2022 Unsigned Running Back Prospects to Watch

The late national signing period is fast approaching and a number of talented running backs in the state of Arkansas are still available to sign. The 2022 class has been one of the most consistent classes in terms of production that the state of Arkansas has produced over the past few years. We are going to take a look at a few of the running backs that have not signed a national letter of intent. <strong>Daryl Searcy Jr.-Joe T. Robinson-6’0” 195-Pounds</strong> The Robinson running back has done nothing but improve during his high school career. In 2021, he rushed for 1,302 yards and 16 touchdowns. However, Searcy Jr. proved that he could be a consistent receiving target as well. He hauled in 13 receptions for 269 yards and four touchdowns. He has always had a good power and speed mix and this season he was able to put it on display. Searcy Jr. is a player that has the potential to perform extremely well on Saturdays in the future. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="201997" first="Sundquist" last="Church"]-Fort Smith Northside-5’11” 200-Pounds</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="201997" first="Sundquist" last="Church"] was running back that ran with great intensity on every carry this season. Church would not be brought down by one defender and at times he would carry opposing defenders with him. Church racked up 1,281 yards and 13 touchdowns this season and has the potential to do some big things on Saturdays in the future. Church is a guy that just gets more productive as the game goes on and college scouts should take a long look at the Northside running back. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="161132" first="Kendrick" last="Carey"]-Magnolia-6’0” 175-Pounds</strong> The Magnolia running back was one of the most elusive running backs in the state of Arkansas this season. Carey is a patient running back that does a great job of allowing his rushing lane to develop. He is a dangerous running back in the open field, and he is difficult to bring down on initial contact. Meanwhile, Carey is dangerous when it comes to his work in special teams. The team that earns his commitment has a player that can in the special team’s unit as well as the offensive side of the ball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="195208" first="Koby" last="Bradley"]-Nettleton-6’0” 178-Pounds</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="195208" first="Koby" last="Bradley"] is a running back that has impressive speed. Bradley has earned 12 scholarship offers this season and is going to provide the team he signs with a running back that can do it all on all three downs. He runs with good anticipation and displays plenty of patience in allowing a rushing lane to develop. Bradley is a nightmare to bring down in the open field and he is a running back that will do well at the next level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172608" first="Jayvean" last="Dyer-Jones"]-Little Rock Christian-5’9” 190-Pounds</strong> Dyer-Jones is another central Arkansas running back that is a nightmare to bring down. He has the ability to bounce off of opposing defenders with very little effort. The Little Rock Christian running back rushed for 1,756 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. Dyer-Jones can run it between the tackles or cut it outside to rip off big chunks of yardage. He is another running back that has the potential to light opposing defenses on Saturdays in the future.
