NCISAA RBs To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I recently finished a series on some of the top players in the&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/07/3a-4a-dbs-to-know/">lower classifications</a>, but amidst that series and our NCHSAA conference previews, we haven't had much coverage of other associations, namely the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association (NCISAA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this new series, I'm going position-by-position to give readers an idea of which private school players to keep an eye out for this season. I hit the quarterbacks Wednesday, and I'll look at the running backs here. Here are the top NCISAA RBs to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other NCISAA Position Groups</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/07/ncisaa-qbs-to-know/">Quarterbacks</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">NCISAA RBs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1106930"],"_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-68827da0b1dcc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Not only one of the top NCISAA running backs in the state, Rule is our top-ranked overall running back in the 2026 class. The Nebraska commit's best trait is his vision, as he usually picks the right hole and he's quick to hit full speed. He has the long speed to turn long runs into touchdown runs and has the look of a guy who can contribute early at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820867"],"_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-68827da0b1e38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore led NCISAA in rushing yards last year, eclipsing the 1,700-yard mark in barely 150 carries. The Cornell commit is one of the fastest players in the 2026 class and that shows up immediately on film. He's also an adept receiver out of the backfield, another trait that makes him unique in this class and gives him fairly strong college upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1728224"],"_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-68827da0b1e87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Just a rising junior, Mukendi played just seven games as a sophomore. He only had 45 attempts, but he made the most of his opportunities, showing off excellent power en route to a 375-yard, five-touchdown season. He's far more elusive than you'd expect to see from a guy his size and he often avoids contact with quick feet, allowing him to maximize his yardage. I'm intrigued by his film and his athletic profile.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1728227"],"_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-68827da0b1ef5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most productive freshman rusher in the NCISAA, Miller put up just over 525 yards on 76 carries. he doesn't have a ton of film, but he's an athletic, big-bodied back who isn't afraid of contact. We're hoping to see more of him, because he has an intriguing blend of size and speed for his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1728226"],"_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-68827da0b1f3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cancel was one of the more efficient backs in the state last year, running for over 100 yards a game on just over 15 touches per game. He also scored a touchdown every nine rushes or so, an impressive ratio. He has both good burst through the hole and contact balance to stay close to full speed through contact, and those traits allow him to play with more power than his frame suggests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
