Top Running Back Taking Talents to Auburn

East St. Louis 2027 elite running back Myson Johnson-Cook Myson Johnson-Cook 6'2" | 200 lbs | RB East St. Louis | 2027 State IL has announced his commitment to Auburn over Kentucky, LSU, Miami, and Ole Miss!

MSJ started his career in Decatur, then dominated Texas high school football as a sophomore, and moved to East St. Louis where he was an absolute terror to opposing defenses.  He is the closest thing to Adrian Peterson I have seen at the high school level with his size, strength, and easy speed!

He is a massive back that runs with a straight up style reminiscent to the former Oklahoma All-American and soon to be Hall of Famer.  He is a powerful back that can run over guys with ease along with running away from them.  His speed is deceptive, but when you are on the field you can see how he is blowing past defenders.  As a junior he had 1,341 yards on just 126 carries for a 10.6 average per carry along with 21 touchdowns.  That is with two other legit college backs splitting carries with him.

Truly special talent that has all the physical and athletic gifts you could ask for in a prospect.  This is the type of player who makes an impact on Day 1 in the SEC and has NFL first round type talent!
