Next up we have an RB who can change a game with a single touch. Arrowhead’s Jebari Craig is an electric athlete with the football in his hands. He flexes his speed as he flies through gaps and through the secondary untouched. It feels like he never has to slow down when he gets the ball. He finds his aiming point and hits it at full speed, showing confidence in his own vision and his OL to open things up for him. What you don’t expect from the 5’9″ 185 lbs athlete is the way he can bounce off tacklers downfield. Jebari is very well balanced and seems to absorb contact, allowing him to continue downfield without so much as stumbling. The RB is an explosive weapon on one of the best offenses in the state. Don’t miss out on the 2027 RB.

I love the way this kid runs the ball. As a 5’8″ 175 lbs back we don’t want to see Jebari having to win with power. He can rip through arm tackles at times, but we want to see the elusiveness. The ’27 RB is able to deliver in that way. The speed he can be running at while hitting a juke leads to highlights that bring to life the idea of making someone miss in a phone booth. Craig can leave defenders grabbing at air as they try to corral him in for a tackle. Jebari is such a nimble, sudden, and explosive athlete. It is hard to tackle what you can’t hit, and Craig prove that.

This is one of my favorite playmakers at the RB position. Jebari piled up 11 TDs on the way to a D1 State Championship despite splitting work with two other RBs throughout the year. Jebari’s production draws the picture at how much of a big play threat he is. Then you turn on the film and you see the way that he creates that production. The 5’8″ 175 lbs 2027 is at his best with his quickness, burst, and agility. When things get tight Jebari is able to create space with his athleticism and then turn those glimpses of daylight into the game breaking plays. This offseason I hope to see more proof of improvement in his hands to really round out his skill set for the next level.

This kid is electric with the football. Explosive athleticism flashes on every single one of his highlight reel carries. Jebari always seems to be gaining ground once he has the ball in his hand. He is so quick to read and react to blocks and holes opening up that and his lateral agility is so sudden and powerful that he can press the line of scrimmage and juke into a suddenly open hole. The junior RB is so quick to get to top speed out of cuts too that he is able to beat LBs through holes and from there it is a race of angles downfield. A race that Jebari wins a lot. The playmaker at RB is fun to watch and should put together a really good summer.

Jebari quickly established himself as a kid to watch throughout the day on Sunday. The 5’8″ 175 lbs RB checked in with a 5’11” wingspan, and 9″ hands and put together a strong combine. The junior ran a pair of 4.81 40s, a 4.44 shuttle, and jumped 9’1″ and 9’4″ in the broad. Numbers that suggest an explosive RB, especially in short tight spaces.

That is exactly what Jebari demonstrated in 1 on 1s. The junior was so quick in the open field in ground game battles vs the LBs. He proved that he could get the corner or he could juke and accelerate, leaving the LB slapping at empty air. The 2027 is an exciting weapon in the backfield.

Stats: 13 Carries, 62 Yards

Arrowhead rosters a trio of dynamic and explosive RBs, so Jebari earning the majority of carries is noteworthy. Craig is quick through traffic. His vision and instincts allowed him to thrive through the trenches as he could quickly find the hole, look for a cutback if necessary, and get up field and also utilize an explosive jump cut to avoid tackles. For being a more undersized back Jebari runs really hard too, bouncing off hits and still gaining yards while his body is at awkward angles. The playmaker really broke out this season. Big things ahead for him.
