Expert Analysis
Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A do-it-all athlete who shined in all phases of the game last year as a sophomore, Durden may play in the secondary at the next level, but he also showed this fall that he’s one of Middle Georgia’s top small-town rushers from the 2025 season. Another speedy, elusive back who can be tough to catch in the open field, Durden ran for an impressive 606 yards on just 73 carries with six touchdowns. He’s a natural athlete with quick feet, vision, and the ability to run for a. big gain anytime he has the ball. He averaged an impressive 8.3 yards per carry and should see more carries come his way next year as a junior.

Read EvaluationMatt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A do-it-all small-town athlete who can do just about anything for his Jeff Davis team, Durden is an electric playmaker with the ball on offense and a true playmaker with a nose for the ball on defense. He plays hard, he’s one of the fastest players in the region, and has been a major weapon all over the field this fall as a sophomore. Defensively, Durden’s natural athleticism and strong hands have been on full display as he’s picked off five passes so far this season. He’s also made 37 tackles and forced one fumble while accounting for over 500 yards on offense. He’s having a fantastic second season and will be an easy addition to the next 2029 Prep Redzone rankings.
