Next is Al-Naiquan Boseman Al-Naiquan Boseman 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Carteret | 2027 State NJ , a running back who separates himself with pure burst. At 5’10”, 185 pounds, he runs with the build of a forward-moving back but explodes like a smaller, quicker runner.
Immediately, his acceleration jumps off the tape. Whether he lines up at running back or takes snaps at wildcat quarterback, Boseman sees the hole and attacks it with urgency. He doesn’t hesitate. Instead, he hits creases with violence, speed, and intent, making his burst one of the best in the 2027 class.
At the same time, he adds an element of elusiveness to his power. For a back of his size, Boseman carries an impressive move set. He spins out of contact, strings together jukes in space, and finishes runs with a stiff arm when defenders square him up. That combination makes him difficult to bring down at any level.
Most importantly, Carteret trusts him in big moments. He consistently delivers when the game tightens. As he heads into his senior season with an expanded workload, Boseman is positioned to further cement himself as one of the most reliable and explosive running backs in the 2027 class.

In my opinion, Carteret has been home to several slept on athletes in recent years. That said, I try my best to make the state aware of the talent in this little town off of the Turnpike. Al-Naiquan Boseman Al-Naiquan Boseman 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Carteret | 2027 State NJ is the next name I will add to this list. Boseman gets to top speed very quickly, allowing himself to make something out of nothing. His vision and explosiveness has put him in the backfield as the wildcat at moments; however, he is not just a mere speed and finesse-type player. Boseman is also used as a lead blocker and puts his absolute everything into blocking for his teammates – looking to light up and level opponents and spring big plays in the process. I felt as though Boseman runs his track as to a T a ball carrier and does not deviate from him, only really showing cutback vision once he gets through the hole. In space he is rather nimble, jump cutting and side stepping defenders to create for himself. This said, I thought that he carried the ball a bit too low for my liking and I am curious to know what he runs in the 40-yard dash. Listed at 185 pounds, should his running time be on-point, Boseman is going to be a total steal of a college prospect.
