Boyd-Buchanan | 2029
TN
might be the most underrated underclassman in the entire state simply due to the fact that he had to sit behind multiple seniors this season at Boyd-Buchanan.
However, even then he found ways to carve out a role for one of the best teams in the DII-AA classification, thriving in red zone and short yardage situations.
He has solid frame already at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds with a strong build and plus athleticism to give the young prospect a ton of upside.
He does a good job at running behind his pads and lowering his shoulder to initiate contact to break tackles at the second level of the defense and has flashed the cutting ability to kick it outside for an explosive play following the broken tackle.
He is one of the most exciting young prospects in the state of Tennessee and with a larger workload next year, that should become very evident during his sophomore season.

Boyd-Buchanan | 2029
TN
is an exciting tailback prospect that should be the next great runner under head coach Gary Rankin.
He has a great frame already, listed at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, and he uses that strong frame effectively, earning playing time as a freshman in short-yardage situations and in the red zone.
He is so much more than just a power back, however, as he has the cutting ability and athleticism to become a dynamic one-cut running back prospect as he continues to grow even more.
He is the one young prospect in the state of Tennessee that nobody is talking about and needs to be talking about right now.

Boyd-Buchanan | 2029
TN
possesses a strong and sturdy frame despite just being a freshman running back and has the athleticism to be a very intriguing tailback for the future.
Boyd Buchanan has a plethora of running backs with college interest, but the freshman has found ways to earn playing time, especially in short yardage and goal-line situations. He has been effective in the latter, rushing for four touchdowns already on the season to this point.
He has found ways to help his team win this season and should step into a large role next season, but he is already a young prospect to watch inside the state.

If his listed size holds true, McReynolds has impressive height and weight for a 2029 prospect at 6-foot and 190-pounds. A year ago he was named All-Conference in a very tough Independent Schools Conference (ISC). THis season his film speaks for itself with a number of very impressive runs where he shows off very good speed for a RB of his size. Defensively he also played Outside Linebacker and depending on how he grows, he could shine there too.
