PRZCJ 2026 Team Watch List: RBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are the 7 RB prospects I currently have on the watch list for my PRZCJ 2026 team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1219680"],"_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-68cda93565295"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rajecki's rapid growth on the recruiting scene started with a prolific junior season, and he has only built off of that during his senior season. Rajecki is well-built at 5'11 195 and still has some room to add more weight. His short-area quickness is elite, playing light on his feet and making subtle shuffles around traffic to create his own yards. He has the speed to lift off and separate when given a lane. He is physical, and that part of his game will only improve as his pad level comes down. Rajecki is currently committed to Memphis, which is starting to look like one of the steals of the 2026 class in Georgia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201831"],"_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-68cda93565373"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1201831' first='Xavier' last='Rucker'] has been one of my favorites in GA's 2026 class for some time now. He is a productive back all the way around and is one of the more juiced-up prospects at the position in the state. He can go over you, through you, around you, or just burn right by you. He is capable of contributing downfield as a receiver as well. Rucker plays with a low center of gravity and is built into his frame with impressive physique and muscle, and still has room to add to his lower body. He reminds me of Jarquez Hunter, profiling extremely similar. He will likely need some seasoning before he's ready to contribute at the next level, but you can't argue against the playmaking skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1184989"],"_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-68cda9356541c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here is my most recent write-up on Parry, a popular prospect for us here on Prep Redzone:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184989' first='Darron' last='Parry']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/darron-parry/"></a> is a familiar name to me and a multi-year playmaker for North Forsyth. I have long been a big fan of how he runs. He built compactly into his 5'8 185 frame, is explosive, and runs hard. His contact balance is the most impressive part of his game, showing the ability to power through wrists and restart runs when he gets knocked off balance. Parry is a D1 rusher, and his recruitment path could give some in-state small schools in Georgia access."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577115"],"_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-68cda935654bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speed translates, and [player_tooltip player_id='1577115' first='Nolan' last='Matthews'] absolutely checks that box, despite being a vastly underrated prospect. He has my attention, though. Here is my most recent write-up:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1577115' first='Nolan' last='Matthews']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/nolan-matthews/"></a> has been a hidden gem in northeast Georgia despite production and ridiculous speed metrics. He has been clocked on the GPS as high as 25 (!) MPH. If that isn't reliable enough for you, he also PR'd at 10.91 in the 100M. You can't argue against his speed, which shows up on tape. If given a lane to the endzone, he will hit it and outrun angles. He is a straight-line burner who doesn't peel off his path. He has a sturdy frame and is willing to take on contact. Matthews should fall into the lap of a small school that doesn't often get access to his caliber of speed."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577125"],"_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-68cda9356555f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hollingsworth is off to an explosive start to his senior season. He caught my eye last offseason. Here is my most recent write up from week 2 of this season:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1577125' first='Mason' last='Hollingsworth']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/mason-hollingsworth/"></a> exploded in week 2 with 21-276-5 in just 3 quarters of work. Hollingsworth is a tall, lean, leggy prospect with a lot of body left to grow into. He is built more like a receiver or corner than an RB. His vision is impressive and relies on subtle shifts into new running lanes to create his own yards. He isn't a bruiser, but he is slippery and squeaks out of tackling attempts. I love the upside here, and his explosion last week should have grabbed the attention of college coaches."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910352"],"_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-68cda93565600"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While [player_tooltip player_id='910352' first='Devon' last='Caldwell']'s shorter frame and smaller stature are ultimately why some big schools aren't heavily involved here, he is still committed to Mercer, and it's hard to argue against what he puts on tape. He is explosive, twitchy, and has blazing breakaway speed to separate. He runs hard as well, which is what you need to do at his size to make a difference. Caldwell's traits and running style should translate well to Mercer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506551"],"_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-68cda935656a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1506551' first='Marty' last='Myricks'] is one of my favorite 2026 RBs in Alabama, and the rest of our Alabama scouts agree. His athletic traits are adequate, and his size checks the required boxes, but it's his running style that really sticks out to me. He is patient, squeezes his blocks, and masterfully pieces his way around contact. Given that style, his traits complement him well. He is a D1 graded RB, and I am eager to see where he ends up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
