A fantastic running back with not many flaws to his game. The 5-foot-11, 195 pounds running back has a muscled frame which makes him hard to stop him once he’s rolling. This season he rushed for 1,369 yards and 17 TDs. He averages 124 yards a game and almost 13 yards a carry. Those are video game numbers. He has that IT factor that can’t be coached. His first three years of his high school career he surpassed over 5,800 yards and 72 rushing touchdowns. Haynes has phenomenal run contact balance which makes him hard to tackle. He shows good vision and is very decisive as a runner. He’s a very productive running back with a high floor.
The 6-foot 210 pounds baller is a GROWN MAN!! With his built frame and contact balance, it’s hard to tackle him. In the open field he is very elusive and have great open field vision. He makes defenders look silly. He shows impressive lateral agility, start/stop agility and overall, he’s a very fluid runner. Louie rushed for 1,461 yards and 13 TDs. Having the ability to catch the ball like a receiver will set him apart from his peers. In the pass game he caught 34 balls, 524 yards and 3 TDs.
Walton’s High School standout Junior running back is an absolute beast. Bodiford stands 6-foot tall and weighs in at 205 pounds. Bodiford is a playmaker; with his quickness and speed he has the ability to make the first person miss. This season he rushed for 1,110 yards and 15 TDs. He displays toughness at the end of his runs, proving that he does not shy away from contact. He shows great patience and lateral movement to set up his blocks to gain positive yards. Because of his size, he is impressively fast as you can see him separating from defenders on long runs. This kid has a bright future.
Parkview High School young star has proved to be in our top 5 list. Spain put on a show in the last 3 games with rushing for 671 yards and 9 TDs. By rushing for 1,736 yards and 13 TD’s this season, he put himself on the map and I don’t see him coming off of it any time soon. Standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing in at 190 pounds, Spain has a thick lower half. This makes him hard to tackle. Combined with his vision and footwork, it’s no wonder he often finds daylight.
