Under Armour Next-Up Baltimore camp 1v1s Running Backs Pt. 1

<p>To finish up my camp evaluations from the Under Armour Next-Up camp in Baltimore, I'll have a two-part series on the running backs. To be honest, the running backs dominated the passing 1v1 session against the linebackers. Here is Part 1 of 2.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Note: Coleman-Bennett is now at Archbishop Carroll in Washington, D.C. I first saw him as an 8th grader, so I was already familair with his skills as a runner. He's a deceptive route-runner. Kaden used effective fakes on in-breaking routes to create immediate separation. His is very quick in space. I liked the fact that once he caught the ball and turned up field, he showed acceleration. Kaden's got that wiggle in his game and easily shook linebackers in space. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB/status/2068869363692634246?s=20 </div></figure>     <p>Out of all of the running backs that I watched, Williams was the one I probably got the most film on during 1v1's. He's one that likes to change tempo when he's running routes out out of the backfield. Williams performed multiple hesitation moves, fakes, and tempo changes to freeze linebackers during the passing 1v1's. He consistently got separation after breakds on ins, outs, angles, and go route anywhere from 2-5 yards. Only negative was one dropped pass. Solid route running on the day. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB/status/2068869801460539860?s=20 </div></figure>    <p></p>   <p></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Steelman has already proven himself as one of the top running backs in the Mid-Atlantic, with a few P4 offers to his name. On a couple of his routes, he shaked and baked the linebackers around the top of the route, leaving the defenders flat-footed as he made sharp breaks get open for the catch. Did a great job of selling routes. On one rep that was a deep, got a good look at his ability to accelerate while the ball is in the air. Thought he was explosive out of cuts on outs, angle routes and out-and ups. His all-around skills are the reason he's Virginia's No. 1 running back/athlete. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB/status/2068870370350825713?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Juelz already made a name for himself as a rusher, running for 1,884 yards and 20 touchdowns during his sophomore year. He recently picked up an offer from Penn State. Naturally, he was a mismatch for any linebacker he went against. Juelz consitently used fakes to freeze linebackes and create separation on his breaks. He was able to get clean outside releases, which also led to easie catches. There was one rep wher he showed good hands while making a contested catch. ONe of the more versatile players returning in 2026 also plays defensive back. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB/status/2068870729429356730?s=20 </div></figure>
