These 5 RB’s in the updated 2027 rankings have something to prove

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be examining five players (per article) and sharing my expectations for them this upcoming season. All of these players are in the updated PRZ MD Class of 2027 high school football prospect rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note: This article includes a couple of prospects from Delaware.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128029"],"_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-68797d559f0ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>What I'm looking for from him this season:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He has instincts as a runner and is elusive enough to get himself out of trouble in the backfield. Jones does a good job of identifying cutback lanes. I want to see if he's gotten faster since the end of last season. Does he have that second gear to pull away from defenders? I also want to know if he has a more explosive start out of the gate. If he's improved in those two areas, Jones' stock will go up even more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1511379"],"_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-68797d559f10c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eaton had a strong sophomore year last season.

His acceleration through the hole is impressive as he routinely explodes through the gaps. Eaton is a physical runner who pushes through defenders and routinely breaks tackles. He's a solid downhill runner, and he does a lot of work between the tackles. I'd like to see if Eaton's speed has improved (does he have more of a second gear this season?) and if he has the juice to bounce runs to the outside and turn the corner on defenders. It may not be a part of his team's offensive scheme, but I'd also like to see a few more plays of him as a pass-catcher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628790"],"_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-68797d559f15b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bah comes into this season with an offer from Howard.

He's not the biggest prospect in the backfield, but his production on the football field shows that size doesn't always matter. From a recruiting standpoint, I'd like to see if he's gotten bigger since last season (he was listed at 5-8, 170). Also, I'd like to see how much quicker and faster he's gotten. Don't get me wrong, he can certainly move. When you're his size, qualities like great speed and quickness can help college coaches overlook a player's size. Schools are now aware that he is entering his junior year. Bah seems like the type of player who can handle having a target on his back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1496535"],"_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-68797d559f1ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>What I'm looking to see from him this season: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Milburn rushed for 1,515 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns last year. He was also named the WCAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year last season. I want to see more of what I saw last season. His listed size (5-8, 170) might be the only reason why he hasn't received an early offer or two from at least an FCS school in the region. I'd like to see if he's gotten bigger and stronger… and even taller. The speed, vision, patience, quickness, and toughness are all there. He checks a lot of the boxes. Milburn had a tremendous sophomore season. Let's see if he can improve upon that and be greater in his junior year season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1349631"],"_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-68797d559f1f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is one to keep an eye on as far as players who have a chance to move up significantly in these rankings with a strong junior season. He carried the football 103 times for 742 yards and eight touchdowns last season and currently has offers from Delaware State and Robert Morris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>What I'm looking to see from him this season:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He'll be sharing carries, but I think he has the potential to crack the 1,000-plus yard mark this season. Miller's ability to get to top speed quickly is impressive, as his highlights showcase his explosiveness after the snap. That breakaway speed makes him stand out, and his second gear is evident. A strong junior year will have a couple of FBS offers come his way, in my opinion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
