<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These under-the-radar quarterbacks could have big junior seasons in 2025...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659671"],"_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-6803c196a1266"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A metro-Atlanta running back from Fayetteville who plays bigger than his size, Morr is a tough back who runs with balance and can be tough to bring down after first contact. He alos brings above-average speed with impressive vision. He ran for an impressive 622 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore last fall, averaging 8.5 yards per carry. He'll be an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone update.</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-6803c196a12d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An outstanding two-way athlete outside of Augusta, Norman was consistently one of the best athletes on the field on a weekly basis last fall. He's a natural runner who does a great job of eluding defenders down the field and creating big plays in the run game. Norman ran for an impressive 688 yards and 17 touchdowns last season and will be one of the best players in the area next fall as a junior. If that happens, look for some Power Four interest and possible offers to come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378423"],"_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-6803c196a132b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tough, physical runner from South Georgia who has no problem bouncing off defenders, Neal is a power back coming off a strong sophomore season where he ran for 828 yards and seven touchdowns. He runs hard and can be tough to bring down by just one defender. His best football is still way ahead of him and he has a chance to have an even bigger season as a junior this fall. He's currently ranked as the No. 30 RB prospect in the state for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659677"],"_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-6803c196a13a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper running back out of Johns Creek who showed lots of potential last season as a sophomore, DiPietro is a shifty back who can make defenders miss in the open field and finishes runs strong when being brought to the ground. He ran for 560 yards and one touchdown but has the size, talent, and potential to have a really big season next fall as a junior. Look for him to see a new ranking when the next 2027 Prep Redzone update is released.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659704"],"_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-6803c196a1402"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest-returning backs in the Athens area for the 2027 class, Darden is a quick back with excellent vision, burst, and natural speed, allowing him to hit the hole and take off down the field. He has no problem running behind his pads and can be tough to tackle if not wrapped up properly. This promising back is coming off a strong sophomore season where he ran for 557 yards and nine touchdowns. He was one of the more productive backs for his class in the area last season and could light up the stat sheet as a junior in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
