Where Each Running Back Ranks in the 2028 Louisiana Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state of Louisiana's running backs are great, especially in the class of 2028.

Not only is he ranked the No. 1 running back in the class of 2028, but he is also ranked as the No. 2 player across the state of Louisiana as a whole. If he continues the success that he has had thus far throughout his high school career, then he will continue to be ranked as highly as he is, maybe even making a push to be ranked as the top player in the state of Louisiana for the class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1375178"],"_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-6a6d5dc06adba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1375178' first='Noble' last='Williams'] is a 5'11 running back in the class of 2028 who has the chance to be a breakout star for Alexandria yet again. Williams is going to be one of the better players in the state of Louisiana. Williams is ranked No. 12 in the state of Louisiana and No. 2 at the running back position. I believe he will find himself as one of the better dual-threat running backs, catching passes, and dominating defenses. Williams will be one that I watch closely in 2026, to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263234"],"_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-6a6d5dc06ae0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Behind Noble is Kason, who is set for a massive season in 2026 with the same exact team. The two running backs are the best duo in the state of Louisiana. They will be a perfect pair among each other in my opinion, and will be needed the most when it comes to the heavy sets that they may use, and especially when it comes to the odds of needing a first down. Both are ranked within one spot of each other, and that feels fitting entering the new season, to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1618956"],"_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-6a6d5dc06ae5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1618956' first='DJ' last='Neal'] is the star of Franklin Parish High School and is continuing to show that he is deserving of a high ranking when it comes to the state of Louisiana and the running back rankings. After a successful 2025 the year of 2026 seems like a great opportunity for him to find his true footing in high school and rise in the rankings. He is one that I am watching closely, as he is just two spots behind the third-place sitter but could find himself all the way up to No, 1 if he has a great season. Keep an eye on Neal this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1145834"],"_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-6a6d5dc06aeb2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1145834' first='Caiden' last='Bellard'] is a firmly built running back who is pushing on the term elite.

His success so far leads many to believe that more is to come in the year 2026. He ranks as No. 17 right now and rounds out the top five when it comes to running backs in the class of 2028 in the state of Louisiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Where the others rank:<br>• [player_tooltip player_id='228925' first='Lucas' last='Owens Jr.'] (LA 33, RB 6)<br>• [player_tooltip player_id='1393848' first='Gregory' last='Williams Jr'].
