C/O 2026 N.E. Top 400 Ranking Update: RB’s Added and Moved Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moving forward with all New England Ranking Updates for any class, we will cap the number of top-ranked prospects in each class at 400. By restricting the total number of ranked athletes, we believe this will enhance the competitiveness of being included in each class ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was significant activity in the <strong>Class of 2026 </strong>in the New England region. We've seen several new names enter the rankings, along with many reclassifications and transfers, as post-graduate athletes arrive in New England for their final high school football season. We have finalized our summer ranking update for the Class of 2026, based on the prospects we have assessed. In this report, I will preview the Top <strong>“Running Backs”</strong> who have been added and who have moved up within the New England Region Class of 2026 rankings following a highly competitive spring and summer evaluation period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">New Names/Reclass/Transfers/And Added To C/O 2026 Rankings List:</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["498288"],"_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-687131f747993"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='498288' first='Jordan' last='Duke'] ranking grade placed him as the #146 overall prospect and the #5 in the New England Region of the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='498288' first='Jordan' last='Duke'] attends school in Rhode Island and will hold the #1 Running Back player position in the <strong>State of Rhode Island</strong> within the class of 2026, leading into the fall 2025 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Known Offers: URI 5/15/25,</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16815376/674a7c4f81389f62edd8c999' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687131f747b4d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["695348"],"_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-687131f747b9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='695348' first='Demitrias' last='Fletcher'] ranking grade placed him as the #246 overall prospect and the #9 Running Back in the New England Region of the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='695348' first='Demitrias' last='Fletcher'] attends school in Connecticut and will hold the #
