Hernandez makes the most of every rep he gets, and it shows in the box score – he is RB2 on Canisius and ended up with 1,000+ All-Purpose yards while being a key defender for the Catholic Champion Runner-Ups.

I saw Hernandez play in the championship game vs Iona Prep, and in a game with two FBS RBs, Hernandez was right there with both of them in the plays he was making with the ball. Hernandez shows good speed on tape; there are several reps where he is able to pull away on 30+ yard runs. I like his two-way versatility, and he produces as a returner, so although I have him ranked at RB, there is some potential to be more than that at the next level. Good athlete who is very productive even with a limited role offensively.

In the preseason, Amir Hernandez Amir Hernandez 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB/DB Canisius | 2026 State NY was a LB prospect but in this game vs the Marauders, he showed to be a complimentary back to Kimble. There were times in the game Elijah seemed to be dealing with an injury and/or fatigue. But when that happened, Canisius called Amir to run the ball and he did to the tune of 84 yards on 13 carries.
