Ranked as the No. 5 RB prospect in the state, Nalls made a big jump in the latest rankings update due to his impressive frame, potential, talent, and the tape last fall from his sophomore season. The impressive Calhoun running back was the No.2 option for the Yellow Jackets last fall, rushing for 421 yards and five touchdowns on just 68 carries. He showed a shifty running style, impressive vision, and enough size to pick up big yards after first contact. His potential is easy to see and he’s likely bound for a strong, productive junior season this fall.

Isaiah Nalls is one of the most outstanding backs returning this season. He is such a talented back and someone who has had a big off-season.

He is an excellent all-around running back and he has the God-given ability to make things happen. Watch out for Nalls and Calhoun this season!

He’s a spectacular talent that continues to grow and showcase the great God-given abilities he has.

Nalls has emerged as not only a premier RB in NWGA, but a premier RB in the entire state out of the 2028 class. He is a featherweight, but leggy RB prospect with room to get bigger. This dude can roll, and there is little that can stop him, or rather, catch him, when he gets going. He has the foot speed to dance around contact and the long speed to lift off. He accelerates through cuts and, when shedding off tacklers, kicking off a foot race that defenders aren’t ready for.

One thing about Nalls, he’s a guy who works extremely hard and it shows on the field of play. This season I feel like he will burst on the scene in an even bigger way and he brings such a physical and athletic style to the table and he brings that dynamic running style to his team. He can run off of scrimmage and catch the ball out of the backfield. He is one name that will be heard all over the state in the fall of 2026. Look out for Nalls.

He’s currently ranked as the No. 5 RB prospect in Georgia for the 2028 class.
