Yet another recruiting cycle with a Deer River prospect on the Big Board. The Greater Minnesota, Itasca County, and northern MN small school 2028 is quite the electric tailback and ball carrier amongst the MN junior class. Isaacs just went off for 30 rushes for 171 yards and 2 TD rushing performance in the win over Barnum, not to mention five tackles in the 22-16 win.

Isaacs is a long, sleek, jittery ball carrier who plays with good angles, sets up defenders well, and uses every inch of the gridiron’s width to his advance. The junior is electric and elusive in space with good vision, can see space before it materializes and has the burst and speed to really stab defenses when given a seam, and owns great balance. He can accelerate and get back up to top speed impressively from a dead stop, owns the top-end speed that blows by defenders and their pursuit angles, and he seems to slide off and work through weaker tackle attempts at his lower body. Very impressive contact balance for the size and age. Isaacs puts defenders on skates in the open field and accelerates and can shift into another gear or power and burst if the situation calls for it. He also put a huge stick on a Chisholm pass catcher over the middle on a slant. Really rocked the pass catcher and put him on his keister in physical and emphatic fashion. Also made a nice interception on a 50/50 ball that showed off some ball skills. Isaacs even owns a good stiff arm and uses his weapon when given the opportunity and demonstrates homerun speed that can break open a defense on any given carry. This kid is going to make some recruiting waves, we can feel it!
