Future National recruit.

Zachary Belyeu Zachary Belyeu 6'0" | 210 lbs | RB North Cobb | 2028 State GA is coming off a fantastic freshman season, where he finished with nearly 1000 yards on the ground during the regular season despite sharing RB duties. Belyeu is far more advanced physically than your typical freshman RB. He is incredibly stout and strong, allowing him to truck defenders in the open field and stay on his feet through contact. He is explosive as well, making him tough to catch in short areas and providing enough burst to make his own yards in the open field. He holds an offer from App State, and I predict more offers to come his way after an elite freshman season. I expect Belyeu to get plenty of run in the playoffs, starting this weekend against a south GA Camden County squad.

Zachary Belyeu Zachary Belyeu 6'0" | 210 lbs | RB North Cobb | 2028 State GA is one of the best freshmen in the state this fall, and he proved it against Cherokee.

Belyeu’s combination of explosiveness and size allows him to power through defenders and stay on his feet through contact. Late in the first half, he dropped his shoulder and trucked a defender for a loud TD run. Belyeu has an early offer from Appalachian State, but I imagine more and more FBS schools will get involved as he continues to dominate stiff competition despite his age.
