The 5'8”, 175-pound back had a standout senior season, showcasing his ability to be a complete weapon for Delbarton. What separates Brock is his elite vision. He has a knack for finding cutback lanes and holes in the defense, turning broken plays into significant gains. His compact build and strong lower half make him challenging to bring down, as he consistently fights through first contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beyond his abilities as a rusher, Brock adds significant value in the passing game. He's a natural catcher out of the backfield and runs crisp routes, creating matchup nightmares for linebackers. His acceleration and contact balance allow him to contribute in every offense phase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Programs looking for an all-purpose back will see a lot to love in Dandridge. His well-rounded skill set makes him a plug-and-play option at the next level, and his senior film proves he can make an impact. Expect his recruitment to pick up steam as the transfer portal slows down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16414565/66f0c1f3de0d13c07ae6c352' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675db114b67f1"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1040432"],"_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-675db114b6844"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1040432' first='Bryce' last='Belinfanti'] has been the heartbeat of Woodstown's offense this season. At 5'8”, 160 pounds, the senior shattered Woodstown's single-season rushing record with over 1,700 yards. He was the workhorse, carrying the load for the Wolverines all year. While the heavy usage took its toll late in the season, Bryce's performance solidified him as one of the most productive backs in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speed and acceleration are Bryce's calling cards. He's a one-cut-and-go runner who wastes no time exploding through holes and leaving defenders in the dust. Once he hits the open field, he's tough to catch. Despite his diminutive stature, Bryce's ability to find the crease and breakaway makes him a game-changing threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What separates Bryce from the rest is how he developed his game this year. He added versatility as a receiver, running routes out of the backfield and lining up as a wideout. This adaptability only increases his value at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While his size may have caused some college programs to hesitate, Bryce's production speaks for itself. Expect Bryce's name to rise as the transfer portal quiets down, and schools focus on overlooked prospects. His speed, explosiveness, and ability to contribute in multiple ways will make him an intriguing option for any program looking for immediate impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/JohnLewis19/status/1837281755348521189">https://twitter.com/JohnLewis19/status/1837281755348521189</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></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":["344220"],"_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-675db114b688b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='344220' first='Tylik' last='Hill'], the second-ranked running back in this class according to PrepRedZone, remains one of the top uncommitted talents in the state. Fresh off a phenomenal season that saw him earn New Jersey Athletics Player of the Year honors, Tylik carried Pope John to the state championship game against DePaul. In that game, he left no doubt about his ability to shine under the spotlight, rushing for over 200 yards. His senior season ended with nearly 2,000 rushing yards, solidifying his reputation as one of New Jersey's most dynamic playmakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tylik's skill set is electric. He has unmatched elusiveness, making defenders miss in space with ease. His one-on-one moves are arguably the best in the state, forcing missed tackles with his shiftiness and quick footwork. Beyond his elusiveness, Tylik has elite open-field speed, making him a threat to score on any play. He doesn't just excel as a runner, though; Tylik is also a weapon in the passing game, where his ability to catch out of the backfield keeps defenses guessing and makes him a nightmare to defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite three Division I offers from UMass, Rhode Island, and now Syracuse, Tylik's recruitment remains in flux, particularly with UMass undergoing a head coaching change. However, with the transfer portal frenzy winding down, his film and production will surely catch the eyes of additional Division I programs. Carrying nearly 80% of Pope John's offensive workload this season, Tylik showcased his complete skill set: vision, acceleration, and versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Once college coaches examine his ability to break tackles and create explosive plays, Tylik's recruitment will undoubtedly heat up. He's a game-changing back ready to make an impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/TylikHill/status/1861182552364523882">https://twitter.com/TylikHill/status/1861182552364523882</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1093216"],"_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-675dbcffc164e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">E.J. Brown is another explosive running back in the 2025 class who remains uncommitted despite steadily rising stock. Doubling as a standout track athlete, E.J. brings elite speed and acceleration to the football field. His success in the 100-meter, 110-meter, and 400-meter hurdles is a testament to his athleticism and burst—traits that translate seamlessly into his game as a running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>E.J.'s vision and ability to find and hit holes stand out on the field. Once he identifies an opening, his burst allows him to explode through the gap and take it to the house. He has a knack for making the most of every opportunity, showcasing the kind of open-field speed that puts pressure on defenses to account for him at all times. In today's game, running backs who combine vision, speed, and acceleration are invaluable, and E.J. fits that mold perfectly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently, after earning an offer from Florida Memorial University (FMU), E.J.'s recruitment could gain momentum as the transfer portal chaos settles. With his ability to bring instant juice to any running back room, he's a weapon that college programs will covet. Expect E.J. to decide soon, and whichever school lands him will gain a dynamic playmaker capable of breaking games open with his speed and explosiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/EatonielB/status/1865217083803406746">https://twitter.com/EatonielB/status/1865217083803406746</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["341839"],"_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-675dbcffc1699"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='341839' first='Mark' last='Boyd'] is an uncommitted running back who stands out as one of the most explosive players in the 2025 class. At 5'9” and 165 pounds, Mark consistently demonstrates his ability to break off significant gains, making him a constant home-run threat. His highlight tape is filled with plays where he accelerates past defenders, showing his elite burst and speed in the open field. His track background is evident, as he brings that same explosiveness and quickness to the football field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What sets Mark apart as a runner is his decisiveness. He also has a knack for patience and follows his blocks, waiting for holes to develop. Once he sees an opening, he can explode through the gap and easily make defenders miss. His combination of vision, patience, and sudden acceleration makes him a difficult player for defenses to contain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mark has no offers but draws interest from schools like Marist and Fordham. As the transfer portal activity slows down and programs turn their attention to under-the-radar prospects, Mark has the skill set to find a home at the collegiate level. Whichever team takes a chance on him will get a running back who can flip the field instantly and bring a spark to their offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
