Xavier Adams, 5-6, 130, RB, 2025, Holt
@xavier_adams06
Speed in the name of the game for this impressive looking weapon from Holt coming up, Adams may not be big but he doesn’t need to be when he has track speed and can beat a defense to the corner and turn up the field for some very big yardage plays and make something out of nothing as he can find those seems in a defense. Reports a 4.64 time in the 40 yard dash laser timed. Will look to be one of the top speed juniors in the lineup for Holt this upcoming 2023 season.
Eric Brock
, 5-8, 175, RB, 2025, Francis Howell Central@EricJBrock
A very tough and rugged fullback from Francis Howell Central, Howell earned All-Conference fullback honors for 2022 and will look to be one of the punishing blockers and runners again in 2023. Brock can also play linebacker and defensive end, brings that pop to the lineup and is one of the tougher pound for pound players we have seen at 175 pounds.
Marcus Burks
, 5-8, 147, RB, 2025, Hazelwood East@MarcusBurks0
One of the rising players coming out of St. Louis, a Hazelwood East player that has the speed to be an impact maker and Burks is getting onto more and more college radars with schools and programs like Nicholls State and Oklahoma Baptist among those looking at the speed threat to know. Burks is a versatile weapon also, has good speed and can either hit the gaps or use some good hands to get down the field and make some of those big catches happen down the field to move the chains.
Leonard Butler
IV, 5-9, 160, RB, 2025, Ruskin@LeonardButler23
Where speed is needed Butler is your man, can play slot and and RB along with corner on the defensive side of the football, Butler brings that extra gear that most guys can’t to the lineup, a player that also can shoot through those holes quickly and has that speed right off the handoff that can make him a very hard man in space to handle and get a good hit on, slippery and elusive with the football in his hands.
Collin Conley, 5-8, 180, RB, 2025, Francis Howell North@Collin_J_Conley
One of the very tough and hard nosed football players on the radar is this Francis Howell North running back and linebacker that is a player that can run you over with the football in his hands, a very hard and tough runner with the football in his hands. His defense was very impressive this year, one of those guys that is ready for the action, a backer that can read and live in the backfield and blow up the play with his speed to the ball and heady playing style on the edges. Also a standout student, Conley reports a 4.1 GPA.
Jaxon Hicks
, 5-8, 150, RB, 2025, Liberty
Hicks has some very good speed, reports a 4.5 time in the 40 yard dash and was one of the running backs that shined at the Midwest Showcase in St. Joseph in December. A player on the verge of doing some very big things this season and one of those guys that can make the big plays happen with his speed in the open field, Hicks is a player that is tough, can use some good hands also, and is one of those runners that is dangerous along the sidelines with his upfield speed to cut up the field and make a big run.
Dylan Macon, 5-11, 180, RB, 2025, John Burroughs@macon_dylan
Speed is there for this very impressive looking John Burroughs standout and speed threat, one of the top pure speed backs we have seen this winter and a standout at the Midwest Showcase in December, Macon is the agility and quickness out of the backfield that will take him a long way and expect a big junior season in 2023 from this fast and good footwork back to know. Has elusive speed, and can make the game look easy at times with that kind of speed.
Silas Midgyett
, 5-10, 215, RB, 2025, Chillicothe@MidgyettSilas
Has been a very good player since his freshman season in which he was a tenacious linebacker at Chillicothe and had 65 tackles and five sacks, and brings that same power and speed to the backfield on the offensive side of the football as well. One of the more talented looking two way athletes in the class of 2025 and a player that packs a punch at 215 pounds, Midgyett reports a time of 4.87 in the 40 yard dash and shows impressive power also with a reported 300 pound bench. Also a standout student, he reports a 4.0 GPA.
Nate Reynolds, 5-7, 175, RB, 2025, Harrisonville@Nate_Reynolds25
What more could you really ask for in a football player that what Reynolds has brought the the Harrisonville program. Last season Reynolds had 1723 total yards, 9.52 yards per carry, 24 total touchdowns, and was named the MRVC All-Conference First Team and All-District First team along with being named a Harrisonville Offensive Player of the year. Big things are in store for one of the hottest players out there, a offensive firepower that is looking to do more damage in 2023.
Noah Ridgel
, 5-9, 170, RB, 2025, Lift for Life@NoahRidgel9
A very impressive looking athlete and running back from Lift for Life in St. Louis, has speed to be one of the more dangerous names to know in St. Louis. Ridgel reports a 40 yard dash time of 4.58 and reports a 33 inch vertical also, one of those running backs that can make the big runs happen with his electric speed up the field, a very good change of pace runner, and one of those guys that has that extra gear of speed to change direction and keep going for big runs.
Messiah Smith
, 5-9, 155, RB, 2025, Parkway North@Messiahsmith8
One of the hottest back and slot athletes in St. Louis, Smith went off for 938 yards and five touchdowns in 2022 and was one of the super sophomores on the radar in St. Louis that really impressed us in a big way. Smith is a running back that is very fast getting to the next level, has that burst and explosive speed and gear that can get him 7-8 yards up the field in the blink of an eye, a quick runner that is in and out of the lanes and can make you miss.
