*Grab yourself a Prep Redzone annual subscription for 30% off with code Johnson30*   Running backs were hitting their stride in Week 6. No doubt about that! We have some familiar names to check in on this week and a select few new additions who weren't on our radars, but went off and are definitely there now. We have representation from nearly every size school in the state this week too and of course every athlete in our weekly recap article is currently uncommitted. So coaches make sure to check out their tape for yourselves. Let's dive in and check out some freakish rushing performances!    Stat Line: 7 Carries, 119 Yards, 2 TDs, 1 Reception, 18 Yards   This kid is a monster. Plain and simple. He turned 9 touches into two scores on offense and proves over and over how much of a natural athlete he is at 6'1" 230 lbs. Aidan is surprisingly fluid through traffic. He can get skinny through gaps and has some wiggle to him that he can use to make defenders miss. He seems to have natural hands and has strong vision with the ball in his hands. Of course that massive frame comes with plenty of power to run through tackles and he puts a lot of pressure on the defense to make sure they are swarming and pursuing every snap or Aidan will make them pay. This kid is a versatile athlete. The small school product is a game changer.      Stat Line: 27 Carries, 213 Yards, 1 TD   [player_tooltip player_id='1626583' first='Tayecin' last='Jimmerson'] out of West Bend West has really been growing on me since I watched him play live a couple weeks ago. The junior has a powerful frame at 5'11" 195 lbs and his style of play revolves around it. The '28 RB seems to get better the more he touches the ball. His lower body is so strong and provides him with a great center of gravity that keeps him churning those legs while defenders fall off him. He is able to get a head of steam going quickly too, hitting the hole ready to dish out punishment to would be tacklers. Jimmerson is an RB who can handle a big workload and wear down a defense. Dive into the highlights.      Stat Line: 10 Carries, 163 Yards, 2 TDs   Honestly you could include Daxter in these recap articles every single week. The Grantsburg RB/LB is a consistent high performer with legitimate tools for the next level. This week we focus on his explosive play at RB where he dominated with just 10 touches. The 6'1" 200 lbs athlete jumps off the screen when he has the ball. His cuts are so powerful, allowing him to be very sudden with that 200 lbs frame. His vision through traffic helps him to find ways into the open field and from there it is a nightmare for DBs to try and wrangle him down. Schultz runs with so much power naturally, ripping through arm tackles unfazed. The do it all athlete will be a massive steal for a program.      Stat Line: 17 Carries, 131 Yards, 2 TDs   Wow Michael has made huge strides since 2025. The 5'9" 190 lbs RB is an impressive athlete playing with a great blend of explosive athleticism and power. Right from the start of the highlights you see his explosive jukes and jump cuts teleporting him to green grass. At the same time we see those runs end with him running extremely angry and with next level contact balance. From there we see a great example of patience and then acceleration through the hole, again ending with a great look at his power through the finish. I love this kid's motor and competitive drive. Get him on your radars. He is going to be a riser for us.      Stat Line: 14 Carries, 273 Yards, 3 TDs   The junior RB out of Oregon put another great performance under his belt in Week 6. The 5'10" 190 lbs athlete took over the game starting the highlights with a great display of his speed on one of his TDs. TD #2 shows off the quickness through the hole and again the top end speed to easily pull away. After that we see examples of his willingness to run violent and finish carries with physicality. The highlights end with a great example of his ability to make defenders miss 1 on 1 between the tackles and turn those plays into huge chunk plays. This kid is developing very well and is one to keep an eye on.      Stat Line: 15 Carries, 152 Yards, 1 TD   Senior RB [player_tooltip player_id='2145707' first='Conner' last='Mckenna'] is coming off a great Week 6 performance. Play 1 on his highlights is an impressive one. He hits the hole quick and makes an explosive cut that left the defender grabbing at air. The we see a carry where he again makes defenders take bad angles with his last second jukes. Once he gets those angles Conner is able to run through those arm tackles. It is not very often that we see an RB Conner's size be able to produce like him between the tackles. Definitely someone for the WIAC and other D3 schools to take a look at.      Stat Line: 18 Carries, 165 Yards, 2 TDs   Carson is really starting to hit his stride for Monona Grove. The 6'1" 195 lbs went off vs Sun Prairie East in a big Week 6 win. The way he can carry the ball at his impressive size is hard to find. That first carry on his highlights we see him cut right and leave a defender flying past him tackling air before cutting up field for the score. The range on his lateral cuts jump off the tape every time he hits one. Once he finds the open field the junior RB shows off the speed that has caught our eyes going back to summer camps. Every carry seemed to show his athleticism, elusiveness, and explosive lower body. Carson is getting better and better. The 2028 RB has a very high ceiling.      Stat Line: 17 Carries, 156 Yards, 1 TD   Ashton put together a great night at FB in Week 6 for Hartford. The 6'2" 215 lbs senior is a force as a lead blocker, erasing LBs out of gaps and clearing the way for his RB. As a ball carrier the big man was a monster running behind his pads and churning his legs through contact. The senior was able to keep his legs and gather himself from some wild angles and then pick up some huge chunks. Ashton is at his best working between the tackles, picking through traffic, and then lowering his shoulder and creating yards if the gap wasn't open. Ashton is a legitimate FB prospect with size and power.
