Many expect him to role into the starting role next year as a junior where he should put up even bigger numbers as a junior. The speedy, shifty Brunswick back is now ranked as the No. 12 RB prospect and the No. 91 overall prospect in the 2027 class.</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-67f0115120d41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An elusive, creative back out of Middle Georgia in Jackson who does a great job of seeing the defense and finding holes to run through, Brown opened some eyes last year as a sophomore where he rushed for 578 yards and seven touchdowns in just seven games. He rushed for 100+ yards in four of those seven games, hitting the 140-yard mark in two of them. The 5-foot-9 180-pounder had his best game against Westside where he rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns. He's now ranked as the No. 38 RB and the No. 235 overall player in the state.</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-67f0115120d92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper back south of Atlanta with good size and sneaky speed, Hutson has a good feel for the position who can find a hole and burst through it. Sharing the ball with a loaded backfield last fall, Hutson still managed to run for an impressive 585 yards and five touchdowns with an eye-opening and team-leading 9.3 yards per cary. He's a back with easy D1 potential and has a chance to have a massive junior season in 2025. After a strong sophomore season, Hutson is now ranked as the No. 37 RB and the No. 234 overall prospect in Georgia for the 2027 class.</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-67f0115120dde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He may be on the shorter side, but make no mistake, Hill is an under the radar back who really shines carrying the ball last season as a sophomore. He runs bigger than his 5-7 170-pound frame with impressive burst, vision, and the ability to pick up positive yards consistently. He ran for 601 yards and three touchdowns on the ground last year for an impressive 8.1 yards per attempt. He's ranked in the latest update as the No. 36 running back prospect in Georgia for his class.</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-67f0115120e29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top running backs in Atlanta regardless of class, Jackson is a big-play back with a solid 5-foot-11 195-pound frame with a shifty style of running. He can make defenders miss with the ability to bounce off tackles as well. He's strong, agile, and can score from deep ends of the field. This promising runner took off for 729 yards and 9 touchdowns last year with a 9.2 yards per carry average. He's now ranked as the No. 115 overall prospect in Georgia for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
