I broke down the 2027 scouting classes in my early summer scouting series, and the room has a ton of potential with a long list of potential standout players. I broke down the offense and defense in articles and I suggest reading those for a broad aspect of the room.
These rankings are extremely early, and they will evolve over not only the summer but the next 8-10 months throughout the season, and into draft season. Some lists will feature 10, 15, 20, or more ranked prospects but I’ll include others on the list below to note
- Kewan Lacy, Ole Miss – 5’11, 200, Jr
- Lacy broke out in 2025 leading the FBS in attempts with 306 logging 1567 yards, 24 TD, and another 177 receiving yards. He’s an electric athlete, has a ton of juice in his lower body, good initial movement skills, and Lacy shows good long speed. Lacy shows good vision, can work in contact, has balance control, and he shows a ton of ability to turn negative plays into chunk plays. Slightly undersized, Lacy does still possess quality strength and an ability to break through tackles while being one of the best runningback prospects in recent years in terms of creativity.
- Antwan Raymond, Rutgers – 5’11, 205, Jr
- I’m ahead of the curve on Raymond, but he’s going to explode up draft boards this year. As a sophomore he posted 244 attempts for 1241 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He’s an extremely explosive runner, has a ton of initial movement skills, and his ability to create in space is going to be an immediate impact at the next level. Raymond’s long speed is legitimate, he has great vision, and Raymond can also be a crucial factor on third down with adequate receiving skills but strong pass protection skills. Raymond is undersized, but the ability to run in space, play with creativity, and he’ll be a possible first round pick come next April.
- Jadan Baugh, Florida – 6’1, 235, Jr
- Baugh is a massive back, and he plays with good speed and agility as well. Baugh had 220 attempts for 1170 yards, and eight touchdowns as a sophomore and Baugh shows a ton of upside as a back. He’s extremely athletic, has an explosive first step, runs with pure power, and he shows exceptional vision as well. The long speed isn’t present with Baugh, but he’ll work well in both gap & zone systems. Baugh has great foot speed, balance, and hip flexibility that helps him thrive in short yardage situations to dip through contact. Baugh will punish defenders, he shows average long speed, but can be a consistent 4.4 – 4.6 average runner in his career. Baugh also shows a ton of upside on third downs, he’s a freak athlete, can run quality routes, and works well with the ball in his hands.
- Isaac Brown, Louisville – 5’9/190 Jr
- Brown saw a dip in his production for 2025,...
