Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
McFarland is a back that has a lot of speed and when he gets to the second level is able to pull away from defenders and take it to the house. He is a big play waiting to happen and is explosive when he has the ball in his hands. He has a knack for making the first defender miss and can lower his shoulder to fight for extra yardage. He is uncommitted and looking for a home that he can make an impact at and would be a great addition to any program still looking for a dynamic back.

Read EvaluationMatt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
McFarland is continuing to put up numbers. He has 3 games of over 100+ yards, and this game was no different. He had 8 carries for 100 yards and 1 touchdown against Pueblo West. Measuring in at 6’0 205 pounds, the senior back was difficult to tackle on the defense. Each time he carried the ball, he was taking big chunks out from underneath the defense. He used his good mental processing and good vision to identify which holes to run through. He hits the hole with a tenacity to him. He’s a bruising running back, with it taking multiple defenders to bring him down. Great performance by the senior who capitalized on each carry.

McFarland proved to be a key part of Vista Ridge’s ground attack in Week 2, carrying the ball 10 times for 92 yards. His ability to find open running lanes and pick up chunk yardage consistently gave his team the upper hand. McFarland’s burst through the line of scrimmage allowed him to exploit defensive gaps, while his vision helped him navigate the defense and extend plays. His contributions kept the chains moving and forced the defense to stay honest against the run. McFarland’s performance was a model of efficiency, providing the spark needed to keep Vista Ridge’s offense balanced and effective.
