Way Too Early Look: Top New Jersey 2030 Running Backs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is plenty of time between today and the start of the 2025 fall season, but there are already a handful of Running Backs that are standing out amongst the crowd in this New Jersey 2030 class. Below is a look at four that already have our eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1196450"],"_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-67b88ea7062ce"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Ocean County native</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a two-time 12U AYF Jersey Shore Conference All-Star, Foendoe has already cemented himself as one of the must-know names down the shore. The Toms River product is a strong, balanced Running Back/Middle Linebacker and already has two National Championships on his resume. With his presumed final season of pre-high school ball on the horizon, put him on your early watchlist for a roster spot in the 2026 AYF 8th Grade National All-Star Game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1627590"],"_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-67b8b6616ca29"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Camden County native</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I haven't even come close to starting my deep dive on this 2030 class yet, but at this (early) point, I'm going to have to see some impressive film to make me change my mind on who the best 2030 RB from Camden County is. The nephew of Albert Young, who ranks third All-Time for rushing yards at the University of Iowa, [player_tooltip player_id='1627590' first='Marcus' last='Young'] is a chip off the old block. With unmatched explosion and strength out of the backfield, Young was named Eastern's Offensive Player of the Year in 2024 and is one the most elite players in the Tri-County United Football League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1518251"],"_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-67b8b6616ca7b"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Gloucester County native</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got an up close look at Hudson this past December at AYF Nationals, where he helped Olympus finish fifth in the 12U Division 2 bracket. While a fifth place finish may not impress, consider the fact that Olympus only lost by a touchdown to the eventual National Runner-Up in the opening game of the tournament. Hudson is a quick back with excellent vision that allows him to see small creases and accelerate through them in the blink of an eye. The speedster is reportedly considering both public and private schools as of Feb. 2025, with Roman Catholic and St. Joe's Prep (both in Philadelphia) leading the way in the private sector. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1396304"],"_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-67b8b6616cac1"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Gloucester County native</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fact that Guzman decided to reclass back to the class of 2030 should strike fear in the hearts of any team that has to play him this upcoming 2025 fall season. This past season as a 12-year old, he was nothing short of dominant for the Deptford Spartans in the 14U division of the tough Tri-County United Football League. Built like a bulldog but with the feet and quickness of a scat back, he's already squatting north of 300 pounds. To this point in February 2025, he is an all-purpose back that can run between the tackles, has the speed to get to the outside, and can even be a factor in the passing game out of the backfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
