TOP 10 RUNNING BACKS IN ALABAMA
J’marion Burnette, SR, Andalusia Bulldogs
Few tailback prospects in Alabama come as highly touted as the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Auburn commit. The four-star prospect (according to 247sports) has picked up right where he left off in his sophomore and junior year, when he rushed for nearly 3,500 yards.
Jayden Gilbert, SR, Clements Colts
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Gilbert was dynamite in the first two games of the season for Clements, rushing for 645 yards and eight touchdowns. Don’t let his size fool you, either: Gilbert was an elite defensive back last year, and still plays both ways when Clements needs him.
Alvin Henderson, JR, Elba Tigers
Elba’s 5-foot-10, 200-pound back has been one of the most productive RBs in the state this season.
Kamore Harris, SR, B.B. Comer Tigers
There’s not much to dislike about Harris as a college prospect. He’s a 6-foot and 235 pounds between-the-tackles runner who is currently rated as a three-star player by 247sports.com. He’s currently committed to the University of Memphis.
A.J. Lowe, JR, Sulligent Blue Devils
The Blue Devils are off to a 6-0 start, and their explosive, 6-foot 205-pound back has been a key piece of their early success.
Kolton Nero, SR, Foley Lions
Foley’s 6-foot-1, 215-pound back has lit up opposing defenses through the first four games of the season, averaging 241 yards and three touchdowns a game. He recently received a scholarship offer from UAB.
Cameron Phinizee, SO, Russellville Golden Tigers
The only sophomore on our list is also one of the most dynamic backs. At 6-foot and 190 pounds, Russellville’s rising star piled up 862 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns through the first four games of the season.
Kevin Riley, SR, Tuscaloosa County Wildcats
The Miami Hurricanes got a commitment from the Class of 2024, four-star prospect back in June, and they will be lucky to keep him. At 5-11 and 195 pounds, Riley is currently ranked as the ninth-best prospect at any position in the state by 247sports.com.
Mason Teague, SR, Southside (Gadsden) Panthers
He may not have the big-time scholarship offers some of these other guys have, but the production is undeniable.
T.J. Worthy, JR, Gadsden City Titans
Gadsden City has an emerging star with its 5-foot-10, 175-pound feature back.
