is a good athlete who can score anytime he touches the ball. A football coach used to tell me a dynamic athlete is someone you cannot catch in a phone booth, that exactly who Darnell is. His ability to make defenders miss in space is excellent. Either on returns, jet sweeps, or passes, he is electric with the ball in his hands. He isn’t just fast; he has excellent moves to make defenders miss. He is in line for a huge season, and then he should eventually get recruited to play College Football.

was at the Prep Redzone Showcase last year and showed good skills. He did equally well this year, but showing good quickness and a burst. He caught the ball well and excelled all camp. For these reasons, Darnell made 2nd team.

. His tape got him ranked on a loaded 2026 list. His work at 7v7 settings keeps hype alive for the Fall. His performances at our PRZPA camp, along with his performance at this Future Freaks camp, have me finally ready to include Darnell’s name with some of the best in his class. His situation aside,

‘s skillset had some coaches buzzing to know more. Releases with a purpose, fires his feet well, working single or double jab releases, and moving kids early. Darnell sets up to separate really well, yet I’m seeing the kid come down with highly difficult catches through contact downfield. He’s seemingly doing this at every camp he attends. He’s got me in his corner moving forward.

Has quality size for a 2026 running back and shows great speed and athleticism. Dangerous in space, elusive, and has fluid hips. High potentially running back here who could end up at the FBS level. Excited to see how he performs this fall.
