Expect a massive season from RB Jaron Cannon Jr Jaron Cannon Jr 5'10" | 170 lbs | RB Omaha North | 2026 State NE who will look to serve as the focal point of the Omaha North offense. Cannon had another excellent season as the Vikings’ star back ended his junior year with 1,447 rushing yards, 204 receiving yards, and 21 touchdowns. Jaron possesses a very well-rounded skillset for a running back, using his power to pound away at defenses while also having the agility to make quick, decisive cuts. He plays with a very balanced and strong base that keeps him upright as he takes on contact. Cannon’s vision and patience also allow him to wait for his blocks to set up in front of him as he examines the field for the best lane. Great burst through his gap. Cannon’s breakaway speed makes him nearly impossible to track down once he finds the open field, and even then, you know he’s not going down without a fight. Jaron’s skillset also includes great hands out of the backfield and a willingness to pick up defenders in pass protection. Cannon’s junior tape had several great clips of him shutting down blitzing LBs as an extra blocker in the backfield. Cannons holds offers from Northwest Missouri State and Wayne State, but should see many more teams come to the table with another strong campaign.
