<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These under-the-radar running backs are running wild to start the 2025 season...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1851933"],"_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-68ac6b5619400"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After a slow week one, this Mill Creek senior ran wild during Mill Creek's tough loss to Norcross. He showed natural speed, burst, and a shifty running style as he took off for 203 total yards on the ground with two touchdowns. He brings good size and can be physical when he needs to be at 5-foot-10 185-pounds. He shows good vision, quick feet, and explosiveness when given some space. He's bound for a giant final season and will be an easy addition to the 2026 Prep Redzone rankings. Don't be surprised if he's one of the top rushers in the region and across Gwinnett County for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1852170"],"_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-68ac6b56194ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small-town back from Sandersville having a strong start to his senior season, Saint is a sleeper ball-carrier who has rushed for 100 yards in each of his first two games of the season. The crafty, productive back ran for 101 yards and one touchdown in week one against Jeff Davis. In week two, Saint took off for 112 yards and another touchdown against Jefferson County to go along with a two-point conversion. He runs hard, can pick up yards after contact, and talented enough to have a really strong senior season. He's a 2026 back to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1852176"],"_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-68ac6b5619502"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive backs all across Georgia, Bazarsky is a private-school back who has been running wild to start the 2025 season. An athletic back with good footwork, toughness, speed, and versatility, Bazarsky shined in week one against Providence Christian where he ran for 211 yards and two touchdowns. He was just as impressive in week two, rushing for 261 yards and five touchdowns, giving him one of the best rushing performances of any back across the state. He also added 50 receiving yards and 25 return yards. He's on his way to a historic season and will hope to lead the Eagles to a deep playoff run this fall. He's a do-it-all back who should continue lighting up the stat sheet over the next two months. </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-68ac6b561954a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the state's leading rushers through the first two weeks, Hollingsworth was a touchdown machine in week two, rushing for five touchdowns and 275 yards during a big win over Mount Vernon. He showed terrific change of direction, elusiveness, and breakaway speed in the open field. He's a slipper back who runs with balance and has a lean frame that should allow him to keep adding more muscle. Through his first two games, the Atlanta native has rushed foe 390 yards and five touchdowns. He's one of the more underrated backs in the city but has a chance to be one of the most productive by the end of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577623"],"_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-68ac6b5619597"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A two-way standout who was the best player on the field in week two against Marietta, Davis is coming off a tremendous week two game against the Blue Devils where he rushed for 232 yards with 69 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He also made play after play on defense, making seven tackles, 2.5 TFLs and one INT. He was a consistent playmaker who showed the ability to make defenders miss with the ball in his hands. He plays hard, he runs really well, and has a chance to be one of the top running backs in the region and across Forsyth County in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
