Sleeper 2027 Running Backs Bound For Big Senior Seasons

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sunder the radar backs are in store for strong senior seasons...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232510"],"_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-69d5317adf95d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big, heavy back out in West Georgia who runs with authority, Mabry is a physically-imposing runner who runs hard behind his pads. For a big back at 6-foot-0 225-pounds, Mabry shows above-average quickness and change of direction. At Crisp County last season, Mabry was a consistent tackle-breaking back who did a great job of picking up yards after first contact. He falls forwards at the end of runs and is in store for a strong final season in 2026 for Carver. He's one of the more underrated backs in the area who will be tough to tackle all season long as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885985"],"_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-69d5317adf9d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tough, physical runner in North Georgia still flying under the radar, Chancey is a powerful back who can pick up tough yards in the trenches. A good athlete and a multi-sport standout in the small town of Ellijay, Chancey is a two-way player who also shines at linebacker in addition to his role as a running back. He runs hard, can power through defenders, and breaks tackles with ease. He's one of the toughest backs to tackle in the region and is coming off an impactful junior season where he lit up the stat sheet with 1,068 yards and 19 touchdowns, averaging 6.6 yards per rush and 97 yards per carry. He's bound for an even bigger senior season and will be added to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2166920"],"_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-69d7c6fa23f9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another powerful, tackle-breaking back flying under the radar, Cannon is a physical, between the tackles back who runs hard and can carry defenders with him down the field. If hw's not wrapped up properly, he's not going down to the ground. He can line up at fullback and is a great option in short-yardage situations. At 6-foot-0 180-pounds, he runs like someone who is 200+ pounds and he's one of the top returning backs in the region after rushing for an impressive 934 yards and 8 TDs as a junior last year. Look for Cannon to lead the Dublin rushing attack as a senior in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2138179"],"_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-69d7c6fa240a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top sleeper running backs in Middle Georgia, Banks is a heavy back who runs with balance and authority at 5-foot-10 205-pounds. He runs behind his pads and doesn't mind running through defenders who get in his way. He's one of the top returning backs in the region after a really impressive 2025 season where he ran for 724 yards and 18 touchdowns. He averaged 80 rushing yards a game and an impressive 7.8 yards per game. Look for Banks to be one of the region's more productive backs next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2166944"],"_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-69d7c6fa242c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy, shifty back who deserves more recognition, Paggett is an elusive back with impressive quickness and vision. He brings explosiveness to the offense while also making plays on defense in the secondary. He's major weapon on offense and one of the top returning two-way players and running backs in the region. Paggett rushed for 700 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry along the way. He rushed for at least 100 yards in two games and could expand on that total next fall as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
