Marty Myricks Marty Myricks 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Oak Mountain | 2026 State AL is one of my favorite 2026 RBs in Alabama, and the rest of our Alabama scouts agree. His athletic traits are adequate, and his size checks the required boxes, but it’s his running style that really sticks out to me. He is patient, squeezes his blocks, and masterfully pieces his way around contact. Given that style, his traits complement him well. He is a D1 graded RB, and I am eager to see where he ends up.

Marty Myricks Marty Myricks 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Oak Mountain | 2026 State AL is a talented back out of Oak Mountain who’s been great on the ground so far this season.
“Myricks is a complete back who plays with a ton of speed and twitch to make defenders miss in the open field. It’s really impressive watching him navigate the field. He does a great job seeing the field, finding rushing lanes, and following his blockers to maximize every carry.
Myricks is just as reliable a pass catcher- he has great hands, can secure passes through contact, and has the YAC skills to evade and find tons of extra yards after the catch.“
Myricks came up huge last week in Oak Mountain’s 30-29 win over Pelham, racking up 152 rushing yards (170 all-purpose). I’m a big fan of Oak Mountain this season and think Myricks could end up as one of the leading rushers in the state.
Check out what he did last week:

Marty Myricks Marty Myricks 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Oak Mountain | 2026 State AL is a breakout RB in Alabama this fall and has raised his stock another level after the first few weeks. He comes in at 5’11 185, built proportionally and athletically. Can’t find verified speed, but he is a suddenness-based runner anyway.
Myricks plays with excellent patience. He gets his shoulders squared and allows his blockers to clean up in the gaps as he waits. His vision is extremely impressive, consistently locating cut-back lanes and evading traffic when he gets into the open field. He isn’t a thumper, but keeps his shoulders squared and runs with good contact balance. Myricks has effortless change of direction and footwork, dodging tacklers in the open field. He showcases short bursts of explosiveness, allowing him to squeeze away from defenses and make subtle cuts.
Showed enough evidence on tape to prove he can be a capable pass catcher out of the backfield. Looked over his shoulder to reel in a wheel route while taking on contact. I am a big fan of Myricks game and it’s a matter of time before college coaches jump all over him.
