EJ Cotton

Overall Ranking #9  Position #2

In my humble opinion. Ej is the #1 running back in this group. He is the most natural running back and is blessed with all the tangibles to be successful at this position. If you look at him, he’s a back. I know he got skills at corner, but “he’s a RB lol.” The others on this list have options. Also, when the only real knock on him is his height, that tells you everything you need to know. Playing this position at the highest level and having coaches or scouts tell me along the way, that I was to small, is par for the course. Especially since he’s still growing, who knows what will happen.  I will need another article to reference shorter backs that have gone on and did amazing things. Fast, quick, strong, balance, vision, ball skills, attitude all come with this young man. Haven’t seen enough blocking, but that’s something every young back needs to master at the next level. My man EJ will be just fine and I’m routing for him to keep that chip on his shoulder.

Arguably the fastest pure running back in Delaware for the class of 2028. Has a tremendous build for a prospect on this level and runs like he was shot out a cannon when he hits the hole. Also a very good corner, too.

Area for improvement: Not exactly in his control, but simply getting taller.
