Top RB's In TN

[Dodrill22]

gaston miller without a doubt.... speed, power, and agility.... it's always fun to watch 11 defenders chasing him down the field... but then again most of them have already had their legs broken by a juke move by miller

I believe I've only seen one Class 1-A runner mentioned.

 

Who are some of the top runners at that level?

Look for Colton Morris from Jo Byrns to be one of the top 1-A running backs this year. Although not a big back, has good speed and and sees the field well.

The best tandem is by far Dustin Lindsey and Chris Shiverdecker from Alcoa.

The guys up front are a major factor in determing who is the best. Gotta have blocking.

I think Ryan Tallent from Maryville is up there. He had to share his rushing duties with other RB's, but he is not selfish which makes him even better.

Josh Hendrix of McEwen should do pretty good. true he will have alot of attempts. but who cares lol.

I agree with Marshall and Lindsey. You would have to add Gulmire from OR also. Although, I believe OR is going to pass more this season, than they have in the past. What about Cobb from Fulton. Bet he'll get more carries this year than in the past. Watch out, train coming through!!

I wanna throw something at you. Sheffield from beech could be the best back in the state.!! If he had Riverdales line he would be Mr. Football. I know you guys talk about the best back but the best back is nothing without a line!! Put sheffield on any of the top teams you guys have mentioned and he would be as good or better!!!

I don't know if Sheffield is the best, but he is a very good back who is way underrated. I think, pound for pound, the best RB's in this state are Dustin Lindsey, Preston Brown, and Graig Cooper. The big time college coaches sure think that these are the best and I'll agree with them. UT just doesn't give out scholly's and Lindsey has one. Brown is so good, he was splitting carries with an High School All-American for two years.....nuff said. And Cooper is a versatile back. No offense to any of the other quality backs in the state, and there are plenty, but these three, with Edward Sawyer closing in fast, are Tennessee's best. Let me say that I love Gaston Miller's game, but doesn't every Riverdale RB run for 9,000,000 yards. Ditto for Oak Ridge's Gulmire, yeah he's good, but a lot of people have been really good in that system for a long time. The things I look for in a great RB are vision, balance, cutting ability, and the ability to be physical at the point of attack. When your team is as dominant as Riverdale or OR, rarely does the RB have to exhibit vision and physicality. Pound for pound, I think Preston Brown is Tennessee's best RB. He's fast, has exceptional balance, and can cut on a dime. Plus, the kid is tough as nails. Everybody knows he's going to get 25-30 touches in a cro-magnom offense and they still can't stop him.
