Harris Ranks: My Top Five 2028 Middle Tennessee Running Backs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As mentioned in <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/my-current-top-28-running-backs-in-tennessee-march-24/">my breakdown of Tennessee ball carriers</a> that landed on the watchlist a couple days ago, there is a plethora of talent at this position. The middle of the state is close to being the deepest. Below are five players I feel lead the pack in their respective area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1032063"],"_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":"Hensley scans the football field and sees things happen before he gets there. The kid owns sweet feet and when he reaches an open lane, you're not catching him. I'm impressed by his anticipation that catapults him into big plays every game. He definitely gets swag points and I'm a fan of his attitude. Let's not overlook his returning skills and he is not and I repeat NOT afraid to lower his shoulder whether you respect his size or not.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1029916"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"He finished with 507 yards and 6 Touchdowns on the season and ripped out one of the most impressive runs of his season in the Oakland vs Blackman overtime fiasco. He was awarded best Running Back and received the Iron Man honor from his team. Since, Nance was named Top Performer from Drew Toennies at the PRZ Next Showcase over the past 2 months. I can appreciate his long stride, and one cut and go style. You can tell he trains with a passion and concentrates on his footwork to develop into a high valued ball player.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1193547"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"He is a dual sport athlete who earned All County/MVP, 785 all purpose yards with 12 touchdowns. This kid is more of an athlete but got the skills to carry the pill however you want to get it to him. Keeping him on the edge plays into his strengths in my humble opinion, Brown is very athletic with good ball skills. An elusive playmaker if your don't allow him to get started. Return ability is on point too.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1038480"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1038480' first='Dee' last='McNealy'] proved he can be dangerous any time the rock is in his hands. His average per carry is crazy in some competitions, averaging 30+ yards a carry in some games. He's been selected to the Tennessee Future Stars and strikes me as a player with a huge upside. Nice jump cuts and transitions when slicing across the field. Finishes runs well with solid balance and control.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1068849"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"An All-County power back that put up 100 yards in many contests throughout the year. Played in a double tight offense with a lot of false exchanges in the backfield that kept defenses on their toes. Well if your on your toes with Bass busting through your gap, its usually not a good look for the tackler. I like the way he sifts his way through clutter in between the tackles when attacking his A or B gap runs.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65eb146a81514"} /-->
