Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
One of a three-headed Medusa of a backfield out of Elizabeth was Jalais Mendoza Jalais Mendoza 5'7" | 166 lbs | RB Elizabeth | 2025 State NJ . Mendoza is a very solid, safe running back that will not hurt you in any way. At moments we see a burst as he makes really good cuts between the tackle. However, when things are cloudy, he is unafraid to stick his nose in the pile and rely on faith in his track and play design. Staying on this topic, Mendoza will use his stiff arm not only as a weapon to evade defenders, but as a way to feel is way out of the backfield. I like how he seems fall forward due to how he leans when he runs. Mendoza also manipulates his body, getting skinny and limiting his surface area when he suspects defenders are looking to lay a big hit. Ball security is a priority of his, as Mendoza pins it securely to his chest. Lastly, Mendoza appears to be a team player as he took reps at tailback, wing back, fullback, and gave genuine and true effort when blocking for his teammates and took pride in his role of their success.
