One of the most productive backs across Middle Georgia right now in the 2029 class, Pendleton is a tackle-breaking back from Gray, Georgia who has turned a lot of heads so far this season in Jones County. The physical 5-foot-10 180-pounder brings above-average speed and has been a consistent weapon for the Jones County offense throughout the 2026 season so far. The Greyhound ball-carrier has rushed for 735 yards so far this season and seven touchdowns, hitting the 100-yard mark twice. He’s averaging an impressive 8.4 yards per carry and brings easy D1-caliber talent. He’s tough to tackle, he’s productive, and could see another Prep Redzone rankings boost in the winter update.

Another Middle Georgia back having an outstanding sophomore season, Pendleton runs bigger than his 5-foot-10 180-pound frame and knows how to power through defenders at the second level. He’s a patient runner who finds the hole and runs through it with mean intentions. He brings above-average speed, runs with balance, and consistently keeps the chains moving. One of the more productive sophomore backs in the area, Pendleton has been lighting up the stat sheet so far in 2026, carrying the ball 70 times for 628 yards and six touchdowns. He’s been tough to tackle, rushing for an average of nine yards per carry. He’ll be ranked toward the top of the Middle Georgia backs when the next 2029 rankings are updated. Look for Pendleton to push for All-Region honors and possibly see some offers come his way in the off-season.
