has showcased his impressive skills and determination, moving up from the #258 to #241 in the class of 2027 rankings. Standing at 5’5” and weighing 155 lbs, Morris may be on the shorter side, but his performance speaks volumes. As a 2024 All-NEPSAC selection, he emerged as a dynamic and instinctive player in the backfield.
In the 2025 season, Morris dazzled with 17 touchdowns and over 1,000 rushing yards over just 9 games, highlighting his explosive playmaking abilities. His speed and agility make him a constant threat to defenses, and his football IQ allows him to read plays effectively, further elevating his game.
While concerns about his height and frame persist, Morris has continually proven that he can “ball” and possesses the essential tools to be a game-changer at the next level. As he continues to develop, his stock could rise even further in the coming years, solidifying his position as a must-watch prospect for college programs in need of a talented running back.

This is the second week in a row that Jalen has done everything for the Rivers Red Wings: Rushing TD, Receiving TD, pick 6, and another INT to completely shut down a fumbling Groton team. Lil’ Homie is a baller..

Jalen was the most sure-handed player on the field in this defensive battle. He made plays on offense, defense and special teams and didn’t fumble the ball once. He was a big part of the big win for the returning champs.

Rivers School, Mass | true 2027 RB/WR/DB| 1x All nepsac & isl honorable mention + 1x bob Souza bowl winner ~
Jalen is a very elusive, shifty but fast player. He has the ability to make you miss and take it the distance. He mainly lined up as a running back next to the quarterback in shotgun situations along with taking some snaps in the slot on offense. Jalen is a rising underclassman that can play on both sides of the ball and make plays wherever you put him. I can see him also being a dangerous punt returner with the type of elusive, fast, athletic skills he possesses. On defense, he finished with a league leading 2 interceptions. Jalen is a ball hawk. His acceleration is one quality you see that stands out on both sides of the ball. This kid is exciting to watch. A true playmaker.

is a class of 2027 running back that plays at The Rivers School in Weston, Massachusetts. He measured in at 5’6″ and 151 pounds. I had Jalen as my number two running back and very arguably could have been number one. He tested in the top five in the 5-10-5 shuttle run at the combine with a 4.35 second shuttle. Jalen seem to have quick feet and a nice burst in and out of cuts witnessed in the running back stations. During the 1 on 1 portion against the linebackers he ran routes out the backfield and from the slot, he was often a mismatch against his defenders because of his speed. He ran a confirmed 4.78 second 40 yard dash. With a few years ahead of himself for more bone and muscle growth development he is going to surely be a prospect to keep an eye on through this process.

RB/WR | The Rivers School | Class of 2027 | Boston, Massachusetts / HUDL What we know: He earned the call for the RB position for his Varsity team. In his first high school game this season, he had 7 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown. In his second game this week, he earned two touchdowns. He is a smaller sized back at 5’5″ but with a flash of 1st step quickness and burst. He runs with a low center of gravity and good lean. He can stick his foot in the ground and break away instantly to make defenders miss. He also has taken the desire to be an effective blocker in the backfield for his QB.
