Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
In the first six games of the season (through 10/11/24), Booker has carried the ball 76 times for 640 yards and scored five touchdowns, showcasing his effectiveness as a hard-nosed runner. Though he hasn’t released a full highlight reel, his game footage against Norcum High School and clips from two other games reveal his tendency to attack the middle of the field, consistently running between the tackles while occasionally bouncing runs outside when necessary.
Booker’s downhill running style is relentless; he hits the line quickly and runs with impressive physicality, making him tough to bring down. He absorbs contact well, rarely going down on initial tackles. A more comprehensive evaluation will be done once his full season highlights are available.

Awesome production, 1,600+ yards, 20+ TDs all on one junior tape. A slippery back who has the balance and lower body strength to run in gaps between the tackles. Has a rep hitting the second level and splitting two DBs, both of which had angles on him, that’s real acceleration skills displayed on tape. Runs usually start with Booker behind the QB in shotgun sets. Unreal burst after breaching first line, patience is seen before said bursts, follows his blocks well, is well seasoned on all things running back. Great spatial awareness downfield, Booker can keep churning up yards via forward momentum, all while having the wherewithall to cut away from defenders, 360-degree vision. Ranks just outside of the top ten in his position. Self labels as a DB as well, would love to see how his offensive skills translate to the defensive side of the ball.
