He is going to be a player with nothing short of great expectations entering this next season, as well as being one of the players who could debut as the top running back in the class when we do our rankings. He was by far the best in my opinion due to the amount of reps he received last season as a freshman. He averaged over 200 yards per game and also finished the season with 26 touchdowns on the ground for his program, which speaks for itself. He is one of the only running backs to accomplish this in The Boot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619161"],"_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-6a30a3e71b5d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1619161' first='Payton' last='Harris'] is a running back with plenty of potential, as he is entering this season with a massive opportunity to prove his worth. Harris also continues to show that he is a big play magnet, as he finished the season with a total of 10 touchdowns in the season, as well as over 1,000 yards for the program on the ground. This will take a massive step up in his sophomore season. Make sure to keep an eye out for [player_tooltip player_id='1619161' first='Payton' last='Harris'] this season, as he begins to show that he is a top-five running back in the state of Louisiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2229267"],"_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-6a30a3e71b629"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">St. Augustine is one of the more popular programs in the state of Louisiana for a reason, as they continue to build on what they have with the young talent that they consistently bring in. One of the players that they have is [player_tooltip player_id='2229267' first='Co'Hann' last='Davis'], who will have to be considered as the best player in the state of Louisiana as a 2029 prospect. He is by far one of the more gifted players in the state and is one that I will be keeping my eye on, to say the least. I am very excited for Davis, and he will be one of the players with the most improvement this season, in my opinion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2094273"],"_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-6a30a3e71b676"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2094273' first='Xaiden' last='Casey'] enters this list as a true underdog. He won't be the favorite to be ranked as the No. 1 running back in the state of Louisiana for the class of 2029 to begin, but don't sleep on the talent that he brings. He is an easy player to cheer for and brings the fight every time he has the ball in his hands. He will be exceptional in this upcoming season and will likely always be in the conversation when it comes to the best running back in the class for the state of Louisiana. I am putting my money on Casey to have a very solid season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2229278"],"_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-6a30a3e71b6c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2229278' first='Cayden' last='Brown'] is one of the better athletes as an overall player on this list. He is one of the players with the best frame, which could be considered, but he is also arguably the most gifted player when it comes to using his feet to his advantage. He is one of the players with the best chance to be named the top player in the state at the running back position, in my opinion. Keep an eye on the star from WCO.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There are a handful of talented players in the state of Louisiana at the running back position, including 2029 prospects, who are all fighting to be ranked at the top of the mountain. These five catch my attention the most at this moment.
