Western Pennsylvania Running Backs: 2021 Class
Alex Christo
Here is a look at the 2021 running back class from Western Pennsylvania.
[player_tooltip player_id="27202" first="Josh" last="Hough"], Running Back 6’1 245 – Beaver Falls HS
Junior Season Analysis: Josh has great size for a running back. Shows quickness and good vision. Physical kid will run you over. For his size, he has pretty good speed. Overall, Josh is a really good player. He is the number one running back out of PA. He is committed to Syracuse.
[player_tooltip player_id="27348" first="Eddy" last="Tillman"], Running Back 5’8 165 – Central Catholic
Junior Season Analysis: Eddy looks to be really small. Shows to be quicker than fast but has okay speed. He is a smooth runner. Shows good balance. Had a productive junior season, with 2,064 yards and 26 touchdowns. I think Eddy could be a really good D-II player, but if he produces as well if not better in his senior year, even though he is undersized, I would not be surprised if an FCS school takes a chance on him.
[player_tooltip player_id="27362" first="Taelen" last="Brooks"], Running Back 6’1 180 – Woodland Hills HS
Junior Season Analysis: Taelen has good size, but think he needs to bulk up. He has some quickness. Shows good vision. He shows average balance. Talen is a good player. I think he will be an FCS or D-II player.
ShiNiell Thomas, Running Back 5’10 170 – Laurel Highlands HS
Junior Season Analysis: ShiNeal has decent size. He shows quickness but lacks overall speed. Has ability to catch out of the backfield. He has good balance. Shiniell is a good player, could possibly see him going D-II.
[player_tooltip player_id="27372" first="Curtis" last="Foskey"], Running Back 5’9 192 – North Hills HS
Junior Season Analysis: Curtis is undersized but has a thick body. Lacks quickness and speed. He is more of a power back. Shows pretty good balance. Overall, Curtis is a decent player, who I think would be a D-III player.
