RB Eric Gray - Memphis (Tenn.) - Lausanne Collegiate

Evaluation: The 5-foot-10, 185-pounder is pretty electric and has put up crazy numbers the past two season rushing 3,151 yards and 45 touchdowns as a junior and 2,215 rushing yards and 38 touchdowns as a sophomore. He is a pretty diverse back as he can also catch the football. He is a two-time Gatorade Player of the Year and won back-to-back state title game MVPs. He makes good cuts and has great burst to cash in big plays. Gray will need to add some weight to his frame to take a pounding coming out of the backfield in the SEC. Think of Gray as a multi-functional weapon in any offense as he could also line up some in the slot if needed.

Recruiting Note: Mississippi State is considered to be one of the top programs also in the hunt for Gray.

RB Marcus Major - Oklahoma City (Okla.) Millwood

Evaluation: Major is a well-rounded running back prospect who has great hips and the ability to make swift cuts in the open field to make defenders miss. He can run over you if needed, and that will become more of a strength for him as he gets into a college strength and conditioning program. He has good frame potential. What I like bout his game is that he is not looking to just take it to the outside. he can pick up yards in the middle of the field. Major is not an absolute speed burner, but he has good feet and vision to set u defender and he is not an easy guy to tackle.

Recruiting Note: Arkansas is one of the top seven for Major, but Oklahoma is considered to be a major threat in this one and is very close to home.

RB Darwin Barlow - Newton (Texas)

Evaluation: The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder is one of the most physically impressive RBs in the state of Texas in the 2019 cycle and his style would fit in well at an SEC school. He reads his blocks well and has a good understanding of when to cut it up and when to stretch the plays out. He is not tested as much as he can run over or around players who he matches up with in high school, but he is one of the strongest running backs around and that will be evident as he escapes arm tackles and runs through and over tacklers on the collegiate level. He has a low center of gravity, but is a long-strider and pretty smooth once he gets in the open field. He helped lead his team to a state title in 2017.

Recruiting Note: Arkansas is in the mix with schools like Baylor, TCU and possibly even Oklahoma State in this race.

RB A'Montae Spivey - Phenix City (Ala.) Central

Evaluation: Spivey did not put up the insane amount of offensive numbers that these other running backs produced, but he has tremendous close quarters quickness and is a beast at 6-foot-1, 200. Not very many running backs could be described as quick-twitch at his size, but on film he certainly looks like it. The first clip on his highlight reel may be my favorite clip of any of the backs listed here. He will have to clean his game up some and waste less movement, but once he hits his stride in that part of his development he could be quite special, take a look at clip four for an example... He makes two quick cuts and then he is gone. That is a running back who could play for anybody.

Recruiting Note: Arkansas has done a great job of getting in early here and he plans a June visit.
