One of the top 2026 running backs across the South, Baker is one of the fastest backs in Georgia and already holds offers from some of the best programs in college football. He’s a long-strider who picks up yards in a hurry and does is with an impressive frame. He’s big enough to bowl over defenders with enough speed to take off on any particular play. The Atlanta-area back has run for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He rushed for over 100 yards last week in a big win over Thomas County Central and is hoping to do something similar against a tough Coffee team.

PR 100M Time: 10.65 (May 2024)
Carsyn Baker is a scouts dream at RB. Listed at 6’2 200, running a 10.65 at that weight should have P4 coaches lined up for him, and those offers are starting to pour in. He is still growing into his frame and ultimately has his best football ahead of him, but his sophomore tape is a good testament to what he is capable of doing. He effortlessly glides around the football, generating the drive with his knees needed to skate through running lanes. He also has enough suddenness to stick his cleats in the dirt and get vertical. Speed to power potential is often used to describe EDGE guys, but Baker has some of that potential as an RB. He has plenty of room to add weight, and when he does, he will be a downhill machine capable of handling a workload in college. If it were up to me, my 2026 RB board would start with Baker.
