<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sophomore running backs are looking to dominate in the first round of the playoffs this week...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["474084"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672a775fc465f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical, tackle-breaking back in Gwinnett County who already holds an impressive offer list, Tyson is one of the best 2027 running back prospects in the country and is proving it this fall. A bowling-ball of a back who is so tough to bring down, Tyson has run for 2,123 yards and 26 touchdowns this season. He's run for at least 200 yards in six games this season and even hit the 300-yard mark against Parkview with four touchdowns. He's rushed for multiple touchdowns in eight games and is hoping to run through West Forsyth in the first round this weekend. Look for his Prep Redzone ranking to be on the rise as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Dominique Ball","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_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":"Westover","_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672a7a71c7259"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A shifty, explosive back who can slither his way through defenders, Ball is a small-town back in South Georgia having a dominant sophomore season this fall. He shows great vision, burst, and the ability to elude defenders in the open field. This promising young runner has rushed for an outstanding 1,793 yards and 26 touchdowns at the end of the regular season, He's absolutely worthy of a bump in the next Prep Redzone rankings after his extremely productive season. He's rushed for at least 100 yards in every game and is coming off a career game last weekend where he ran for 302 yards and three touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["419329"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672a8b81b2bf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another highly-ranked sophomore back with a loaded offer list, Gipson is an easy Power Four back with excellent size, drive, physicality, and the ability to pick up yards after initial contact. He bounces off defenders with ease and found his way into the endzone on a consistent basis. In just nine games, Gipson ran for at least 100 yards in eight of them, hitting the 200-yard mark in three of his last four games to end the regular season. He's averaging an outstanding 7.7 yards per carry and 167 yards per game. He's one of the best 2027 backs in the state and will lead his Kell team to a first-round matchup against Hiram.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["416392"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672a8ce1c2638"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top overall athletes not only in Georgia, but across the South in the 2027 class, Beard is already a major Power Four prospect due to his quickness, natural athleticism, and versatility. He can make plays in the special games and in the return game, but he's been a dynamic, game-changing running back for the mighty Prince Avenue Christian Wolverines this fall. This productive sophomore has rushed for 1,451 yards and 15 touchdowns this season, finding the endzone on the ground in every game during the regular season. He also brings dependable hands out of the backfield and should see plenty of opportunities to make plays in the first round.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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='1584772' first='Ty' last='Cummings']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"West Laurens","_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672abb9cb4f6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic, do-it-all athlete with outstanding burst, agility, and natural speed that allows him to be a nightmare to corral in the open field, Cummings is a small-town back who can make plays anytime he has the ball in his hands. He's one of the more productive backs across the state in the 2027 class and really opened some eyes this season as a sophomore. Cummings has run for 1,276 yards through the first nine games of the season with 15 touchdowns. He's rushed for a score in every game but two and has hit the 100-yard mark in six of his nine games. He's a sophomore back on the rise who wants to end his second season with a big playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
