Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
Background: Hedges is a prospect who continues to impress on the football field. He was one of the top Backs in the Catholic League in 2025. He is listed as a St. Anthony’s transfer ahead of the 2026 season.
Measurables: Hedges has a versatile build for an athlete. He can play on both sides of the ball. DB and RB are his main positions, and standing at 5’9″ 185-Pounds, showcases a solid frame for a RB. He can continue adding more weight and height as he continues through High School.
Evaluation: Hedges is the definition of elusiveness. He can shake off any tackle, and avoid all attempts to take him down. He moves downfield well, and attacks the ground on each carry. He has fluid hips which is seen when he avoids tackles. He has ballet type footwork, and can stay balanced and move effortlessly and quickly. He can let plays develop behind the LOS, and finds the hole on every play. Hedges is a can’t miss prospect with continued work in each of his traits.

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).
