Top 10 Class of 2027 RBs in Southern Section (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1. [player_tooltip player_id='584471' first='Jaxsen' last='Stokes'], Sierra Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stokes ran for 542 yards with 9 touchdowns and had 348 yards receiving with a touchdown for Sierra Canyon as a sophomore. I remember seeing him as a freshman at the Under Armour Next camp and there wasn't a linebacker at the camp that could cover Stokes in the one-on-one period. He has excellent burst and explosiveness after he gets by the second level. Stokes reads his blockers well and is a patient runner with some wiggle. He has offers from Arizona State, Notre Dame, Penn State and USC among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a a great time at USC working with <a href="https://twitter.com/AnthonyJonesFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AnthonyJonesFB</a> ✌️! <a href="https://t.co/tD6oiXNCcO">pic.twitter.com/tD6oiXNCcO</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='584471' first='Jaxsen' last='Stokes'] 27' (@JaxsenStokes) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaxsenStokes/status/1934749435994755131?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 16, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2. [player_tooltip player_id='1396184' first='Maliq' last='Allen'], St. John Bosco</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allen led St. John Bosco in rushing last season with 1003 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has very good field vision and when he sees a hole, he commits with some burst. Allen has wiggle and routinely makes defensive backs miss after the second level. He has the speed to get to the edge quickly an expose bad pursuit angles. Allen is a tough guy to bring down and often picks up extra yardage even after the play seems dead. Texas A&amp;M, Southern Mississippi and Syracuse have offered Allen among others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Soph szn tape<br><br>130 carries<br>1003 rushing yards<br>11 Tds<br>Playing the toughest league in the nation<a href="https://t.co/T2JJvxvwXX">https://t.co/T2JJvxvwXX</a> <a href="https://t.co/KAyuwX0hvg">pic.twitter.com/KAyuwX0hvg</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1396184' first='Maliq' last='Allen'] (@leek2cold_) <a href="https://twitter.com/leek2cold_/status/1864489951338869020?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 5, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3. [player_tooltip player_id='1698851' first='Benjamin' last='Harris'], Servite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is the fastest guy on this list and one of the top sprinters in the state. He is a threat to score every time he touches the ball and attacks the line of scrimmage quickly. Harris can reach top speed in just a few steps and once he gets past the second level, he is gone. His field vision is good and he is a one-cut-and go type of back who makes quick lateral steps and gets back to top speed quickly. He may play a lot of receiver for Servite this season and they will find creative ways to get him the ball as much as possible. Harris has offers from Oregon, Penn State, Utah and UCLA among others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Full Sophomore Season Highlights! <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/recruitcoachmc?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@recruitcoachmc</a> <a href="https://t.co/t4tGLxNiIE">https://t.co/t4tGLxNiIE</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1698851' first='Benjamin' last='Harris'] (@BeenyBoom6) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeenyBoom6/status/1936268493256884734?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 21, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4. [player_tooltip player_id='1611360' first='AJ' last='McBean'], Mira Costa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McBean ran for 975 yards with nine touchdowns for Mira Costa last season. He is a downhill runner who is tough to catch once he gets to the second level and has the speed to get to the edge quickly. He's a thick guy who moves fluidly for a guy with his frame and he shows good short-area quickness. Mira Costa often runs 31 personnel runs and he reads his blockers well at the first two levels and reads his linemen well in the screen game. San Diego State, New Mexico and Sacramento State have offered McBean. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just work 🐾🧪 505 lbs x 4 (reds are 25kg) &amp; drills with leather weighted gloves <a href="https://t.co/EupAYDdWyM">pic.twitter.com/EupAYDdWyM</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1611360' first='AJ' last='McBean'] (@ajmcbean11) <a href="https://twitter.com/ajmcbean11/status/1946451362218451130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 19, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5. [player_tooltip player_id='1197277' first='Trevor' last='Schneider'], Chaparral</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schneider ran for 1200 yards and 13 touchdowns for Norco last season and has since transferred to Chaparral. He lit it up on the camp circuit this year and nearly won MVP honors at the PRZ Stock Up Showcase and the National Preps Showcase. Schneider has a ton of burst and wiggle to his game and is a downhill runner who can break tackles. He runs downhill and can change direction on a dime. Schneider is an every down back and has an offer from Sacramento State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Less than 12 hours college coaches!!
