saw more and more varsity snaps for Vineland. Part of a young-at-the-skills roster, Vineland looks to scaffold their program back to what the are accustom to. Figueroa figures to be a big part of that.

, I can promise you it won’t be your last. I don’t know there is another 2028 RB in the state that can run like George can. This is one of the most elusive backs and overall players in the class. George’s change of direction is unmatched, as few RBs can react and move as quickly as he can. What’s most impressive in his agility is how low he can get when he cuts, allowing him to explode and decisively move in the opposite direction. George has that burst out of the gate that can force missed tackles and bad angles, and he has the field awareness to know which direction to take the run. George has a knack for finding the open lane and getting to daylight.

– Played for Vineland
– Was a late addition to Watchlist after seeing film on social media
If there is a faster 2028 running back than Figueroa in the state, I want to see them. I don’t have any times or numbers to go off of, but take my word when I tell you, this kid has elite speed right now. Makes the other 21 players on the field look like they’re moving in slow motion. Takes direct snaps, lines up in the slot and plays the position traditionally. Only thing lacking right now is height, but if he gets tall enough…he’s a next-level player.
