Harris Ranks: My Top Five 2028 West Tennessee Running Backs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As mentioned in&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/my-current-top-28-running-backs-in-tennessee-march-24/">my breakdown of Tennessee ball carriers</a>&nbsp;that landed on the watchlist a last week, there is a plethora of talent at this position. The west side of the state can battle with depth versus the middle. 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":["1133753"],"_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":"Burnette is a shifty pro style running back with great contact balance (weight room). His upper body is strong watching him shield or throw defender off him as he runs into the endzone (weight room). His vision is top notch and he runs with attitude. At first I felt he was a little raw, but, I refuse to steal this mans thunder by projecting him as such. He's the real deal. I've seen him put his foot in the ground too many times then accelerate through tackles for pay-dirt. I love when I see young RBs not quit and run out of bounds. I might have to credit his toughness and physicality to play OLB because he brings that same energy to the offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1088019"],"_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":"Hollingsworth has soft hands and long arms. Plays with patience to the hole just as his routes looks when he cruises off the line of scrimmage. Speed kills and that's not a problem for him. Time, after time, he makes people miss in a phone booth and is a constant threat wherever he lines up. This past fall his number was called a few times in a wildcat set where he stayed inside hip to his pullers then turned on the jets once all things were clear to do so.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1086103"],"_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":"Carter has good wiggle at the point of contact and finishes forward. Runs hard and understands how to use off hand weapon to his advantage to create separation or get skinny through tight gaps. Gains ground quickly with a nice skill set to return kicks.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["424657"],"_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":"Reed has gotten it done on both sides of the ball during his middle school career, and was actually the 2022 Tennessee Future Stars Defensive MVP in their annual tilt against Kentucky. He's a multi-sport athlete that simply gets the job done, but he looks the part of a solid RB coming through the ranks as well. Reed is a patient runner with a low center of gravity that will out leverage you if your not careful on your approach. Strong upper and lower body. Built solid and is reliable as a blocker and receiver out the backfield.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1184426"],"_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":"Raimey is a prospect with quickness and solid acceleration on the outside.
