Nesbitt showed he’s more than just a shifty back in this one, piling up 197 total yards and a touchdown while putting constant stress on Red Mountain’s defense. Already known for his track speed and agility, he’s clearly added strength to his game, breaking through arm tackles and bouncing off defenders in ways he didn’t a year ago. That combination of burst and power made him a nightmare to contain, whether it was on one‑cut runs, screens, or angle routes out of the backfield. Every time he touched the ball he looked like a threat to take it the distance, flipping field position and forcing lighter boxes just by being out there. It’s the kind of performance that makes you want to design an offense around him and highlights just how much work he’s put in since last season. 

Nesbit is a big play threat with the ability to be a difference maker from anywhere on the field, but made most of his noise at RB. Excellent top end speed as he’s so dangerous once he gets into space, showcasing excellent change of direction with a burst out of every cut to set himself up for a house call. Very good vision as he does a great job seeing and reacting to those narrow lanes or cutback lanes and explodes through them with authority.

Nesbit looked bigger in person than I expected and showed some wiggle during the open field drill with the linebackers. He has some burst and doesn’t waste steps when dodging defenders.

The other half of ALA Queen Creek’s dominant ground game, Bobby Nesbit Bobby Nesbit 5'10" | 185 lbs | ATH/RB ALA-Queen Creek | 2026 State AZ is a real burner on the football field. He’s got great speed that allows him to attack the smallest of seams and make defenses pay. He used his speed and nimbleness to become a true asset in the passing game as well.
