On offense, he played running back and moved all over the field. He played as both a running back and a wing-back. As a running back, he showed good running ability. Then, as a wing-back, he was good on the edge. He showed a good ability to block on the edge. He also caught the ball well. Then, as a cornerback, he showed good skills. Daniel Boone struggled on the field last season, but Ruffner was one of the bright spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2112288"],"_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-6a7fc553babc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manki Williams is a good running back with excellent speed. He is especially good as a running back on outside run plays. He has the speed and elusive ability to make defenders miss. He also shows a good ability to run through contact. Defenders struggle to tackle him. He runs through arm tackles easily. He was also used as a slot receiver and was good at coming in motion and running jet sweep well. Williams is a highly skilled running back in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore season highlights <a href="https://t.co/SrSnRuY41J">pic.twitter.com/SrSnRuY41J</a></p>&mdash; Mahki williams (@mahkiwilliams28) <a href="https://x.com/mahkiwilliams28/status/2005852882201870512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489223"],"_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-6a7fc553bac3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='489223' first='Kaius' last='Pagan'] has limited film, and it is from Junior Varsity. He shows a good ability to run the ball. He has legit speed, and when he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. He also shows a good ability to make defenders miss in the open field. Pagan is a highly skilled athlete. Pagan is not projected to start for Lancaster Catholic, but he should get on the field this season. I expect him to make an impact this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Highlights from my game this past week#22.<a href="https://x.com/hashtag/FootballLife?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FootballLife</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/FootballSeason?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FootballSeason</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/FootballHighlights?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FootballHighlights</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/LSU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LSU</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Alabama?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Alabama</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Clemson?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Clemson</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/footballfix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#footballfix</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Runningback?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Runningback</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/D1Nation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#D1Nation</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/D1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#D1</a> <a href="https://t.co/6YUHX9euHh">pic.twitter.com/6YUHX9euHh</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='489223' first='Kaius' last='Pagan'] (@KaiusP22) <a href="https://x.com/KaiusP22/status/1967054182336381153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2333303,"_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-6a7fc553bac95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2333303' first='Jordan' last='Myers'] is a good running back.

Also, in his film, you see quickness in his running ability. He shows a burst that allows him to separate from defenders as a runner.

He is a speed merchant who can score anytime he touches the ball. His speed and ability to make defenders miss in the open field are special. He has genuine elite speed. The other impressive part of his game is his physical running style. He is hard to bring down when he runs between the tackles. Between his speed and his physical running style, you have an elite running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore Season Highlights<br><br>Proud to be apart of such a great team this year and make it to state finals.
