Sturgis is a productive back from a year ago who played himself into our top 50. He is a smaller, lean scat back with impressive space skills. His initial speed is impressive and sets the stage here, allowing him to quickly occupy space and beat defenders to a point. GPS speeds are reporting over 22 MPH here, which makes sense.

“Sturgis thrives off his speed. He’s a tough back to stop in the open field. Once he really gets moving, he can use his speed and change of direction skills to easily outrun and evade any defender in pursuit.

On top of that, Sturgis is great at withstanding contact. He can take some big hits and keep moving. It’s really impressive seeing how physical a runner he is. His combination of speed and physicality is going to take him far- watch out this upcoming season.”

Sturgis had an impressive freshman campaign and put together some impressive tape along the way. If you haven’t watched him already, be sure to take a look below. He has a big sophomore season ahead.

Anthony Sturgis Anthony Sturgis 5'9" | 160 lbs | RB/ATH Alma Bryant | 2029 State AL is an explosive RB from Alma Bryant who made some really impressive plays on the ground last year.

“Sturgis is an explosive threat out of the backfield. His speed, acceleration, and vision allow him to consistently break off huge runs on the ground both inside and outside of the tackles. I really love seeing how well he follows his blockers; he’s patient, waits for the perfect time to strike, and consistently capitalizes greatly on those rushing lanes.

As soon as Sturgis gets past the line of scrimmage, good luck stopping him. He has top-end speed that completely separates him from every defender on the field. I really am looking forward to watching this kid next season. He’s a super impressive weapon for this Alma Bryant offense.“

Sturgis had a terrific start to his career last fall, recording 113 carries for 582 yards and 8 TDs on the ground.

I’ve quickly become a fan of Sturgis. He’s a really fun and talented back to watch, make sure you see for yourself below:
