The BEST RB in Texas 3A Football [Archive]

Who do you guys have as the absolute BEST 3A RB in the state of Texas?

I'm staying in my district and going with 5'7" 170 lb. Curtis Carter of the Columbus Cardinals. This kid had over 1600 regular season rushing yards, despite being inactive for a couple of games early on.

2nd Place - Garrette Nunn, Bellville Brahmas

Obviously, I don't know of every single 3A RB in the state, so if you guys disagree with me and think I'm overlooking a guy or two, let me know.

Whaley, Pratt, Cantu or Brock.

Okay, the purpose of the title was just to name ONE...the absolute best you can think of. Too many people want to only narrow it down to two or three. Why? I want to know who you think the #1 back is.

(Brock? You can't mean Fitzhenry...he's a QB. He doesn't count.)

(Brock? You can't mean Fitzhenry...he's a QB. He doesn't count.) Might as well be a RB.

Best I've seen has to be Whaley(6'3 220 lbs. 4.4) One of the top prospects in the state.

justin johnson or Jermie Calhoun....ill go with jermie calhoun....since he'll go on as a rb and justin most likely play d. both top recruits in the nation, both going to OU in the fall.

Good Question. My definition of "The Best" is the guy who displays all the qualities you look for in a good RB. Also, the guy that shows the most promise and has the best chance to make it at the next level.

Yes. Sorry, but I wanted to see if Whaley compared to Dean or not.

Footnote: I think a 5A RB who runs for 1600 yds. is more impressive than a 3A RB who runs for 1600 yds., just based on the level of competition and the types of defenses they run against. Agree or disagree?

I'd take a 6'2 220 lbs. 3a RB with 1600 yards over a 5'8" 160 lbs. 5a RB.

I'll go with you on that. I prefer a big, bruising 'between the tackles' runner over the small scatback that darts for the sidelines every time he touches the ball.

What are Whaley's stats?

navscanmaster

11-19-2007, 01:22 AM

Of course, I am a homer and all, but picking Dexter Pratt is not entirely a homer pick. He is big (6'2", 220) and runs a 4.45. He breaks almost any solo tackle attempt, and shrugs off arm tackles like flies on a cows tail. Finished with 1648 yards in ten games, 2 of which he had 45 and 27 yards due to limited play (mainly as a decoy) with a leg injury. First playoff game had 17 carries for 224 yards, 4 TD, and a 78 yard TD reception. He is most dangerous once he builds steam in the secondary, and forget stopping him on a middle screen. Chris Whaley is just as good as Dexter, but sometimes he makes bonehead decisions like running east-west instead of north south. We don't have anymore chances to see Whaley this year, but Dexter will be running against Jasper.

I know it's already been said but Will Clay out of Snyder. 2,000+ yards 25+ tds in the regular season. He is running behind a good o-line so they deserve alot of the credit.

I'll be a homer and say Xavier Cantu he has only played 10 games this season several only played 3Qtrs. only averages about 16 carries a game because of our offense. and I think he has over 1600 yards on the season.
He is also a great blocker, and has made the comment he loves blocking for the other backs....... He had over 200 yards against Columbus....... Columbus fans had a sign that said Xavier Who?
I had to laugh, They had a good running back as well, that is going to Missouri I think...... Don't think I would ever call out a good running back in a play-off game....... The answer to those fans question.... Xavier Cantu 216 yards against Columbus........

RattlerDude

11-19-2007, 10:25 AM

Dexter Pratt without a doubt, then it is definitely Xavier Canto. Of course you are going to have huge rushing numbers such as 250 yards when you get 45-50 carries a game (Chris Whaley).

I know there are several great RB's in 3A, but I would still take the four headed monster that Abilene Wylie runs at you any day.

Maybe someone from Decatur can verify my assessment.

Where did we say 4 RB's from Rockdale deserve to be on the list of the best in the state? Get real fella. Go read who I put down as the best in the state, even though Rockdale does have a pretty good running back that is being recruited. So try that assessment again.

I don't think you can say there are any others ahead of Johnson and Calhoun. The two top recruits in the state, two of the top 20 in the nation.

I try not to be a homer, but I have to put Stanton from Diboll as one of the good ones in 3a.

A player for Center I believe, on another board said he's played against Johnson from Gilmer and among other top RBs and he said

"i've played against both Johnson and James, Ketarus Stanton of Diboll is better than both of them. Both Johnson and James are good backs and hard to take down once they get a full head of steam going but if you get to them early you can bring them down. Stanton just doesn't go down."

218 atts. for 2054 yards. in 11 games.

avg. 20 carries a game; 9 yds a carry ; 186 yds/game

You also have to figure in how hard will these superbacks run after they have been "lit up" a couple of times (when deciding who is the best). We've all seen lots of great ones that fold up like a cheap lawn chair when they get popped. IMO

I don't mean this sarcastically, because I really don't know, but where is Rockdale? I thought I knew, but I was thinking about Rockport.

Terrell Davis was slower than that and he was the LaDanian Tomlinson of the late-90's. Emmitt only ran a 4.6.

I don't think you can say there are any others ahead of Johnson and Calhoun. The two top recruits in the state, two of the top 20 in the nation.

thats because those 4.6 were laser REAL times...all of these times are coaches times so you mine as well as about .3 seconds to all of them...

Some backs have great lines in front of them and I never hear them mentioned no one ever comes on here and post who has the best line in 3A because if the line cannot block well or open up holes then this whole thread is pointless. To me good football is like a bicycle it has many part that work togather take one part away and it's not that good JMO. :thinking:

Will Clay Snyder deserves more respect, he runs harder than any other RB that I have seen...2200 yds 20+ TDs and he prolly averages 10-15 broken tackles a game

Yeah man, Will does deserve more.. but once we get further into the playoffs I think people will start giving him more

i will not say that Justin "bus" Johnson is the best running back in the state. I will say he gained his 1600 or so yards in the first half of every game we played except for last weekend. He averaged around 12 to 15 carries until his monster effort of 30 carries against L/E. I will also say he runs behind the absolute best offensive line in the state in class 3A if not maybe all classes. 3 D1 commitments on the o-line. I don't know of anybody else who has that. I still think justin will be a linebacker at OU, but that is just my opinion.

We led our district in defense this year and allowed 11 pts a game for the season. So I would tend to lean more towards Pratt being "that good" rather than us being "that bad".
