Expert Analysis
Zack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Rios is the top-ranked senior running back in Nevada coming into the 2025 season. The Nevada-commit has rushed over 2,700 yards and 37 TDs over the past two seasons and will be looking for his third consecutive 1,000-yard season this fall. Last season, he showed great athletic development to pair with the power and balance already in his physical skillset. Rios should be due for another highly productive season as the most complete RB in Nevada’s 2026 class.

Rios committed to Nevada after picking up his first offer from the Wolfpack in mid-January. The state’s top 2026 RB put together another highly productive season rushing for over 1,300 yards and 20 TDs for Reed in the fall. He’s a physical, downhill back that’s continued to grow and develop from an athletic standpoint over the past few seasons. Rios is the first prospect off the board from Nevada’s 2026 class.

Rios picked up his first offer from Nevada in mid-January. The top-ranked RB in PRZ NV’s 2026 rankings followed up his breakout sophomore season with another productive run in 2024 with just under 1,400 rushing yards and 20 TDs as a junior. He’s a physical downhill runner that showed noticeable growth in his speed and explosiveness from his sophomore to junior seasons. Rios also took an unofficial visit to Reno this month and met with coaches from Fresno St. on Reed’s campus.

Rios posted his second 200-yard performance of the season with 206 yards and 3 TDs on 14 carries in a 49-7 win over McQueen. The 5’9″/190 junior has continued to show his downhill physicality while looking like an improved athlete with more speed and elusiveness to his game since his sophomore season. Rios’ recruiting stock is trending up with the strong junior season he’s putting together and just took a gameday visit to hometown Nevada earlier this month.

Rios posted a massive effort on the ground rushing for 248 yards and 3 TDs on 16 carries in Reed’s 39-36 loss to Twelve Bridges (CA). The 5’9″/190 junior showed his power and contact balance on several explosive gains and promising versatility in his skillset with his pass blocking and catching out of the backfield. He looks faster and more elusive than he did a season ago with noticeable burst at the LOS. Rios- the #2 RB in PRZ NV’s 2026 rankings- has potential to take over the top spot at his position this season.
