Schettini is one of the best self-made prospects in GA, breaking onto the radar almost purely with just his production. It is refreshing to watch, and he has emerged as one of the best at the position in the 2028 class. He has a low center of gravity, twitchy in the short areas, and burns sub-11 in the 100M. He is a well-covered player for us here in GA, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will just be quiet and ask that you watch the tape here to understand the intrigue.

Schettini is someone who did very well just a season ago, as he was second among all running backs in the class of 2028 inside the state of Georgia when it comes to rushing yards. He finished with nearly 1,500 yards and is by far one of the better players in the class when it comes to running the ball. If he continues to grow as a prospect, he will be someone who finds his way to college on a scholarship, as he is someone I view as a top prospect. Schettini is someone everyone needs to keep an eye out for when it comes to the 2026 high school football season.

Schettini is one of the best 2028 RBs in Georgia, and he has produced like it early on in his career. He is well-covered by us here at Prep Redzone, so here’s a look at my most recent write-up of his from this past fall:

“Schettini has been the engine offensively for Northgate this year and continues to develop into one of the best 2028 backs in Georgia. He holds his frame with a low center of gravity and stout legs. His foot speed and short-area twitch are impressive, helping him jump around chaos in congested areas and search for open grass. Schettini is a sub-11 runner in the 100M and a school record holder, so once he finds grass, he can lift off. Schettini has an argument to be the biggest breakout RB in the state this fall, and it’s a matter of time before he generates major recruiting attention.”

Schettini is still underrated, but won’t be for long if he continues to perform like he did to kick off his sophomore season.

A shifty, explosive back from the Newnan area who ran like a seasoned veteran last yeart, Schettini is a quick, agile back who was tough to corral last season as a freshman. In just five games, the talented back ran for 414 yards and four touchdowns. However, most of his damage was done in just two games.
