He brings good size and ran wild as a sophomore this fall, taking off for 894 yards and 11 touchdowns. He averaged over six yards per carry and ran for 100+ yards in five games. He's one of the top young backs north of Atlanta and bound for a giant junior season next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1567287"],"_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-6746038b84d7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A standout two-way prospect from the small town of Dawson, Peachey is a quick, electric back with above-average athleticism. He moves well, can change directions, and shows strong ball skills. He ran for 1,127 yards and 14 touchdowns this fall, making him an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone update. One of the top small-town running backs across the state in the 2027 class, Peachey showed a lot of promise as a sophomore this fall and should be even better next season as a junior if he continues to develop and add muscle mass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["703811"],"_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-67460aefef487"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy, electric back from Middle Georgia, Stinson's natural speed was on full display all season long, flying through defenses on a weekly basis. He shows vision, burst, and the ability to score anytime he has the ball. The smaller, explosive back ran for an impressive 910 yards this fall as a sophomore with 10 touchdowns. He ran better and better as the season went on, rushing for 100+ yards in two of his final three games of the season. He'll have a new ranking in the 2027 rankings after an outstanding 2024 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942201"],"_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-674615f6d1b9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another dynamic back with tremendous speed, Gardner was a true game-changer for the Brunswick offense this fall, showing exceptional balance, quick feet, playmaking ability, and elite speed. He was one of the more productive 2027 backs in Southwest Georgia, rushing for an impressive 874 yards and seven touchdowns on just 61 carries, averaging an impressive 14.3 yards per attempt. When he has the ball, good things happened, making him an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings. He's a big-play back with his best football ahead of him, so look for him to have a monster junior season next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1539181"],"_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-674615f6d1bef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest and more productive 2027 running backs in West Georgia from the regular season, Warner is a slipper back who can maneuver his way through the defense, and then take off down the field when there's room to run. He's an excellent straight-line runner who is also physical enough to break tackles down the field. Warner ran for 816 yards and nine touchdowns last fall, rushing for at least 100 yards in four games this season. His best football is still way down the road, and after an eye-opening sophomore season, look for Warner to light up the stat sheet as a junior next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
