was out with an injury, Dent filled in and did a great job. He and Mickens both make a great 1-2 punch at running back. Harrisburg plays Manheim Township. Township has the talent and experience to give Harrisburg a game. Dent will need to be at his best to get the win. I would not count him out at all because he is that good a player.

. Well, Mickens has been hurt most of the season, so Dent has stepped up in a big way for Harrisburg. Dent has great vision as a running back. He sees the holes well, then he has the speed to go inside and make defenders miss. His ability to jump cut and go from one gap to the next is impressive. He also has the physical ability to make defenders miss. Dent is having a great season for Harrisburg.

, but he is a talented prospect as well. Filling in for Mickens, who was hurt against rival Bishop McDevitt on Saturday, Dent took over and rushed for 2 touchdowns during the game. Dent is an explosive running back who can score anytime he touches the ball. He was a huge weapon for Harrisburg on Saturday and going forward.

is a difference-making running back who transferred from Cedar Cliff to Harrisburg this offseason. He has a natural quickness and burst that is rare to see for running backs. His ability to make defenders miss in space and then race to the end zone is excellent. He should be able to get carriers when

is someone I have been writing about and hyping up in the off-season because the buzz has been that he is a breakout star. Well for week one he showed he belonged on the high school level. He rushed for 187 yards and two touchdowns in the 50-30 win over Red Land. Dent is such a natural and explosive athlete that this is the start of something big for him.

has a ton of potential as a game-changing running back for Cedar Cliff. He doesn’t have any film from last year, but a ton of people have vouched for how talented he is as a player. I expect he be a contributor this season for Cedar Cliff. Below is what my colleague
Vic Castillo
Vic
Castillo
RB

said about him earlier this year:
“Will provide a deeper eval at a later time. Formerly out of Trinity, now at Cedar Cliff. I’ll admit, Dent’s current ranking comes because of rumblings I’ve heard about his skills from trusted sources. The young man doesn’t have a freshman tape up on Hudl, which is almost always a no-no for me. That being said, I’ve heard from trusted coaches that the kid carries serious athletic potential. Want to see more this coming Fall if I’m going to keep him here moving forward”.

has limited film from last year but flashed good skills at running back. He shows a good burst in the hole and does a good job of making defenders miss. When Dent gets into the open field, he has the speed to separate from defenders. Dent also showed the ability to play as an outside linebacker and does a nice job playing in space. Dent is an exciting player who should be an even bigger contributor next season.
