<p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 5'7" 175-pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='451506' first='Daniel' last='White'] is on the smaller side of the RB spectrum. Coming of an impressive 2,000 yard season White showed himself as a top back in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On tape, White is one of the most impressive backs. He is tricky to tackle and is physical. He has a solid grasp on the ball at all times and rarely fumbles. He has a smooth lower half and uses it to make him one of the shiftiest RB's in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>White is a for sure top five RB in the state and has the potential to climb up the rankings this season with continued success. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 5'11" 180-pounds, Barnwell has a solid size for the RB position. In a stacked 2026 class Barnwell is at the top of the list for good reason. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Barnwell is extremely shifty and has smooth hips. He makes cuts across the field with ease and is extremely tough to tackle. He is a good pass catcher and a threat from the backfield. He has solid speed and can reach the next level quickly.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Barnwell had an excellent Junior season with impressive tape. If he continues on this path, he can cement himself as a top back in the 2026 class. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Winter has been named All-State in three straight years. The 6'0" 185 pound RB can play across the field at multiple positions. He projects as a RB. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He has a solid frame for the RB position. On tape he plays multiple positions and has highlights in each aspect. He is a shifty playmaker who has a solid blend of speed and IQ. He is incredibly tough to tackle and hard to game plan for. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He holds offers from Maine and Wagner for good reason as he is an impressive player to watch on the field. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'0" 205 pounds, Ferraro has a solid frame for the RB position. In a run first offense the Eastport-South Manor prospect, accumulated over 1,400 yards. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He is a tough physical runner who attacks the ground with every step. He is a quick runner who uses his vision to move the chains and create gains for his offense. He played a little bit of QB where he showed some abilities to toss the ball downfield. He could be a QB but with his running skills he projects more as a RB. </p>
