Messiah Burch Messiah Burch 5'10" | 170 lbs | RB Monsignor Farrell | 2023 State NY out of Monsignor Farrell in Staten Island is not only one of the best uncommitted players in the five boroughs but one of the best players overall. Burch averaged an incredible 12.9 yards per carry in his Junior Season. Burch is a big play threat with elite breakaway speed. Burch may not have the power or ideal size but he makes up for it with incredible patience and acceleration through the hole. He does not get caught up with making defenders miss and is one of the most direct backs in the entire state. His ability and understanding to go north and south while pateintly allowing holes to open as play develops is much further along than you would expect from a high school back. Burch was able to showcase his skills regularly as the top back in a committee of running backs at Monsignor Farrell. Mosignor Farrell had four players all register at least 49 carries last season led by Burch with 78. The three backs who were alongside Burch all graduated last year so expect Burch to have one of the best running back seasons you will see in the entire state of New York. Still uncommitted Burch is sitting on 23 division I offers with notable programs such as Temple, Army, Navy, and Buffalo. With a big season Burch could welcome even more division I programs into his recruitment and potentially some Power 5 schools that are looking to add speed in the backfield.
