Atticus Goodson Atticus Goodson 6'0" | 220 lbs | RB Independence | 2022 State WV | 6’1″ 220 lbs | RB | Independence
A two-sport athlete who plays baseball as well as football. Our NO.1 rated running back is a bruiser who can run in between the tackles and carrier the pile with him into the endzone. He could probably carrier the entire defense on his back, that’s how much strength this guy has. Speed is great for his size and he has a nasty stiff arm.

Jeremiah King Jeremiah King 6'1" | 200 lbs | RB Robert C. Byrd | 2022 State WV | 6’1″ 200 lbs | RB | Robert C. Byrd
Another two-sport athlete who plays just as well on the court as he does on the gridiron. Jeremiah has breakaway speed and every time he touches the ball he is looking for a touchdown, not a first down. Shows great balance on his feet and can break wimpy arm tackles. I think he has room to add more mass which can be done easily at the next level and be a dominant back.
Shawn James Shawn James 6'0" | 180 lbs | RB Capital | 2022 State WV | 6’0″ 180 lbs | RB | Capital
The Capital football star has good size, speed, and quickness. His game needs a little improvement in certain areas. However, he can find the holes. exploit them and shows great vision as a ball carrier.
Bryson Fleming Bryson Fleming 6'0" | 180 lbs | RB Washington | 2022 State WV | 6’0″ 180 lbs | RB | Washington
The Washington football team had a two-headed monster backfield with graduate Frankie Amore Frankie Amore 5'10" | 155 lbs | QB Washington | 2021 State WV and Fleming. Both combined for a nearly 2,000-yard season with Fleming contributing 613 yards rushing and 6 touchdowns on the year. Next season Fleming will be given the reins in the backfield and will be expected to put up a thousand-yard season. One to watch and keep your eye on.
Isaiah Smith Isaiah Smith 5'8" | 185 lbs | RB Lincoln County | 2022 State WV | 5’8″ 185 lbs | RB | Lincoln County
A little undersized but don’t let his size full you, this running back can break tackles and shows great lower body strength. He won’t win many foot races but he can make defenders miss with great lateral moves and a dangerous spin move. Three-year starter on varsity and has put up an impressive career with over 1600 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns.
Ryan Simms Ryan Simms 5'7" | 155 lbs | RB Liberty-Raleigh | 2022 State WV | 5’7″ 155 lbs | RB | Liberty-Raleigh
Last but not least we have a quick back who can make runs to the outside on toss plays and run the ball up the sideline. A little undersized, Simms is however, he can produce consistently and earned his way onto our top running back recruits the state has to offer. Most definitely a division II or similar type of prospect.
