TOP 2026 RB RECRUIT ADRIAN SYMALLA
RB Adrian Symalla
Arvada West HS
(CO)
5'10",190
GPA - 3.9
2026 TOP RB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2026 RB recruit Adrian Symalla exploded onto the scene of Colorado Varsity HS football during his freshman varsity campaign as one of the grittiest & most explosive ball carriers in the class of 2026, who has the durability & powerful frame to become a dominating workhorse back in the world of college football now! Smyalla is able to rapidly burst through the defensive front after identifying the proper running lane and is one of the most captivating runners in the open field when using subtle changes of speed & a nifty repertoire of finesse moves to make defenders miss. He does an excellent job at bouncing the ball to the edge of the defense with his electrifying 4.5 speed and is not afraid to lower his shoulder to power through would-be tacklers to pick up tough yards after contact. Adrian is also very adept in pass protection and is able to create a low base to gain leverage with excellent hand placement, while keeping quick and choppy feet to mirror much larger pass rushers. His supreme cat-like reflexes when identifying cut-back lanes is truly special at this juncture of his very young career & Symalla is capable of producing positive yardage plays when all seems lost as his dynamic style of running is the best I have witnessed on tape since evaluating Christian McCaffrey at Valor Christian HS in my former home of Colorado. New Top 2026 RB recruit Adrian Symalla has a ridiculously high ceiling as far as overall potential as a top running back recruit & has been added to the College Football Now 2026 Top Football Recruit Rankings for the next national re-rank for CFB recruiters to evaluate his excellent overall body of work nationally!

TOP 2026 RB RECRUIT CALVIN WHITE
RB Calvin White
Berrien Springs HS
(MI)
5'7", 185
GPA - 3.0
2026 TOP RB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Explosiveness defines Calvin White's game. With lightning-fast acceleration and top-end speed, he can quickly reach the second level of the defense and break away for big gains. His burst off the line of scrimmage allows him to hit holes with authority and quickly leave defenders in the dust on his way to pay-dirt. Calvin White possesses outstanding lateral quickness and is capable of changing direction rapidly, making him hard to gauge in the open field. His ability to make sharp cuts on a dime enables him to navigate through traffic and evade would-be tacklers with ease. White consistently churns his legs upon contact, fighting for every yard and is able to plow through would-be-tacklers to chew up massive chunks of yardage. His low center of gravity and exceptional balance enable him to absorb hits and maintain his footing, allowing him to maximize his yardage after contact. Calvin also excels on the defensive side of the ball & has the skill-set to become a superior nickel-back at the next level with his explosive ball hawking skills. With his combination of speed, agility, power, and versatility, he has the potential to be a game-changer in any offensive scheme at the collegiate level and White has been added to the 2026 top football recruits at College Football Now!
