After breaking down some explosive wide receiver talent, it's time to continue to focus on the offensive side of the ball as we take a look at some impactful under the radar running backs in Kentucky to watch for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401691"],"_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 is [player_tooltip player_id='401691' first='Cameron' last='Bulle'], a running back at Glasgow High School. In addition to outstanding breakaway speed and durability, what impresses me the most about Bulle is his ability to maneuver the defense in the pocket. I also like how Bulle utilizes his size and footwork to dodge and weave tackles. Bulle's ability to break free into enemy territory from along the edge also stands out.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18303820/654fdf9ac11a7e045c436dd7u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aee37625050"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283971"],"_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":"I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='283971' first='Jeffrey' last='Vazzana'], a running back at Christian Academy of Louisville. What makes Vazzana so impactful is his ability to use his strength to blast past the defense in the pocket. I also like how Vazzana can pick up speed down the stretch and utilize his size to escape defenders, proving he can create solid seperation in the backfield and barrel over defenders on his way to the house.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17387642/659ae9a7578ee30ee0045ddbu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aee376250b4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373047"],"_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":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='373047' first='Ali' last='Hamdiyah'], a running back at Scott County High School. On top of electric speed off the snap, what impresses me about Hamdiyah is his ability to be durable in the pocket and find openings to slip into the open field. I also like Hamdiyah's ability to lock in at the goal line, proving he can withstand heavy defensive pressure and march into the endzone for the touchdown.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mkxjxu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aee37625103"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735728"],"_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":"Another skilled prospect to keep an eye on is [player_tooltip player_id='735728' first='David' last='Anderson'], a running back at Dixie Heights High School. What stands out the most about Anderson's playstyle is his explosiveness on the run, showcasing his physicality and ability to force his way into the backfield. I also like Anderson's ability to seperate himself from the defense in the open field, using bursts of speed to quickly march into the endzone.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MXvGLu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aee3762514b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["768920"],"_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":"Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='768920' first='John' last='Hammond V'], a running back at Pleasure Ridge Park High School. Hammond impresses me with his electric speed and footwork, showing off his ability to juke out the defense and slip into the backfield.
