About Corey
Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Hinton is a big and physical runner that looks for contact in the hole and is tough to take down in one on one situations and once he gets going through the third level. He runs behind his pads with natural forward lean, has some wiggle in the short area and is a long strider that can chunk yards in the open field with a deceptive downfield gear. He shows contact balance in traffic, patience to stay behind his blockers before he breaks off and has cutback abilities and can make defenders miss in the hole while looking for contact and keeping his legs going at all times. Overall, he is a big and physical complete back heading into his Junior season and should draw plenty more FBS interest/offers.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
A dynamic and explosive athlete that is projected to be one of the top RB’s in the 2028 class as he gets more varsity experience. He’s got good twitch in the short area with quick feet and lateral agility to make defenders miss in tight spaces. Shows a good ability to use his vision and instincts to read the flow of the defense and make quick decisive cuts to find space. His burst and acceleration sets him apart from his peers by being able to run away from defenders and force misjudged angles of pursuit. Possesses a multi-tool skillset with his talent as a route runner and pass catcher. First offered by UNLV as an either grader and recently added his first P4 program in Missouri.
