It was a tough season for Greenville this year, but there’s no doubt Deering was a bright spot who ran wild at times during the regular season. He’s a big, powerful back who can power through defenders with ease with enough speed to score from anywhere on the field. He ran for a combined 1,667 yards and 12 touchdowns this fall, hitting the 100-yard mark six times. He ran for at least 200 yards in four games and ran for an eye-opening 300+ yards in two games. He absolutely deserves to be added to the latest rankings update, now coming in as the No. 30 RB prospect in the state for his class.

Deering is listed at 6’1 200, but plays with more finesse than you would think at that size. In fact, he is still relatively thin-limbed and can add even more weight to his frame. He is a loose runner who can skate through running lanes and shake defenders. He plays with good vision, both around the line of scrimmage and when running away in space. Deering is an underrecruited senior worthy of some college attention.

A small-town back with quickness, burst, and consistency, Deering is a back who runs hard but brings more speed than you’d expect for someone in the 200-pound range. He’s run for 807 yards and seven touchdowns over his first four games, running for at least 110 yards in three of those games. He’s rushed for at least 200 yards in two games and is coming off a games for the ages over the weekend, rushing for 394 yards and three touchdowns during a big 32-20 win over Mt. Bethel Christian. He’s one of the best backs and overall playmakers in the area who will be an easy addition to the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.
