Expert Analysis
Michael Keighron | Prep Redzone Scout
Kimble did what he has been doing since his freshman season; dominate the game. Canisius #1 responsibility is always to get Eli the ball. While he only carried it 14 times, he took those attempts for 231 yards and 4 scores. He also added an INT on defense that set up one of those TDs.

Kimble, undoubtably the best RB in WNY – possibly the entire state, has just committed to play college football at Syracuse in 2027. He is already the Crusaders all time leading rusher and will continue to climb the ladder in the WNY ranks. For Canisius to get back to the State Championship this season, Kimble will have to be the catalyst.

Kimble’s a home run hitter. He’s got rare long speed and the ability to run away from guys at the third level. He’s thick and fluid, runs upright, and is more of a north-south guy than twitchy. His speed with his powerful running style is not something you’d see very often. He attacks angles on the edges and when he sticks his foot in the ground is able to make powerful cuts. He’s a strong runner in between the tackles. Kimble is patient at the LOS and follows his blockers. I’d love to see more of him in the receiving game and how he can put stress on a defense in that way.

The #1 RB in NYS continues to dominate in the ground game. For the third consecutive year, Kimble is named All-WNY, All-Catholic and when the All-State team is announced, he will be a 1st team mention there as well. One thing Kimble did this year that he hadn’t done prior is win the Connolly Cup; the trophy awarded to WNY’s top athlete.
