Top Running Backs in NC

[wossa]

I told ya'll Baker's the best. There might just a few faster but there are none that bring the total package of speed, strength, footwork and field vision as Toney Baker. Damn I am looking forward to watching him for two more years at Ragsdale.

these are post combine rankings from NCHSFootball.com. They have Baker ranked #2 player in the state in their preseason elite 101 behind only Demario Pressley, Dudleys monster defensive lineman.

He's not on the list but sophmore Brandon Jackson from Burns will be by the time he's a senior. He's very strong and athletic.

I've seen him up close and in person so I know he's the real deal. He was even the topic of some conversation at Crest practice the other day. Most of the gentlemen on the hill believe he's a pro quality back.
