is a big-time player on both sides of the ball for Hopewell. He is a big (6’1”) and physical player. He is also a diverse athlete who makes plays all over the field on offense. As a running back, he is tough to tackle. He is physical and packs a punch as a running back. He also catches the ball well out of the backfield. He has good moves and makes defenders miss in space after he catches the ball. Then, on defense, he is excellent as a tackler and makes plays all over the field. Rock is a talented player on both sides of the ball.
Great win! First playoff win since 2012. Can’t wait for next week!! 42-6

blew me away. His tape a freshman was stellar, and pair that with the size, this is an easy pick for me. He’s a fast, long-speed brawler who offers a little shake and shimmy to his running style. Out of the backfield, Rock runs clean routes. After the catch, Rock is physical, not afraid to drop the shoulder or run through you. Rocks a patient player and a calculated runner, always looking to make a big play to help his team. This size and athleticism combo make for a high-ceiling player. Rock has an easy FBS ceiling.

A freshman with impressive size and impressive tape to start off his career at Hopewell HS. 6’1, 215 pounds, triples as a back, wideout, and kick returner. Wouldn’t be surprised to cut on the tape and see him work at backer with his measurables.
Rock doesn’t have a mid-season tape out yet, which is a shame considering how much production he’s put forth. Not a huge deal. I chose to watch Week’s 0 and 5 to try to get a feel for the type of player Rock is. Week 0 – would open the game with a kick return for a score, says a lot that the coaching staff trusts a freshman to field kicks. Looks comfortable running out of I-formation sets. Patient, can read his lead blockers on the go and hit the gas when he needs too. A bigger back, but he does a good job making the first defender miss. I expected to see Rock serve as a backer, yet to my surprise his tape shows off EDGE/DE reps. Didn’t expect to see Rock’s hand in the dirt, I did expect his skill set to be too great to leave off the field. Rock caught a pass in this one too. Week 5 – ran for over 200 yards in this one. Scored from inside the five in this one, tough body to bring down in the red zone. A lot more outside zone runs in this one, looks good in open space. More of a rumbler than a burner but a ton of 20+ yard runs in this game.
Will rank well among his 2028 peers.

Fast, strong Running Back/Middle Linebacker that helped Hopewell Vikings to a 6-0-1 record in 2023.

– Maybe it’s old age or a bias based off watching his film recently, but it’s hard to think of another middle school prospect that times blitzes better than Rock shows on his highlights
– Versatility is key here for the 6-foot, 200-pounder. Lined up as a Mike and blitzed through the line well, yet also lines up as a Sam and picks off passes
– Had a strong season for the Hopewell on both sides of the ball, pacing the Vikings as a Linebacker and Running Back to a 6-0-1 record
