Returning RBs to Watch This Spring

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1793567' first='Arthur' last='Lewis'] IV | 2026 | Bartram Trail | @ArthurlewisIv0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lewis has been a focal point for Bartram Trail's offense, proving why he's on the radar for D1 programs. At 5-9, 190 pounds, he's a tough runner with a nose for the end zone. After racking up over 1,600 yards and 11 TDs last season, he's poised for another big year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1583258' first='Lavonski' last='Tubbs'] | 2026 | Ridge | @LavonskiT2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Polk County's leading rusher last season, Tubbs is a physical, downhill runner at 6-0, 210 pounds. He doesn't just excel on the ground—his ability to contribute as a receiver adds another dimension to his game. His blend of power, balance, and vision makes him one of the most well-rounded backs in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1268166' first='Corey' last='Simms'] | 2026 | Mitchell | @CoreySimms18</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simms is the definition of a complete back. He's shifty in space, has the vision to create running lanes, and can make an impact in the passing game. His ability to handle a full workload makes him a valuable asset heading into the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Oshea Faison | 2026 | Lake Mary | @FaisonOshea26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true athlete at 6-0, 205 pounds, Faison's versatility is what makes him special. He can power through defenders in the run game, create mismatches as a receiver, and bring a dynamic presence to Lake Mary's offense. His stock could rise significantly this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398621' first='Akeevin' last='Anderson'] | 2026 | OCP | @Akeevinanderson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Few players in Florida had a more versatile and productive season than Anderson. He finished with 1,010 rushing yards, 12 TDs on the ground, and made plays as a receiver and defender. His ability to contribute in multiple phases of the game makes him a name to track closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Connail Jackson | 2027 | Cardinal Mooney | @ConnailJ</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson put up staggering numbers last season—1,604 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns. He's explosive, patient, and has elite open-field ability. Expect his recruitment to take off as he enters his junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671133' first='Amos' last='Bradford'] | 2027 | West Broward | @Amosbrad177</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bradford is a home-run hitter every time he touches the ball, averaging an eye-popping 9.7 yards per carry last season. He has the burst and agility to make defenders miss at the second level, making him one of the most efficient backs in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
