Jaiden Knight Jaiden Knight 5'11" | 185 lbs | RB Appling County | 2027 State GA is the first player who comes to mind on this list, as he is set for a massive 2026 season. He finished last season with an average of 156.6 rushing yards per game and was one of the more dominant running backs in the Peach State. He is going to be the center of attention when it comes to this team and defenses trying to gameplan, but rightfully so. He will likely be the captain of this team as he enters his final season of high school football. The talented running back is one to keep an eye on if you are a fan of players who have a high motor and great fight in their system, because he isn’t one to be taken down easily.

Now he’s ranked as the No. 10 RB prospect in the state for the 2027 class.
