Grady Kinsey Grady Kinsey 5'8" | 195 lbs | RB Indian Valley | 2026 State OH is off to a strong senior year. The Air Force commit has 531 yards rushing and five touchdowns through the first two games. Kinsey can take direct snaps to the house, and has an uncanny instincts, knowing when to turn up the gears and be a vertical threat. He is athletic enough to play on both sides of the ball, and at linebacker he is a thumper on defense with a great motor, pursuit and range.

Kinsey is a tough, physical runner who loves contact and has tremendous balance. He led Indian Valley to a state championship and undefeated record in 2024. He was Ohio’s leading rusher and the fifth overall most-productive running back in the country last season, carrying the rock for 3,278 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns. He has been rewarded for his efforts with double-digit offers.

Kinsey was one of the most impressive running backs I saw all season long. He helped lead the way for not just Indian Valley’s first state championship in school history but also the first state championship from Tuscarawas county. Kinsey doesn’t go down off first contact and he can explode past you. In the state championship, the Indian Valley offense scored every possession and only passed one twice, and one of those passes was Kinsey completing a pass that went for a 50-yard completion.

Kinsey, who picked up his first offer from Toledo just two weeks ago, is a very strong running back who is very muscular with thick legs. He leads the state in both rushing yards (2,523) and rushing touchdowns (34). He runs a whole lot bigger than his 5-foot-9 size would indicate, displaying above-average top-end speed in space. He shows good burst and acceleration as an outside runner as well.
