Stat Line: 21 rushes, 224 rushing yards, four touchdowns

Remember how I mentioned that Sully was going to be a 2026 RB you were going to need to circle in 11AA on my Preseason All-State Team? He proved why last week against 11AAA Rapid City Stevens, going for four big touchdowns against the Raiders defense. Sully rushed for nearly 11 yards per carry and watching back the tape their were several chunk plays that saw him break free. Shoutout to the Scoopers offenisve linemen as Sully had some solid lanes to run thru, but I was impressed with the enhanced amount of yards he gained after contact as I would love to see what that number was last week in Rapid City. He has seen growth in his senior season with how fluid he has become with his inside runs that fly up the A-gap as Sully certainly is showing more durability on tape thus far this season as a senior backer still waiting on his first offer!

The 5’10 now 195 pounder from Sturgis Brown is a 2026 running back that surprises me hasn’t gotten next-level attention yet in this class, but one that I feel should make his mark for the Scoopers in the 2025 season. Sully in my eyes has more instinctive chnage of direction than he gets credit for as the amount of times as a junior where he hit his cut and got to the open field with ease. Another under the radar skillset Sully has is his power he can generate thru contact, as I feel in the 2025 season we are going to see more of it being that he’s added good frame since last season. He’s one with no offers, that should catch some attention from Dakotas schools this fall.

Sully was one of my favorite 2026 Stockrisers when we updated our rankings last time as one that the change of direction and burst comes out at the ideal time to gain seperation quickly on his junior tape to again, show off a finisher that hammers his transition with his vision early. Yet another running back that can operate in tight windows, but amps up on tape with his durability getting yards after contact in my eyes. Sully is a tailback that can turn a nothing play for some running backs into something with his explosiveness within the inside box which puts him as RB4 but another one that could be trending upwards by next upate.

Talk about a young man that has really risen as a rankings riser in this 2026 class, as we meet Sturgis Brown running back Sully Jost Sully Jost 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Sturgis Brown | 2026 State SD who is up if I recall 30-40 spots from our last 2026 update. Sully is a firecracker in the Scoopers backfield and has excellent vision that he utilzes early on the first level and it sets a steady tone for the rest of his runs. The vision also is huge for me when evaluating running backs especially ones that excel like Sully does in very tight windows and I love his suddenness using his burst which shows another gear of speed when he sees the open field. I also love this young man’s durability after contact as the 5’10 180 pound West River tailback is having a mosnter season thus far and yet again, another that spent his Spring with us at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Combine.
