2025 Running Backs to Watch in 2024

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Natural State has a rich history of producing talented running backs. Over the years, the game has shifted toward a focus on the passing game. However, that does not mean that talented running backs have disappeared. In this article, we are going to highlight some running backs to watch out for next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261846' first='Darnell' last='Williams']-Running Back-Ashdown-5'11” 175-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='261846' first='Darnell' last='Williams'] is a prospect that can hurt the opposing team from both sides of the football. He is an extremely versatile player for Ashdown. From an offensive perspective, Williams is a difficult running back to bring down. He has a knack for making opposing defenders miss tackles. Williams does a great job of picking out the appropriate rushing lane and exploding through the hole. The Ashdown prospect is a player to watch out for next season. He has the potential to do big things on Saturdays in the future as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533490' first='Kyle' last='Reed']-Running Back-Arkadelphia-5'10” 165-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Arkadelphia running back can be lined up all over the field for the Badgers. Reed is a versatile prospect that works as a running back but can also be split out wide and used in the passing game. He has the ability to rush between the tackle or make a move and cut the run down the sidelines. Reed is a player to watch out for next season for the Badgers. Arkadelphia always has a talented team and I do not expect any different in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cam Settles-Running Back-Little Rock Parkview-6'0” 195-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cam Settles is a running back that can punish opposing defenders attempting to wrap him up and make the tackle. Settles has a knack for breaking tackles and not going down on initial contact. He has the speed to get into the second level and forces the safety to attempt to bring him down. Parkview has a talented roster coming back for the 2024 season and I expect a big season from the Patriots. Settles is a running back to watch out for next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323925' first='Cameron' last='Keller']-Running Back-Van Buren-6'0” 170-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Van Buren running back does a great job when it comes to running and catching the football. Keller displays plenty of patience in allowing the rushing lanes to develop before taking off through the lane. He is a running back that gets stronger as the game progresses. Keller has the speed and shiftiness to make opposing defenders miss tackles. Over the past few seasons, the Pointers have done a great job of using Keller in the passing game as well. Keller is a running back with the potential for a big 2024 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='495233' first='Kotton' last='Parker']-Running Back-Searcy-6'0” 160-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Searcy always has talented players that can carry the football. Parker is a versatile prospect that is dangerous with the ball in his hands. He does a great job of making opposing defenders miss tackles.
