He's a quick, elusive back who continues to put on good weight, making it tougher for defenders to bring him down next fall. As a junior last season, DeBruce ran for 731 yards and four touchdowns in a backup role but should be the leading ball-carrier next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1612941"],"_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-67ed413ef2840"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">a metro-Atlanta back out of Covington added to the latest 2026 rankings this spring, Mims is another shifty, elusive back coming off a strong junior season where he ran for 967 yards and 8 touchdowns. One of the more consistent backs in the area, Mims always gave it his all, rushing for at least 80 yards in seven games. He's only getting better, and now he's ranked as the No. 43 RB prospect and the N0. 364 overall prospect in the state for his class. Expect Mims to have a giant final season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1576146"],"_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-67ed413ef2897"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under the radar South Georgia back out of powerful Lee County, Williams is a 5-foot-9 175-pounder who showed lots of promise and big-play ability last year as a junior behind one of the best running back prospects in America. Williams still managed to show his talent and versatility as he rushed for 630 yards on 70 carries, scoring 12 total touchdowns on the season. He's now ranked as the No. 30 RB and the No. 277 overall 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":["1610586"],"_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-67ed413ef28eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tough, physical two-way standout from North Georgia, Davis is a tackle-breaking back with good size who can pick up tough yards between the tackles. The Rockmart standout rushed for an impressive 937 yards and 10 touchdowns, hitting the 100-yard mark four times. He rushed for at least 80 yards in seven different games. He's bound for a giant senior season and will enter the summer as the No. 39 RB and the No. 257 overall prospect in the state for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561821"],"_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-67ed413ef2938"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive backs in Middle Georgia last year in the 2026 class, Salahuddin runs hard with plenty of speed at 5-foot-9 180-pounds. He's a natural runner who can elude defenders, make them miss, and gives max-effort when given a chance to make plays. He ran for a team-leading 1,034 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior last fall while catching 14 passes for 207 yards and one more touchdown. He's one of the top returning backs in the area and now ranked as the No. 28 RB and the No. 264 overall prospect in the state for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
