Expert Analysis
Cole Laing | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the more well-rounded backs you will see in this class with his combination of speed, short-area quickness, burst, balance, and strength. His tape shows good ability to run both inside and outside schemes, staying patient to read the hole, and shows good burst and acceleration to the second level. Very good contact balance and run strength, he is tough to bring down. Very good change of direction, with the ability to stop and go in traffic, allowing him to evade defenders and find a crease to hit open field. Shows good top-end speed that many will not catch on the high school level. He also displays a willingness to pass block and can be utilized in the receiving game.

Read EvaluationEd OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Brent is well on his way to surpassing his 2024 season total of 872 rushing yards. In his first thee games, Brent has carried the football 35 times for 571 yards (16.3 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns. He’s already ripped off two games of 240-plus rushing yards (250 against Fredericksburg Christian and 248 against Fork Union Military Academy. Brent has limited highlights up right now but the few clips that he has up shows his speed, acceleration, and ability to separate from defenders. I look forward to seeing what the final product looks like at the end of the season.
Week 1: 4 (TD); 16 carries- 245 rushing yards. #3 RB@STABFootball @JoeBee_2 @CoachKBadke @PrepRedzoneVA pic.twitter.com/y4r9m1d5Lx

is in for a big senior season for the Saints. Brent tested very well and looked so smooth and fluid during the individual drills, cannot wait to see what he does in 2025 season. His vision and explosiveness are what stand out the most in my opinion, Brent will easily topple the 1,000 yard threshold this fall.

Jonah is a name to watch the next couple years. He is a good athlete and you see his speed, agility, and acceleration jump out on film. He has good patience in the backfield with good vision, waiting for his blocks to develop with good burst through the hole on inside runs with very good acceleration. Good outside runner, beating defensive ends and linebackers to get to the edge and turning upfield. Good balance as a runner to keep his feet through the hole and arm tackles. Good receiving skills, showing routes out of the backfield and slot positions, with good hand and yards after catch ability.Hudl / Twitter
