2023 All-American running back Dante Dowdell is a human bulldozer when smashing his way through traffic and also possesses the breakaway speed to skedaddle his way to pay dirt. Dowdell uses a repertoire of power & finesse moves to move the chains, but his brutalizing stiff arm is nearly impossible to defend against with his supreme agility while dancing through traffic. His acceleration when motoring downhill after receiving the football is capable of picking up quick needed yards as both a triple option fullback and/or in any traditional power football set, which will enable a very well rested defense as his team moves the ball at will down the field of play. His initial first step is decisive toward the proper running lane per play design, but his ability to quickly change direction to find the right hole when one lane collapses is some of the best I have witnessed in the 2023 football recruiting class. Dowdell proves to be a bruising back that can wear a defensive front down for four quarters and will be highly recruited in the class of 2023 as a Scout Trout & College Football Today All-American RB recruit!

2023 ARMY ALL-AMERICAN RB MYLES ARTERBERRY
Scout Trout Elite 2023 Army football All-American Myles Arterberry will fit perfectly in Coach Monken's ground & pound triple-option offense and is arguably the strongest running back I have had the pleasure to evaluate in person at the 2021 All-American Bowl game. Myles was able to prove he was not just a "scat back" a few years back in San Antonio, Texas during the Covid-19 pandemic and is one of the toughest young men I have worked with throughout my lifetime scouting & attempting to replicate top echelon human beings in the sport of American football.

Freshman season scouting report - Arterberry had a phenomenal freshmen season at Klein HS in Texas and was able to rush for a total of 1,232 yards, while averaging 16.6 yards per carry as a true freshmen! Myles is a very explosive football player in the return game and coming out of the backfield. He possesses excellent athletics for his age and has a very powerful downhill running style that will be producing more impressive stats in Texas HS Football. I love the vision that Myles shows when setting up his blocks and he is one of the most talented 2023 football recruits I have seen in the nation with his exceptional speed. More coming soon on Arterberry, along with our 2023 National recruit ranking at College Football Today.

Gavin proves to be a very patient runner after receiving the handoff & demonstrates excellent ball carrier vision when identifying the proper running lanes and is able to quickly burst up the field with his outstanding overall acceleration for huge chunks of yardage. Once Brown is in the open the field he possesses the game changing top end speed to pull away from defenders and is very hard to gauge as a defender with his crafty in & out style of running. He is outstanding at hitting the hole quickly per play design & has an innate ability to locate the cut-back lane and change his course of direction rapidly. 2023 HS All-American RB Gavin Brown also is a stellar return man and his overall body of work at Corner HS in Alabama reminded my of watching Christian McCaffery back in the day at Valor Christian, as Brown is truly a remarkable talent who has a limitless amount of potential in the world of College Football Now! Brown possesses all-purpose back play-making capabilities that are combined with the ability to also be an every down back with his powerfully built frame and move the chains consistently while wearing down the defense. New top 2023 RB recruit Gavin Brown has been added to the College Football Now 2023 Top 1000+ Football Recruit Rankings & has accepted his nomination as a 2023 All-American RB for the 2023 All-American Bowl in Panama City Beach, Florida!
