For all the explosive weapons Seventy-First puts on the field, everything starts with Jayson Franklin Jayson Franklin 5'11" | 205 lbs | RB Seventy-First | 2026 State NC . The USF commit has been the Falcons’ most consistent offensive force, a true tone-setter who brings the perfect blend of speed, strength, efficiency, and reliability. When Franklin gets rolling, the entire offense opens up—defenses wear down, the box softens, and suddenly all those other 71st playmakers start getting one-on-one chances.

Franklin is the guy who beats a defense up first.
Then everyone else eats.

In tough matchups, the Falcons don’t hesitate—they lean on No. 2. He’s the steady heartbeat of the offense, the player who turns 2nd-and-8 into 3rd-and-2, the runner who finishes through contact, and the leader who brings a calm, veteran presence every time the ball is snapped.

And tonight carries even more weight.
This could be the final home game of his storied career.

Expect Franklin to run with purpose, with emotion, and with that extra edge great players show when the moment calls for it. He has been the standard for the Falcons’ offense for years, and if Seventy-First is going to keep their playoff run alive, Franklin will make sure this night becomes a memorable chapter in his legacy.
