Mangrum has been nearly unstoppable this season, leading all of 4A with 1,579 rushing yards on just 124 carries. His 24 rushing touchdowns are a testament to his vision, balance and ability to break away once he finds daylight. A Division I caliber athlete, Mangrum's versatility shows in the passing game as well, where he's added seven receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He's a complete offensive weapon capable of carrying a team deep into the postseason. Defenders have struggled to contain his burst and power combination, making him one of the toughest players in the state to game plan for. His continued dominance has solidified him as one of Colorado's premier offensive threats for the 2027 class.     Clarvoe is a name that has exploded onto the 4A scene this fall. The standout freshman has already rushed for 1,231 yards and 13 touchdowns, showing poise and maturity beyond his age. His impact goes beyond the offensive backfield, as he's also made big plays in the return game, demonstrating dynamic athleticism and field awareness. Clarvoe's balance and acceleration through contact make him a nightmare for defenders trying to bring him down. With his production and ability to take over games, he's quickly establishing himself as one of the state's most exciting young players. If he continues on this trajectory, Clarvoe will be a nationally recruited name before long and a force in Colorado football for years to come.     Thenell has been the definition of versatility for Golden this season. With 1,111 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground, he's proven to be a workhorse capable of shouldering the offensive load. His impact doesn't stop there, Thenell has added 21 receptions for 313 yards and two more scores through the air, including an explosive 95 yard touchdown. His combination of speed, agility and hands out of the backfield makes him one of the toughest players to match up against. Thenell's ability to flip a game and be an explosive play waiting to happen has made him a name to know for college scouts. Expect him to be a centerpiece as his team looks to finish strong and make noise in the postseason.     Even on a team facing its share of struggles, Foot has been a consistent bright spot. The dynamic runner has piled up 1,026 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, displaying excellent field vision and breakaway speed. Foot's ability to accelerate through holes and turn minimal space into big gains makes him one of the more underrated backs in the classification. He's the type of player who maximizes every carry, keeping defenses honest and giving his offense life in critical moments of the game. While Longmont may not be playoff bound this year, Foot's performances have earned him attention from scouts and respect across 4A. He's a name that should be on every radar moving into next season.     Explosiveness is the word that defines Payne. With 1,011 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns this season, Payne has become one of 4A's most dangerous homerun threats. His top end speed allows him to take the edge on defenders and turn routine runs into highlight worthy plays. Payne is beginning to develop as a receiving option, which will only elevate his stock even further. Defenses have struggled to contain his acceleration in open space and his ability to flip field position in a single carry makes him a go to player in this offense. Payne's production and athletic traits make him a prime breakout candidate on the recruiting trail heading into the offseason.
