He hits the hole hard and has enough speed to break away from opposing defenders down the field. The impressive back ran for 739 yards and 10 touchdowns last fall while catching nine passes for 77 yards and two more scores. He has a nose for the end-zone and was one of the more productive sophomore backs in the area last fall. Look for him to be even better and possibly find the end-zone even more 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":["1158124"],"_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-67c09d286c4b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under the radar running back in the Augusta area who can break off a big run anytime he has the ball, Norman was a big-play waiting to happen due to his running style, powerful frame, and ability to make defenders miss down the field. He can power through defenders after initial contact and has enough agility to change directions and take off for a big gain. Norman ran for 688 yards and found the end-zone an eye-opening 17 times. He was a scoring machine and an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631858"],"_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-67c09d286c528"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy South Georgia back who deserves more recognition after a productive 2024 season, this playmaking sophomore may be on the smaller side, but he brings outstanding speed, gliding away from defenders in the open field. He can stop and change directions on a dime and does a good job of slipping through defenders who don't wrap up properly. One of the more productive backs in his region, Kenney opened some eyes last fall as he ran for 803 yards and 10 touchdowns with two more receiving touchdowns. Look for him to have an even bigger season next fall for the Hornets as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631860"],"_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-67c09d286c5a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another sleeper back in Atlanta who deserves more recognition, Jackson is a back with excellent speed for his size at 5-foot-11 195-pounds who does a great job of keeping the pile moving. When he's not flying past defenders for giant gains down the field, Jackson is lowering his shoulder and picking up impressive yards after initial contact. Jackson took off for 729 yards and 9 touchdowns last year on just 79 carries for an eye-opening 9.2 yards per carry. He also added one more touchdown as a receiver. He showed easy D1-caliber talent last year and should see offers come his way down the road with another giant season next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1183230"],"_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-67c09d286c619"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A Middle Georgia athlete who really shined last fall as a big-play pass-catcher, this Wilkinson County weapon is lean, athletic, and was a go-to option for the Warriors passing attack. The multi-sport standout hauled in 35 passes last season as a sophomore for 658 yards and seven touchdowns. He hit the 100-yard mark just twice but was still a dependable option on a weekly basis. He scored a touchdown in every game but four last year and should see an increase in his Prep Redzone ranking next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
