Buried on the Depth Chart, Built for Stardom: 2028 RBs to Know

Phillips measures in at 5'9 210-pounds and is part of the talented running back stable at Chery Creek. This past season, he had 39 carries for 324 yards with 1 touchdown. Phillips is a bruising power back runner. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, balance, and good change of direction. Very good vision to diagnose his way through a defense. Picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. Very good inside running with good outside running. Phillips consistently gains yards after contact. He bounces off defenders with ease, runs right through them, or uses his powerful stiff arm to gain more yards. Very good trucking as well. I can't wait see Phillips in an extended role going into next season! I love the way he runs, and colleges need to take a look at his film.     Ingelhart measures in at 5'10 180-pounds, playing RB and MLB for Glenwood Springs. He had 61 carries for 338 yards with 3 touchdowns, 32 total tackles (16 solo, 16 assisted), 3 TFL, 1 sack, 1 QB pressure, 1 PD, and 1 blocked field goal. He also got kicking and punting duties. 35 punts for 1179 yards, getting inside the 20 6 times, 16/20 on PATs, and 2/4 on FGs, longest being 25 yards. As you can tell, he's a very versatile prospect. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, acceleration, and good change of direction. Very good vision and inside running. Ingelhart does a great job of regaining composure as he starts to stumble. Defenders bounce off him, or he uses his home run speed ability to blaze past the 2nd and 3rd level defenders. On defensive, he has good tackling and good read and reaction speed. He has good leg strength and leg accuracy as a special teamer. His versatility should appeal to college scouts, like it has me.     Ridenour measures in at 5'9 175-pounds. The RB/OLB carried the ball 78 times for 290 yards, with 9 receptions for 91 yards, paired with 23 total tackles (20 solo, 3 assisted), and 2 TFL. Ridenour has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and balance. Explosive start at the line of scrimmage. Good vision. Good inside running. Very good outside running. He turns the corner and is gone. Ridenour's elusiveness makes it tough for defenders to tackle him. As a receiver, he demonstrates good ball tracking and catching. Does a great job defensively as well. Very good range paired with very good tackling. He doesn't let the ball carrier get away from his grasp. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Ridenour next season!     Jaramillo is Arapahoe's secret weapon. The 5'5 150-pound scatback had 34 carries for 209 yards with 3 touchdowns, 22 receptions for 345 yards with 3 touchdowns, 8 kickoffs for 438 yards with 3 kickoff return touchdowns. Jaramillo has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, change of direction, and balance. As a runner, he has very good inside and outside running paired with very good vision. Fluid jump cuts make it look like he's gliding. Jaramillo has very good catching and good ball tracking out of the backfield and in the slot. Jaramillo has very good separation quickness and consistently gains yards after contact due to dynamic juke moves. Look out for Jaramillo to have a big season!     Newell measures in at 5'7 135-pounds. This previous season, he had 43 carries for 233 yards with 2 touchdowns, 10 total tackles (7 solo, 3 assisted), and 4 kickoff returns for 65 yards. Newell has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good speed, and balance. Good vision to find routes through the defense. Good inside running. Very good outside running. He turns the corner and uses his athletic ability to get free. Newell excels out in space. He'll juke out defenders with his jump cuts and make them miss. I'm looking forward to seeing Newell in bigger role next season.
