2025 KY Stock Up Showcase: RB Standouts

This past Sunday, our Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase tour made a stop in Elizabethtown, KY. It was a great camp with a ton of talent on display from the classes of 2025-28. However, some players did stand out above the rest and I will be taking the next few days or so to highlight those top performers at each position. After already covering the quarterbacks, here are the top running backs who caught my attention at Sunday's camp.    [player_tooltip player_id='840738' first='Wyatt' last='Raney'] was very impressive at Sunday's camp, taking home RB MVP honors. He was a very tough matchup for the linebackers in the open field competition, showing the speed to blow by them to the end zone and the elusiveness to make them miss. Raney also impressed with his smooth route running ability in the 1v1 passing competition. Wyatt doesn't currently hold any offers but he has received some interest and I expect his recruitment to continued to heat up heading into his senior year.     [player_tooltip player_id='1200633' first='Kadin' last='Hanshaw'] is a player who has been high on my radar for a while now and continued to stand out on Sunday. He was very impressive in individual drills, showing the ability to make smooth cuts and change direction with ease. Hanshaw also stood out in the 1v1 passing competition, showing the quick breaks to create separation along with the speed to blow by opposing defenders on deep routes. Kadin should be a player to continue to keep an eye on over the next couple seasons.     [player_tooltip player_id='1176931' first='Jaxen' last='Smith'] is another running back who has been on my radar for a while now and continued to impress on Sunday. Smith was dominant in the open field competition against the linebackers, showing the ability to make quick cuts on the dime to make them miss with ease. He also showed the ability to use his speed and quickness in the 1v1 passing competition to create separation. Smith doesn't currently hold any offers but he is a player who should be on the radar of college coaches heading into his senior season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1019701' first='Winston' last='Ford'] is a young running back who quickly caught my attention at Sunday's camp. Ford was very impressive during position drills, showing very smooth change of direction ability and impressive footwork when making cuts. He also stood out during the open field competition, showing the elusiveness to make opposing linebackers miss with ease. Ford will be an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on as he continues to develop over the next couple seasons.     The final running back who stood out to me at Sunday's camp is [player_tooltip player_id='1274303' first='Peyton' last='Ladd']. Ladd was very impressive during position drills, keeping the ball high and tight through each drill and showing smooth change of direction ability. He also stood out during the open field competition against linebackers, showing the ability to set up the defender for quick inside cuts to make them miss. Peyton will be a player to continue to keep an eye on as his role in the Male offense continues to grow over the next couple seasons.
