One of the best backs between Savannah and Augusta, Hilton is coming off a strong second season as he rushed for 803 yards and seven touchdowns. He's one of the top returning backs in the area and should be even better as a junior in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635670"],"_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-67cad0cfd1cca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under the radar back in Northeast Georgia who ran hard last season at 5-foot-11 190-pounds, Rangel is a versatile back who does a good job of running with balance with enough speed to out-run opposing defenders to the end-zone. He ran for 719 yards and eight touchdowns last fall as a sophomore while catching 15 passes for 192 yards and one more score. Look for him to be one of the more productive backs in the region next fall as a sophomore if he continues to work hard with a offseason over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605919"],"_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-67cad0cfd1d55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A smaller, shifty back and one of the top sleeper running backs in Gwinnett County for the 2027 class, Hill is a smooth runner who does a good job of seeing the field and picking up the most yards possible. He's tough to corral, can change directions quickly, and is coming off a promising sophomore season where he ran for 601 yards and three touchdowns. He made the most of every carry, averaging an outstanding 8.1 yards a carry. He's a 2027 running back to know with a bound for a strong junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635970"],"_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-67cad0cfd1dd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the many talented backs who ran wild for the Ola Mustangs last fall, Hutson was a dependable runner when given an opportunity to carry the ball, averaging an eye-opening 9.3 yards per carry last season as a sophomore. He was third on the team in carries, toting the rock just 63 times, but took off for 585 yards and five touchdowns, hitting the 100-yard mark three times. He's a tough runner with deceptive speed and the ability to score from anywhere on the field. Look for him to have a possible breakout junior season this fall during the 2025 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635971"],"_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-67cad0cfd1e51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another Middle Georgia back flying under the radar, Brown is a tackle-breaking back with above-average athleticism, good balance, and the ability to put the Jackson offense on his back. He played in only seven games, but he ran for 578 yards and seven touchdowns, going over the 100-yard mark in four of his seven games. He's one of the best 2027 backs in the area and will be added to the latest 2027 rankings this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
