Carson can play all over the field, either in the backfield or out at receiver and was very productive this season for Vallivue. Per MaxPreps, he is the leading Sophomore rusher across the state and has racked up over 700 rushing yards, 6 touchdowns, and just over 10 yards per carry. He is a slippery ball carrier that shows wiggle and short area quickness in the hole, while also able to keep his legs driving and run through contact from linebackers and DB’s. Carson is also a natural pass catcher that can get out into the flats and turn upfield quickly while also not afraid to gain the tough yards inside the tackles. Look for Carson to be added to our rankings in the next update and be one of the premier offensive names to know heading into this off-season.
The Sophomore Skyline standout has had a very nice second season campaign, and has put up some big time numbers for the 4A 8-4 Grizz. He tallied well over 700 yards and 6 touchdowns while rumbling for just over 7 yards per carry. He is a tough to tackle north and south runner that looks for contact in the hole, keeps his legs driving through the first and second level and has some deceptive open field speed in the clear while tough to tackle in one on one situations. He is also light on his feet for his size, shows good vision in tight windows with cutback abilities, and stays patient in-between the tackles before hitting the crease. He is another candidate to enter into our 2026 PRZ Rankings.
Burnham has made his way over to the offensive side of the ball at the running back position, and has done a stellar job for Eagle this season. He is a zone runner that can get vertical quickly, cut against the flow with cutback abilities and shows good contact balance and physicality running the ball, especially for his size. He has a nice first level burst and can make defenders miss in the hole, while also showing some third level speed in the clear with lateral quickness. He was one of the top sophomore rushing leaders in the state per MaxPreps, and helped Eagle to an impressive 10-1 record. Look for Burnham to enter into our running back rankings in the next update and could see his stock rise this off-season.
