mark seven times in 11 games. There's a lot to like about his game, and he's clearly one of the best and most productive backs you'll find in North Georgia for the 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
