Continue ReadingWith the 2020 season starting, I’m spotlighting Running Back prospects from every classification in Florida. Today we look at the 5A District 4 area which is loaded with talent from the Jacksonville and North Florida area. Big time players and some under the radar prospects are spotlighted below!
Jalen Holmes- Yulee
6’0 175lbs
Holmes is a really good prospect, he is a slashing style runner shows natural instincts, cut back vision, and burst to get through holes, also does a good job of showing patience allowing his blocks to set up. Has really good speed to get to the corner and turn it up for big gains. He also is very good in the passing game. He’s a legitimate 3-down back.

J’Caidyn Albertie- Yulee c/o 22
5’10 205lbs
Albertie forms a nice 1-2 punch with Holmes, he is a nicely built power back that runs with power and forward lean. Runs with a natural low center of gravity and has excellent balance, vision, and burst. Very light on his feet, consistently bounces off tacklers, also has good quickness to get through the hole. Very nice prospect.

Martranius Mack RB/FB/ATH- Ribault
5’8 190lbs
Mack is a do it all player for Ribault that plays both ways, he’s a power back despite his size that churns out tough yards, but he is also excellent in the passing game. Showing agility, quickness, and natural hands, he leads the team in receptions and yards. He’s a natural athlete that could play multiple positions at the next level.

Stephen Ikeokwu- Paxson School c/o 23
5’10 195lbs
Ikeokwu is an under-the-radar prospect that had a very good season as a freshman last year. He has good quickness through the hole and has the ability to dart through tight spaces and has nice vision, and acceleration to get into the open field. Reads blocks very well and hits the hole without any hesitation. Has good top end speed.
