Electric Running Backs: which prospects are poised to breakout?

In this edition we cover additional Running Backs in the state that should make a huge impact in 2025.    Fifita has excellent size to carry a big workload. He has a quick burst and gets to top end speed within strides. Fifita has tremendous lateral agility and changes direction seamlessly. He weaves his way through traffic and with vision, anticipates holes opening up and sees cutback lanes easily. The combination of speed and vision makes him dangerous in open field and with the ball in his hands can take it to the house at a moment's notice. Fifita isn't just a speed back, he has power and excellent contact balance and shows good patience as a runner to allow his blocks to form. He doesn't get antsy or impatient behind the line, he'll slow play his way up to the line, ride the lineman and burst on through to the second and third levels. Fifita is a slashing back with excellent hip sink and power behind him, he is one of the best pure rushers in the state and has a ready made frame for the next level.     Parker is a flashy runner that utilize excellent lateral quickness, agility, and vision to get to the edge at will and to find cutback lanes before they develop. His anticipation allows him to gamble and his speed gets him out of danger. When he is in the open field, it's a foot race to the endzone. Parker is an exceptional receiver and can be lined out wide and run routes. He will juke a Linebacker out and he catches well outside of his frame. Parker is a multi dimensional threat as a weapon for his team, and has excellent vision. The combination of vision along with his elusiveness makes him a deadly return specialist who can impact a game in that aspect. Parker showcases good contact balance and will fight for additional yards and not just a runner that likes a clear runway to showoff. He'll fight for the grimey yards and has a nose for the endzone. Parker has the frame to add on additional weight and is far from a finished product.     Tahi is a patient runner who allows his blocks to form. He'll ride that wave and when he sees a hole open up, he shoots through and works to the second and third level. The patience that he has is great, but he knows when to attack and when to throttle it up a notch. Tahi is a physical runner and works between the tackles as often as he'll look to get to the edge. He's a complete runner in that aspect. He has good vision and his lateral quickness allows him to quickly get to the open spot. Tahi is a physical runner and embodies his team, tough, physical, wears you out and when you're tired, gashes you for chunk yards.     Electric is a word that I would use for Warner. He is an athlete in every sense of the word and could run a sub 11 seconds in the 100M. Warner will work between the tackles and shows good patience and not a runner that gets happy feet as he waves his way through the first level. He will find a crease and explode through and then bounce his runs out wide to get clear sailing. Warner has tremendous lateral quickness and his side to side movement is fantastic to watch. Warner changes direction on a dime and just deadly open space. Once in the clear, it's a track meet to the endzone. Warner is used as a weapon and will be deployed in a multitude of ways. He'll line up in the backfield, in the slot, he'll motion all over, line up as the outside veer, just a unique set of ways to get him into space. Warner is an exceptional receiver who runs good routes, tracks the ball well and has strong hands at the catch point. If he focused solely at the receiver position, he would be an all-state receiver and deadly in the slot. Warner is a tremendous weapon and his speed is his calling card.     Cooper is a taller Running Back but has an excellent frame that should get him to 200lbs and eventually beyond. He is a talented runner with excellent vision and anticipation. Cooper is a runner with great lateral movement and very adept at change of direction. He easily weaves his way through traffic and effortless in his lateral quickness. Cooper does well running in between tackles with very good contact balance and has good speed to get to the second and third level. He knows when to be patient, and does not panic behind the line, he will press the line and ride the wave to find a crease, and with his good vision, once he gets to the second level he's looking to pick up chunk yards. The shift from patience to making defenders miss in open field is tantalizing to watch. With his background as a cornerback, his hands allow him to be a receiving option but in the system at Corner Canyon, they typically don't ask their backs to catch. Cooper showcases excellent movement and an exciting runner who blends patience, vision and quick movement patterns to make defenders miss.    Those are some Running Backs in the state that are set up for huge seasons and should make the most of their opportunities.
