<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we continue to look at top tier talent from some top tier programs, it shows just how much talent Georgia has and the talent pool in Georgia is so deep. Looking across the board at every position there are so many talented athletes at the skilled positions and even in the trenches there are so many big time talents to pick from. Here i'm going to dive into some talented running backs on the rise from big programs in the Peach State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1307369"],"_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-67f94c086ff6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The next big thing in the coming years at Milton is going to certainly be [player_tooltip player_id='1307369' first='Mark' last='Johnson Jr.'] He's an entire package kind of back that can give you as many carries and you want and need as an offense. He's going to be a big name within a big program to really watch for. I'm very excited for his growth and development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1411481"],"_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-67f94c086ffcf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">First of all, in order to be a running back in south Georgia, you must be special. The heat, the humidity and the physicality in South Georgia speaks for itself! Outside of those things, [player_tooltip player_id='1411481' first='Ricky' last='Davis Jr.'] has proven himself to be one of the better workhorses in the Peach State when it comes to the running backs in the 2029 class. He is one to really see moving forward as the 2029 class flows into the High School ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1420906"],"_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-67f94c0870018"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I covered [player_tooltip player_id='1420906' first='Gabriel' last='Watson'] last season and he was absolutely spectacular on a consistent basis. He was a huge reason for their amazing season and he will continue to develop into a great back. He's one to see in the 2029 class looking ahead! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1399447"],"_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-67f94c087005d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1399447' first='Caden' last='Bolton'] is a tremendous talent at the running back position and can make big plays outside of the backfield just as well as in the running game from the line of scrimmage. He will be the next big playmaker in the backfield for the Trojans in the very near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1399386"],"_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-67f94c08700a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McClendon is a supreme running back and this young back can make plays anywhere on the field from a running back standpoint. He can catch out of the backfield or run it from the line of scrimmage. Either way, you'll get a ton of great production out of him. He's an excellent back who will only get better and become a big name in the Peach State at the HS level in the 2029 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
