Keyvon Booker Keyvon Booker 5'10" | 150 lbs | RB/LB Austin-East | 2029 TN is a running back that I came across early in 2026. I wasn’t familiar with his game, but I loved his tape. So far in 2026, he’s been one of the more productive players in this class, despite limited playing time.

Booker has carried the ball just nine times for 75 yards and a touchdown. I wish Austin-East High School would use him more, because he’s electric out of the backfield. He added some weight this summer and now stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 160 pounds in a lean, athletic frame.

The sophomore is speedy, with nice twitch and the ability to get into the second/third levels. However, he’s a powerful runner for his size. Booker is not afraid of contact whatsoever. I would like him to become more of a polished runner, but he has some of the best traits in his class.

He’ll continue on at Austin-East Magnet, after being part of an elite group of 2029 prospects that shined all of last season.

Another prospect that wasn’t at the first practice, but then quickly showed up big in the second practice was Austin East Road Runner, Keyvon Booker Keyvon Booker 5'10" | 150 lbs | RB/LB Austin-East | 2029 TN . Booker looks to be a starter at Linebacker for Team Fire, but as a Running Back during the regular season, it’s his speed that really stood out at practice. He looked significantly faster than some of the Wide Receivers/Defensive Backs/Running Backs on the roster. Making a play on the opposite boundary from where he lined up, is completely on the table as a possibility with the way he gets from Point A to Point B. He was just simply a better athlete overall than the majority of kids on the field and it consistently showed throughout practice.

Keyvon brings a well rounded game out the backfield. As a running back he exudes all the tangibles you want at this position. He’s explosive, strong, and has crazy change of direction ability. When carrying the ball he’s looking to run through contact or make you freeze in time with a little wiggle. Keyvon can catch the ball and has good build up speed.
