Wylie | 2027
State

is a 2027 running back at Wylie who flashes a smooth, slashing running style with strong vision and natural feel between the tackles. He shows the burst to turn a crease into a chunk play, and his ability to accelerate in space makes him a threat every time he touches it. Gordon’s upside is clear because he already creates explosive plays, and he still has plenty of room to grow as he continues stacking varsity reps.

Read EvaluationCole Dobbins | Prep Redzone Scout
Gordon was breaking tackles all over the field with his smooth-stride, slashing running style. Daylon displays great vision at the line of scrimmage, setting up his own blocks into the second level. Gordon totes the rock with little wasted movement and excellent lower-body contact balance. He also demonstrates solid pad level and a consistent forward lean that allows him to fall forward through contact. After a 3-touchdown, 242-yard performance, expect Daylon to stay hot for the Pirates down the stretch. Gordon has received offers from schools such as Ole Miss, Cal, and Texas Tech.
