You Are Athlete Event Coverage: Running Back Notebook, Part IV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday, May 2, 2026 I was invited out by You Are Athlete to cover their annual Regional Exposure Camp for the third consecutive year. This year's event was hosted by Piscataway High School and was, in my experience, their best yet. Featuring the best crop of talent I have seen out of their events yet, it was extremely well ran and plenty of reps to be had.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are my notes for a handful of prospects at the position group I referenced in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Be sure to follow me on&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/BrendanScoutsNJ">Twitter</a>&nbsp;for the latest New Jersey high school football prospect news and not miss a beat!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["432320"],"_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-6a21820e199b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I wish I got a more detailed look at [player_tooltip player_id='432320' first='Darius' last='Denmark']. Denmark, who is ranked just in the top 150 for his class in New Jersey as an athlete, participated in this one as a running back. Not that I am trying to age myself, but Denmark's play reminded me of that Skip to my Lou, Rafer Alston type mixtape. The way he would quickly cut, change directions, and at his best, make defenders look foolish had me nearly shouting "and one!"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1513218"],"_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-6a21820e19a7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Based on physical looks alone, Jordan Bishop was an extremely well built prospect. A top 50 New Yorker, I noticed a clear and distinct burst and change of speed. Moreover, Bishop was able to win in space due to how shifty his hips were and turn a corner tightly, accelerating to finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2176907"],"_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-6a21820e19b1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making the trip down from New England was [player_tooltip player_id='2176907' first='Darren' last='Fleurimont']. The most detailed look I got of him was during 7v7. For my taste, I thought that Fleurimont ran his routes a bit too slow. If I get to see him again, I wish to see him push and threaten linebackers by running right at them before breaking and cutting off his route.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jacob Gonzalez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"CT","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a21820e19c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For my money, Jacob Gonzalez, who has yet to finish his freshman year of high school, has two options ahead of him. First, he could change his body type to play running back; or second, he should consider changing positions. Based on what I saw and if nothing changes, I do not think Gonzalez's football future is in the backfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One prospect that I evaluated, jersey #115, was not listed on the roster I was provided. He demonstrated strong shoulder fakes when he was running both his routes and when opponents were squared up. His prosect also made super hard cuts, so much so that when competing during group periods it appeared as if he was reversing field, going backside on a stretch play. It was awfully impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Are Athlete New Jersey Regional Exposure Camp Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!--
