There are very few players who will be as productive this fall as Valentine. The workhorse back for Whiteland is coming off of a historic season he should build upon. He almost pushed 2000 yards last season strictly on the ground. He then added 20 TDs, but it was the way he did it all last year. Big chunk plays, getting better as the game goes on, and seemingly never running out of energy. He had over 100 yards in every single game and it was never a doubt when they needed a conversion who they went to. Valentine reads his keys, makes a cut, and is very rarely wrong. Some school will get a steal in him and I can’t wait to see where he lands.

Slate Valentine Slate Valentine 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Whiteland | 2025 State IN is an impressive running back who combines power, agility, and vision to excel on the field. Slate’s strength as a downhill runner makes him highly effective in short-yardage and goal-line situations where power running is essential. His ability to shed tackles means he can turn potential short gains into significant plays, adding a tough, physical element to his running style. His shifty running style allows him to navigate through tight spaces and avoid tackles, making him a versatile threat in both open and crowded fields. Slate’s ability to find and exploit small cracks in the defense demonstrates excellent vision and awareness, enabling him to make the most out of each carry. He has established himself as a reliable weapon for his team’s offense and will continue to prove that he deserves an opportunity at the next level.
