RBs/LBs top performers from PRZLA Stock Up Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High school football players from every corner of Louisiana — and even dipping into Texas — visited Baton Rouge on Saturday to participate in the Prep Redzone Louisiana Stock Up Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The network's first-ever Louisiana-based event, held at the new Elite Training Academy near LSU, featured standout performances from every position group and every high school class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at a few of the top eye-catchers among the running backs and linebackers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>*Note: Prep Redzone national administrators are still reviewing combine testing numbers and have yet to release them. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='505643' first='Myd' last='Gilbert'] — 5-11, 210 LB — Destrehan (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wildcats' senior standout carried his strong performance from the fall right into Saturday where he was as comfortable as any linebacker in his backpedaling and shuffling to cover smaller, quicker running backs and consistently made well-timed and executed breaks to shut passing windows and, on a few occasions, deflect the ball away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401981' first='Sage' last='Ingram'] — 6-0, 200 RB — University Lab (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rising senior running back had as good a case as anyone as the top overall performer at Saturday's camp. Ingram checked one box after another from his testing numbers, including back-to-back 40-yard dashes clocked in the 4.4- and 4.5-second range, to his domination of the bulk of his drill and one-on-one reps. He's a big, thickly built back, but showed some of the day's best speed, the quickness to create space from defenders and strong hands and focus to make catches through some contact when necessary.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='228925' first='Lucas' last='Owens Jr.'] — RB/ATH — Minden (2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The member of Prep Redzone Louisiana's initial 2028 watch list released in August showcased some of his speed once he got rolling in the 40-yard dash, burst to the perimeter in running back drills and in the early stages of one-on-ones. The Minden freshman, a two-way talent for the Crimson Tide, was in the mix among the top running backs before landing on his ankle awkwardly on a rep and having to watch the final stages of best-on-best one-on-ones to not risk more of an injury.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='912297' first='DaVekio' last='Ruffin'] — 5-6, 160 RB — Zachary (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Broncos' running back, fresh off a great senior season, had a solid performance at the camp with his quickness showing up early in shuttle testing and carried over as a weapon in his route-running in one-on-ones</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1393848' first='Gregory' last='Williams Jr']. — 5-9, 160 RB/ATH — Catholic (Baton Rouge) (2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The freshman looks like the next standout running back waiting in the wings for a Bears program with a longstanding tradition of producing great talent at the position. Coaches clocked Williams with multiple 40-yard dashes in the neighborhood of 4.4 seconds, and he also showcased some of his potential versatility as a weapon using his quickness and burst to create separation in his route-running and showing strong hands to routinely secure catches for a variety of angles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
