    Early Florida Rushing Leaders Spotlight

    Written by: Drew Johnson (@RealNews102)

    Makael Williams | RB | 2027 | Pace

    Williams currently leads the state in rushing, and it’s easy to see why. He combines size and speed with a smooth running style that produces consistent yardage. His vision stands out, as he quickly identifies lanes and accelerates through them with purpose. Williams looks poised to continue his breakout season.

    Kamari Smith | RB | Lake Wales

    Lake Wales has a true workhorse in Smith. A physical, one-cut runner, he shows toughness between the tackles and vision to hit the right crease. With the Highlanders leaning heavily on him this fall, Smith is trending as one of the top names in Polk County’s backfield group.

    Lavonski Tubbs | RB | Ridge Community

    Tubbs has been the engine for Ridge, and he hasn’t slowed down. Leading Polk in rushing last year, he continues to control tempo with his physical style and ability to wear down defenses. His consistency between the tackles and strong vision could push him into more recruiting conversations this season.

    Aaron Truedell | RB | Lakeland Christian

    Truedell brings a versatile skill set to the table. Not only does he create mismatches in the run game, but he also makes a major impact as a pass-catcher. His advanced footwork and ability to separate were on full display at the 863 Showcase, showing why he’s one of Florida’s more intriguing backs in the 2027 class.

    Hezekiah Davis | RB | Jesuit

    Davis has already flashed as one of the state’s most explosive 2027 prospects. Averaging over 8 yards per carry, he glides effortlessly once he hits the second level. With excellent burst, balance, and footwork, Davis is a big-play threat every time he touches the ball.

    Roe Miller | ATH | 2026 | Zephyrhills

    Miller is the definition of a playmaker. Compact and explosive, he impacts the game in multiple ways—whether as a runner, receiver, or return specialist. His agility and ability to make defenders miss in space give Zephyrhills a dynamic weapon that opposing defenses must respect on every snap.
