Landen requested to be a part of this series once we announced it on social media, so we’ll dig into his film here. I know him from seeing him in person at multiple showcases, but he’s a dynamic running back who can explode into the open field, as he shows on his first clip. On his second clip, he takes a simple dive play for 70 yards, using a nice combination of speed and vision right up the middle of the field. Landen shows a good ability to run through solo tackle attempts in the open field, and he’s a smart runner who is always going north/south, without a lot of wasted motion. Landen currently has an offer from Cornell University.

Rising senior ATH Landen Agee Landen Agee 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB/ATH North Lincoln | 2027 State NC is the heart and soul of North Lincoln and one of the leaders this team will lean on heading into the new era. A true two-way impact player, Agee makes his presence felt on both sides of the ball but is primarily being utilized and recruited at running back. The 2x All-Conference selection is a home-run threat every time he touches the football with the ability to score from anywhere on the field. His explosiveness, versatility, and leadership make him one of the biggest pieces to North Lincoln’s success this season.

Landen was a major part of the offense for North Lincoln last season. Even when defenses knew he was getting the ball, Landen still found a way to produce against stacked boxes and increased defensive attention. Landen did very well at the CFI Carolinas Winter Showcase, being one of the top running backs in attendance. Landen has impressive athleticism and size with his physical frame. In the open field, Landen is very dangerous and has the speed to run away from defenders. College football programs are beginning to take notice as well, as Landen picked up an offer from Cornell as his first Division 1 offer last month.

Agee, who averaged nearly 10 yards a carry as the secondary back in 2024, showed he could be the lead back last season, putting up almost half of North Lincoln’s total yardage on just over 200 carries. He has good vision and avoids tacklers well, getting to the next level, with speed to finish runs once he’s in the open field.

Landen was really a pleasant surprise for me here. Seeing him up close, he is bigger physically than I initally anticipated heading into the showcase. Landen has excellent balance, and he moves with great agility and athleticism with the ball in his hands. Landen showed me that he has a lot of skill to his game that he didn’t necessarily have the chance to showcase in the North Lincoln triple option attack they employed. He’s a good candidate to move up in our next rankings update.

Landen is a two-sport player as he also plays basketball. Landen broke on the scene with a strong game where he rushed for over 100 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Landen shows good speed in the open field and does a good job of reading plays and finding his way into open spaces. North Lincoln is a run-first program and Landen has a good chance to be a major contributor over the next couple of years.
