Connor finished out the season strong last year with just over 1,000 yards rushing on 128 carries. He has tremendous top-end speed. He can hash open holes with his speed and agility and beat everyone to the end zone. I really like this running back, his size and athleticism are next levels. Should put some eye-popping performances and numbers this season.

Jarvis Newton Jarvis Newton 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Alexandria | 2022 State LA | 5’11″ 190 lbs | RB | Alexandria
Jarvis is a violent runner in between the tackles and one who can beat everyone to the house. He’s got dangerous speed. The guy looks like an attack star out there on the gridiron. He’s not bad on special teams returning kicks either and that’s a severe understatement to his ability to return kicks. He’s an athlete and one who could pass a few on our rankings this coming up season.

Jordan Thomas Jordan Thomas 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Brother Martin | 2022 State LA | 5’10″ 190 lbs | RB | Brother Martin
Brother Martin running back some jets he can turn on out of the backfield and he off to the races. He’s one of those backs who can play in a spread type of offense, slash through the open holes. Make a few cuts and then put up six on the scoreboard. I really like this running back and the senior class of 2022 is loaded and this prospect can be mentioned with those high on our list.
Taelon Nicholas Taelon Nicholas 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Catholic (Baton Rouge) | 2022 State LA | 5’10″ 190 lbs | RB | Catholic (Baton Rouge)
The Catholic star running back will definitely rack up a lot of yards and touchdowns this season he’s got an elite ability to spin out of tackles or break arm tackles. He’s dangerous ya’ll and thus man deserves the spotlight and some offers this season. Nicholas is definitely an FBS prospect with a high ceiling for success in college.

Well first off Jotavious has tremendous size for the running back position. This is really special for a guy who can move as well as he does and be that size. He’s a back that checks off all of the boxes. He’s got the size, speed, and talent. College coaches if you don’t know, you will know this guy’s name before too long. I think he could be very special at the next level and pass everybody on this list this season as one of the biggest possible ranking risers.
