Expert Analysis
Matt Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
Another team off to a fast start this season is the Independence Patriots, in large part due to the play of 2026 ATH Sylas Nelson Sylas Nelson 6'1" | 195 lbs | ATH Independence | 2026 State WV . He’s continued his dominant play at running back from his junior year, where he rushed for nearly 2,000 yards, but Nelson’s ability on defense shouldn’t be overlooked either. That may be where he ends up at the next level with a big, physical body type with high-level athleticism to pair with it. Nelson’s versatility as an athlete is why we consider him a Top 5 ATH in his class, and he’s deserving of a lot of college attention this fall.
