<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue to move along with our breakdown of prospects in the 2025 class.&nbsp; Next up we dive into the running back film from prospects across the state!&nbsp; Here is <strong>Film Room: 2025 Northern Suburbs Running Backs</strong>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833296' first='Michael' last='Dellumo'] (Maine South – 5'10” 185)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a junior Dellumo ran for 1,765 yards and 22 touchdowns on 128 carries. His best asset might be his pass catching! Catches it well out of the backfield and when he gets to the perimeter it is over!&nbsp; Explodes in open field with the ball in his hands. Breaks tackles and spins off blocks making positive yards.&nbsp; Makes guys miss in open field with shake.&nbsp; His ability to run and catch at a high rate will make him intriguing for schools at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='830855' first='Jahmani' last='Muhammad'] (Harlem 5'8” 155)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Really liked Muhammad on tape.&nbsp; Smaller back that has tremendous speed!&nbsp; Flies down the field once the ball is in his hands breaking away from defenders.&nbsp; Explosive runner that doesn't lose speed on cuts. Good hands in the pass game.&nbsp; Brings some gadget ability and can be a change of pace back in certain systems.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='252527' first='Cole' last='Klawikowski'] (Hampshire – 5'9” 200)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 8 games as a junior Klawikowski went for 1,118 yards and 16 total touchdowns.  Hampshire runs it out of the wishbone formation a lot of the time.  Good quickness and speed especially with his ability to get the corner.  Hesitation as a runner allows him to make guys miss.  Soft hands catching the ball and is a good threat in the screen game.  Could see him used as a third down back at the next level or change of pace guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1120489' first='Ryan' last='Wambo'] (Evanston – 5'10” 190)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wambo missed most of the season due to injury so his tape was based on two games.&nbsp; Big and bruising back that breaks tackles. Loves to run in between the tackles.&nbsp; Flashes as a pass catcher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1292680' first='Calvin' last='Jackson'] (Barrington – 5'9” 190)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Barrington running back had 381 yards on 42 carries for 9.1 yards per carry.&nbsp; This back has adequate speed.&nbsp; His vision through traffic and ability to bounce off defenders and use quick side cuts to get loose are his strengths.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1219584' first='Brayden' last='Knoll'] (Byron – 5'10” 190)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knoll is coming off a massive season recording over 1,141 yards and 21 TDs on the ground. Works out of a triple option set often as the side back. Slippery through the hole with a quick stop and start. Follows blocks well and has good speed to break away after the initial blocking has done its job.&nbsp; Solid pass catcher that has some H-Back potential in there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
