is an extremely effective back out of the Bears backfield and he showcases a lot once the ball is in his hands. He has great vision and bursts to hit the hole at the line of scrimmage. He is a break away back who can get bulk yards and he is one you will want to look for on Friday in this huge playoff match!
An electric running back from Middle Georgia with breakaway speed, Stinson is a big-play waiting to happen who can hide behind blocks and burst through a hole when given a chance to run through it. He’s elusive, changes directions quickly, and runs with impressive balance. He shows quick feet, impressive vision, and opened plenty of eyes last year as he ran for 956 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was an easy addition to the 2027 Prep Redzone rankings and is likely bound for a giant junior season later this year.
A speedy, electric back from Middle Georgia, Stinson’s natural speed was on full display all season long, flying through defenses on a weekly basis. He shows vision, burst, and the ability to score anytime he has the ball. The smaller, explosive back ran for an impressive 910 yards this fall as a sophomore with 10 touchdowns. He ran better and better as the season went on, rushing for 100+ yards in two of his final three games of the season. He’ll have a new ranking in the 2027 rankings after an outstanding 2024 season.

is a pretty low-key recruit, but he could pick up some recruiting buzz this offseason, regardless of his smaller stature. Stinson is another sub-11-second runner with the bounce to weave in and out of running lanes. He runs hard to out-angle defenders to the sidelines and to explode through openings. He is a featherweight runner, but he plays with good contact balance and can dodge defenders around their feet. Stinson is a TD threat when he finds space, and he is also a capable receiver out of the backfield. He is simply an elite playmaker and has plenty of time to get bigger.
National watchlist player who shines at cornerback. His instincts are very solid at this age. So much so, young quarterbacks have been baited by Austin to make a routine throw that ends up in a pick. If given an open field you might as well call it a pick 6 because he has the fastest man type speed. I also highly suggest that you don’t assume he’s an undersize cover DB at 5’7. His agility is off the charts and he can climb the ladder on a 6 foot plus receiver to contest the deep ball. In conclusion, let’s just all agree that this athlete is a playmaker and it’s in the offensive coordinators best interest to know what side he is on.
