Small-town Sleepers: Underrated, Overlooked RBs On My Radar

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In my experience, the RB position tends to be the spot that gets overlooked the most. This is due to the abundance of capable RBs across the country. This leads to a surplus of underrecruited guys that still have plenty to offer. Here are a few that fit that mold. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1085352' first='Jeanarion' last='Kamga']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Westside","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kamga is a productive, stout RB prospect that runs with a purpose. At 5'8 170, he runs with a low center of gravity and can win with leverage at contact. He might not possess high-level breakaway speed, but he is a scrappy, explosive runner that can quickly hit holes. Kanga is elusive and keeps his feet moving as he searches for openings, which quickly allows him to adjust his body and run path based on how the defense reacts. He has good enough vision and excellent vision, which keeps the second level of the defense accountable.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1572515' first='Emadd' last='Howard']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Walnut Grove","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1572515' first='Emadd' last='Howard'] is a silky smooth runner that accounted for over 1300 total yards as a junior. He is a thin limbed 5'10 170 with plenty of physical development left in the tank. Howard does show some explosiveness when he hits openings up front, but he is more of a glider, sneakily striding past defenders in the second level with his long strides. He is an extremely patient runner with good vision, sticking behind blocks as long as possible and showcasing the bounce in his feet needed to take things outside. When chaos ensues and he has to redirect plays, he remains calm and composed, relying on his light feet to dance around defenders and search for new running lanes. He is still developing his breakaway speed, but he looks the part of a natural runner in space who should only get faster and faster. Howard is a true hidden gem and could be a major steal for some smaller schools at this stage of his recruitment.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Kelby Tymes","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Marion County","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Kelby Tymes is yet another completely overlooked and unheard of prospect on the recruiting trail, despite rushing for over 1000 yards on the year. To go along with his production, he flashes plenty to like on tape. He is an athletic 5'9 170, running with a low center of gravity. He has more room to fill out and become more of a downhill runner as well. He is a sudden, explosive mover that runs exceptionally hard. He can stop and cut on a dime, leaving defenders in the dust and generating fly-by misses. He runs exceptionally hard, which gives him both an edge and inflates his already impressive attributes even more. He might out-run blocks with his playstyle, but he can locate back side defenders well. If you are a small school looking for a hungry, explosive RB prospect, Tymes might be your guy.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1251985' first='Danye' last='Garvin']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Bulloch Academy","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1251985' first='Danye' last='Garvin'] is a two-way player for Bulloch Academy and helped lead the Gators to an 11-1 season as a sophomore. Garvin plays as an HB in a triple-option offense, which means they rely on him for a downhill rushing prescience. With his broad shoulders and willingness to take on contact, he handles that responsibility well. He is still a little raw and clunky as a mover, but he has better speed than you may think, frequently running around defenders and catching the edge. At this point of his career, he can get the yards available, but he can tack on more by running into people and moving the pile. There is some upside here.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6605cd0344cca"} /-->
