Expert Analysis
Joe Fitzgerald | Prep Redzone Scout
Clairton’s Michael Ruffin Michael Ruffin 5'8" | 165 lbs | RB Clairton | 2026 State PA is a player who first grabbed attention in the WPIAL championship game against Fort Cherry. When the Bears lost their quarterback, the best option for a single-A team with limited depth was to hand the reins to Ruffin in the wildcat. He responded heroically, leading his team to within one point of a win. He ripped off explosive plays where nobody could catch him and almost willed his team to victory. When you go back to the film, it becomes even more clear how special his skillset is. Ruffin is a natural strider who can outrun most defenders with verified 4.4 speed, and he combines that with the elusiveness to make defenders miss without slowing down. Whether lined up wide, in the backfield, or running the wildcat, he finds ways to make big plays. He already holds offers from Gannon and Cal U, but his ceiling suggests that list should grow quickly.
