Here’s another weapon that can absolutely rip a defense apart. This season at Dakota, he was really consistent, and was turning some potential disaster plays into positives. His vision allows him to see tiny creases in the defense and exploit them. He has the speed to get the edge and outrun pursuit angles, and the elusiveness to make guys miss once they get close. I absolutely love his ability to bounce out of the hole to another gap whenever things aren’t where he expected. Phenomenal instincts along with elite athletic tools allows Aaron to be incredibly effective in all situations.

Some of the best burst and speed in this class. Struggles seeing hte field, but when he does find a hole, he explodes through it, and has great (but not elite) speed.

Absolutely G5 talent. Just have to coach out those mistakes, and I’d also love to see better power and contact balance. Similar traits to, say, D’Andre Swift when he was with the Lions.

I like what I’m seeing from Jeramiah Aaron Jeramiah Aaron 5'8" | 180 lbs | RB Dakota | 2027 State MI . I can already see improvements regarding contact balance, vision, and more. He’s more efficient than he was last season, as well as more explosive. I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s able to do against the best of the MAC Red. Dakota will absolutely need Aaron to play well against Romeo, IKE, and in the postseason.

A potential star in the Macomb area. Jeramiah is a phenomenal athlete and has shown plenty of flashes. When Dakota wants to spread the field, Jeramiah can be a major weapon in the screen/sweep game. When Dakota just wants to ground and pound, Jeramiah has shown flashes of hard-nosed running, especially within the red zone.

This season, he should be a premier player in Dakota’s offense. I’m really looking forward to seeing how Jeramiah fares this season.

As I’ve said several times before, Jeramiah should be in for a massive Junior season.

He’s a similar player to LJ. Similar size, good top speed, can explode through a hole, and isn’t a stranger to the receiving game. It was a little lower sample size for Jeramiah last season simply due to the massive amount of weapons they already had. After a few key players graduated, Jeramiah should get an increased number of touches.

I’m expecting that same breakaway ability from Jeramiah this season. In addition, I’d love to see an upgrade in vision and contact balance. With reps, he will improve in these areas.

One of if not the most versatile RB on this list. Dakota loves to pound the rock, but they also love to get the ball in open space. Jeramiah is a weapon in both aspects.

He’s also a player who is great at running within structure. Follows his blocks, is explosive enough to get through holes that would otherwise close too fast, and can make a defender miss in tight space. Where I’d like to see Jeramiah improve is in his strength (contact balance) and vision. Especially on the strength side, Jeramiah has the athletic ability to slip by a ton more tackles.

Could find his way at #1 for a lot of reasons. He’s got the athleticism, and will be RB1 for a state-championship contending team with a very difficult schedule. If Jeramiah has been doing the right things this offseason, then he’ll have a monster 2025 season.

Aaron settles in as my #2 running back in the class. Honestly, there were RBs who had more success than Jeremiah, but I do give him the very slight benefit of the doubt. Honestly? I’m giving him that benefit of the doubt because of Dakota’s proven coaching staff and excellent strength of schedule.

This is a player who does his best work in space. This past season, Aaron received a lot of off-tackle carries and jet sweeps. Given the space, Jeramiah oftentimes opts to simply exploit bad pursuit angles and burn the defense with his speed. Love the explosiveness and top speed Jeramiah brings to the table. On the other hand, he could definitely use some work when it comes to contact balance and overall strength. Look at any running back committed to a B1G 10 school and you’ll see a player with great strength and athleticism, not just one.

This evaluation will be pretty similar to my previous evaluations of Jeramiah. He had a handful of carries, and a handful of great flashes at RB. On track to be RB1 next season, he gives the Dakota offense much more athleticism and, honestly, upside at the position. There were times against Utica when Jeramiah hit the wrong hole or struggled to break arm tackles. There were other times where Jeramiah hit the correct hole and screamed upfield for a great gain. He’s still pretty hit-or-miss, but if he keeps this trajectory, he’s an All-MAC Running Back in 2025.

Jeramiah is a very similar athlete to Masai, who I talk about above.

A smaller running back, Jeramiah sports good elusiveness and vision. He consistently waits for his blocks to develop before exploding through the hole, and this type of patience is rare for a sophomore prospect. When it is time to hit the hole, Jeramiah shows good explosiveness and overall athleticism. He doesn’t currently have that top-end open-field ability like Hill from Davison, but the potential is 100% there. Furthermore, plays like 2:45 show good contact balance. It’s a good sophomore season for Jeramiah, but with a productive offseason, I could easily see him exploding onto the scene in 2025.
