<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186938' first='Ramsey' last='Dennis'] - Colquitt County</strong></p>

<p>An explosive, shifty back out of Colquitt County, Dennis is one of the more underrated South Georgia backs who runs with exceptional balance and the ability to pick up yards after first contact. He shows good vision, burst, and has the potential to score any time he has the ball. One of the more talented 2025 backs in the area, Dennis is coming off a big junior season where he rushed for a team-leading 982 yards and 14 touchdowns in 12 games. He showed quick feet and change of direction which allowed him to rush for an impressive 7.3 yards per carry. He helped carry the load for one of the top South Georgia programs in the state and should be even better as a senior in 2024. Look for the 5-foot-10 175-pounder to see some possible college interest to come his way this off-season. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1155912' first='Tyler' last='Blalock'] - Cambridge</strong></p>

<p>A productive Fulton County back who flashed D1-caliber potential last fall, Blalock brings plenty of speed in a 5-foot-7 170-pound frame. He's not the biggest back around, but he's quick, shifty, and shows great burst through the line of scrimmage. When he gets to the second level, he's tough to coral and bring down by defenders down the field. He shows impressive breakaway speed and does a good job of running between the tackles. One of the more productive backs in the North Fulton area, Blalock is coming off a strong 2023 season where he rushed for an impressive 1,090 yards and 12 touchdowns. He ended the season in a big way, rushing for 133, 213, and 94 yards in his final three games of the season. He also rushed for a touchdown in every game but one throughout the season. He's a sleeper back to keep an eye on in 2024.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1186950' first='Aucy' last='Jacobs'] - Banks County</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top running backs in Northeast Georgia, Jacobs may not be the biggest or fastest back around, but he's a natural runner with impressive vision and the ability to elude defenders. A consistently tough runner, Jacobs gives it everything he has each time he has the ball. He shows quick feet and the ability to make defenders miss in the open field. The small-town back is flying way under the radar, but his play as a junior last fall deserves recognition. In 2023, Jacobs ran for 1,120 yards and 14 touchdowns. His best game came against Franklin County where he rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns. He was one of the more productive backs in the area and across the region last year with the ability to have an even bigger season next fall as a senior. </p>
