Fogo has quick feet and has a burst to get tot he LOS quickly. He shows good cuts, and has breakaway speed. He also can break tackles at the line or in space. Fogo also shows good hands catching from the backfield, and can make plays all over the field. He is very tough to bring down when he gets a head of steam, and can also use a mix of moves to evade defenders. Lots to see with this young running back. He shows lots of potential.

My top guy when it came to drill work, and factually the best Class of 2028 RB when it came to all-around testing.

I watched Fogo back in January of 2024. Here’s what I had to say about him at that time.

“Fogo is one of those guys that aces the eye test. And to find out he’s in the class of 2028? Wow. He’s an incredibly muscular and dense running back who already looks like an upperclassman who’s had years in the weight room. Once he stepped on the field for drills, I admit his athleticism was a bit underwhelming. He needs to work on speed, change of direction, and making moves in the open field. 1-on-1 against linebackers, he looked like he was trying to do too much. Sometimes, a simple 1-move juke is the best and quickest move. I’m very interested in seeing his development in the coming years wether that’s in the US or Canada!”

Most of the time, I see major areas of improvement in young prospects. I did with Fogo, and wow, he really patched up those weaknesses. From a promising incoming Freshman who struggles athletically to an incoming sophomore with Power 4-level athletic ability.
Still, I was not able to watch Fogo in 1on1s (lines were SO long). Now at Phillips Exeter Academy, Fogo should be able to shine. I’m really curious to see how he’s utilized there.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Fogo has a 4.3 GPA, verified by one of his coaches. By all accounts, Fogo is an incredibly athletic, strong, and SMART running back. Fogo legitimately could be one of the most underrated RBs in the Class of 2028!

Filani, who is a 100m sprinter and RB prospect, has some positional versatility. From what I see on tape, I think there are some skills where you could split him out wide or use him as a returner. Filani is fast, and he shows on tape he can run away from defenders consistently.
