Pirkle contributed all over the field for Cherokee Bluff on his way to an all-region season in 2025. He projects out as a speedy scat-back when you factor in his size and skillset. Fluid, smooth athlete who is light on his feet. He is quick to his top speed, but he is also quick to slow down, which generates fly-bys and opens up cut-back opportunities. Dangerous player in space who gets opportunities as a receiver in the open field. Can add speed and make-miss ability to some small school programs. Yet another guy I’d be intrigued with in-state.

An underrated running back from Hall County, Pirkle may now be the biggest back around, but he’s quick, shifty, and shows good patience and vision when looking for his running lanes. He hits the hole hard and has enough speed to break away from opposing defenders down the field. The impressive back ran for 739 yards and 10 touchdowns last fall while catching nine passes for 77 yards and two more scores. He has a nose for the end-zone and was one of the more productive sophomore backs in the area last fall. Look for him to be even better and possibly find the end-zone even more as a junior in 2025.
