Downhill football still matters and Able is proves that on every touch. His mature frame, pad level, and lower-body strength to punish defenses between the tackles. This in addition to his linebackers mentality makes every carry feels physical.

What separates Kendrick from many bigger backs is the consistency of the motor and finishing style. He constantly falls forward through contact, grinds down defensive fronts, and wears defenses out over the course of games. The freight-train build-up speed only adds to the punishment once he gains momentum.

The production reinforces the profile: over 1,500 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on 205 carries. Kendrick brings old-school toughness while still showing enough movement skill, balance, and conditioning to remain productive in modern offensive systems.

Able has tacked on some D1 offers in the past and is rated highly by us here at PRZ, but he is still someone without a whole lot of buzz nationally. I definitely like the tape. He is a strong, stout player with a low center of gravity. He is explosive in the short areas and has elite contact balance. His ability to restart runs and stay balanced through traffic is impressive. He has the foot speed and head nods in space to create some yards for himself. High floor runner with years of production under his belt.

If old school football is your forte than Able is the guy for you. With a mature frame he uses his size and strength the run the ball with a linebacker mentality. As a bruiser he ran with authority. Able runs with good pad level, contact balance, and lower body strength to push for extra yards. While finishing almost every run with a purpose Able maintained his intensity through 28 carry performance resulting in 207 yards and 2 TDS agaisnt McGill-Toolen.

Kendrick Able Kendrick Able 5'10" | 200 lbs | RB Theodore | 2027 State AL is a dominant RB out of Theodore who’s landed as our #3 RB and #58 overall prospect in this update.

“Able is an athletic back who kills defenses with his vision, toughness, and speed. He’s patient behind the line of scrimmage and does a great job waiting for blocks to develop, consistently making the most out of each carry.

It’s really tough for defenses to bring Able down- he runs hard, can step out of tackles, and has the speed and elusiveness to evade and outrun defenders. Once he’s in the open field, Able can easily change his direction and make defenders miss to create huge plays on the ground- it’s really impressive to watch.“

Able put up some impressive numbers last fall, he ended his sophomore year with 166 carries for 916 yards and 6 TDs in 8 games.

Over the last few months, Able has picked up offers from Troy, Jacksonville State, Alabama A&M, and others. With how well he’s played, I won’t be surprised to see his list grow soon, he’s a talented back with a big season ahead of him this fall.

Check out some of Able’s tape below:

Stout, broad-shouldered 5’10 200 with a low center of gravity. He runs exceptionally hard and keeps his feet active while working through traffic. He explodes through the first lane he gets, quickly getting up on defenders’ toes. Elite contact balance, gets himself back to balance well. Won’t win foot races, but he is a cloud of dust runner who will get tough yards. High floor prospect.
