A year ago I fell in love with New York 2027 prospect, and then-eighth grader, running back Kory Brown. Brown went on to win the RB MVP at the Prep Redzone Next Middle School Camp in New Jersey before picking up an offer from Rutgers before he even graduated from middle school. This year, the eighth-grade back out of New York that I am high on early, is Khalid Hedges. Hedges, like Brown, is also a Staten Island native and brings a similar mix of speed and tough running. While he doesn’t have the same impressive muscle mass that Brown did/does at this stage, Hedges is an explosive back with tremendous acceleration. At 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds, he will (literally) break the arm of a defensive player trying to bring him down with arm tackles. It’s early, but Tottenville High School could add yet another talented back to its stable, that already includes PRZ New York’s No.1 running back in 2027 (Kory Brown) and No.1 running back in 2026 (Tyshawn Bent).
