One of the few bright spots on the evening for Marion and the first of two sophomore tailbacks we’ll discuss on this list, Logan Hendricks Logan Hendricks 5'11" | 190 lbs | LB/RB Marion | 2028 IA runs the ball hard. On a night where the Wolves struggled to move the ball, Hendricks provided some relief for the offense, and ran the ball decisively. He may not have broken one for a big gain or a touchdown, but Hendricks is a powerful runner of the football, and he’s got a bright future ahead as a tailback and as a linebacker for Marion. Projecting to the next level, he’ll best fit as a linebacker.

Hendricks has made the most of his first varsity opportunity in 2025. The sophomore ranked among his team’s leaders in tackles (15.0), solo tackles (10) and tackles for loss (2.5) through the season’s first three contests. He also recorded a sack and forced three fumbles, recovering one. Hendricks chipped in on offense with eight carries for 43 yards. Not yet with highlights from this season on-line, we checked in on his freshman clips. They feature him carrying the ball quite a lot. In that role, we see the speed and athleticism that aids him as a defender. The clips of him operating on defense confirm that and show a young man flying to the football with bad intentions.
