2025 Elite Combine: 2027 RB Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Triston Moss, Timberland<br>- 5'11" 176<br>- One of the rising young running back talents in the state showed up and showed off his incredible athleticism during testing highlighted by a 10-foot broad jump, 4.7 laser forty, 32" vertical jump and 4,2 pro agility. Moss runs hard and has a versatile skills set with the ability to be a all purpose back given the receiving skills he showcased in one on ones. He runs with power but also has wiggle and the burst to be a home run threat. Look for him to have a breakout season under new head coach Arlen Harris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1590235' first='Lee' last='White'], St. Charles West<br>- 5'9" 177<br>- Invited to the combine following a strong sophomore season and rushing for over 900 yards and 10 touchdowns, White didn't disappoint and continued what I saw on the field last season at the combine by having an outstanding combine and was very strong with his testing showcasing his great speed, power and quickness running a 4.69 laser forty, broad jumping 9'4", and having a 32" vertical jump. Lee has a great stop, start and burst ability to hit top speed in a hurry. He runs hard and has the ability to make big plays catching the ball out of the backfield or in the slot with the ball skills he possesses. Colleges need to start taking a good look at the rising junior-to-be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1667973' first='Darrion' last='Washington'], Hannibal<br>-5'6" 158<br>- This diminutive running back caught my attention in the playoffs last year with his huge performance stepping in for an injured starter he had and in keeping his Pirates in the ballgame with multiple big runs. Darrion plays much bigger than his size and runs hard between the tackles with the ability to bounce off and most a pile. He also has quick feet and wiggle to avoid tacklers and get outside for home run trips to the end zone. Speed is his game and he showed in testing with a 4.69 laser forty time and showed good power and explosion on his jumps with a 30" vertical being his best. Looking for a big junior year from this talented back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malik Carroll, McCluer North<br>- 5'6" 150<br>_ A similar sized back as Washington who also possesses similar skills. Carroll is a talented all-purpose type back who really excels catching the ball and had a big day in one on ones being able to showcase those skills. He is strong and has good quick twitch cutting ability that helps him in route running as well as with his ability running the ball and avoiding tacklers. He's solidly built and has the strength to run through arms tackles and pick up yards after contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1173479' first='Gavin' last='Morris'], Ft. Zumwalt West<br>- 5'8" 160<br>- This versatile back had one of the top pro ability numbers at the combine with a 4.03 showing great body control, change of direction quickness and good speed. Gavin is a good runner and playmaker with the ball in his hands. He also can be a threat in the slot with his receiving and running skills or out of the backfield. He looks poised to be a bigger factor in the Wildcats offense in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
