<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the Southeast Middle School Camp at the Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro earlier this month, it's time to begin highlighting some of the top performers from the Prep Redzone Next event that made their presence known in front of different coaches and scouts. To kickstart positional breakdowns, here's my list of the top running back performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1029916"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In the first place spot on my list of top performers is [player_tooltip player_id='1029916' first='Micah' last='Nance'], a running back at Blackman Middle School. In addition to excellent size and speed, what impressed me about Nance was his athleticism and ability to utilize strong footwork to execute in both warm-up drills and positional drills. I also liked Nance's physical edge and ability to utilize his core strength to overpower his opponent.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6f2c7006d9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["988295"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1139780,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another skilled prospect to showcase his talent was Jordon Ward, an athlete at Simmons Middle School. What stood out the most about Ward's playstyle was his explosiveness as his electric speed and versatility proved his ability to break free of his man in the pocket and make a difference down the stretch. I also liked Ward's ability to be deceptive with his movement and stun his foe with his arms.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a6f2c700780"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1019701"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1151564,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1019701' first='Winston' last='Ford'], a running back at Northern Pulaski High School.
