Ranking 2025 Running Backs (Summer Scouting) | NFL Stock Exchange

[@mattcurrin493]

Nothing gets me jazzed in the summer like the idea of how good of a early day 3 value a running back could be in ten months

[@Lucmanmyhre]

Gets me going better than pre workout

[@DaRedDragonFromDrakengard]

Honestly the boys (and bootleg) coming back just as teams break until late july is perfect timing. An oasis of great content in these dry weeks.

It's crazy trevor and connor are married to each other finally

Love coming back to these and seeing how on the money they were on a few of their evaluations. (ex. Ashton Jeanty)

[@peytondunn4119]

glad im not the only one who did that for jeanty

[@mouradgalal9852]

I was promised that I'd be told where Jonathan Brooks would fall in this years list, I feel lied to smh. Jokes aside love this episode and cant wait for Jeanty to emerge from the pack as the true RB1 for this year!

[@time4seconds]

Was wondering if I missed it or something!

[@TampaBayTre]

GDI for me it would be: 1. Judkins 2. Hampton 3. Jeanty 4. Brooks 5. Gordon

[@imjedi75]

Dawg you don’t know how many times i looked through this vid thinking I missed it lmao

[@hunter_larson8]

Little Mario and Luigi needed some size up shrooms trying to stop Ashton Jeanty

Hahaha omg so good

MOMMA MIAAAAA

[@SynapseFire]

Man, jeanty is pretty good huh.

[@BimbleSKOL]

I feel like the biggest question from this episode is not about running backs. It's whether Connor is attempting to grow a moustache?

[@redbumblebee4951]

I saved all the summer scouting to watch at once. I am starting now, and I will watch them all over the next 7 days.

[@astrys5158]

beatlejuice ahhhh background for trevor

[@michaelbeale559]

He should get a Betelguese background instead! (It's a star over 700 times larger than the Sun and reflects how big of a star Trevor is!)

OMARION HAMPTON BABY LETS GO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YALL TO TALK ABOUT THIS FREAKSHOW

[@rickygeiger1243]

Do agree with Hendersons injury risk but 2 notes on him. He actually played WR until at least his junior season in HS, he's wildly underutilized in the pass game. He was electric on screens his freshman year and they just don't throw them anymore. Basicallt no one seems to know the story on Judkins, so here it is... he was pissed at Ole Miss because he's their star player name wise and I think they spent a bunch of NIL money to bring guys in and didn't have enough to pay him enough in respect to what they paid for others. 2 kids in his class transferred to OSU last year (including Davidson igbonosun who started at boundary corner) and they're close friends. He entered the portal quickly, called him, told him he wanted to go to Ohio State. Davidson told OSU coaches, they reached out, he said I wanna come. They're like well, we think treveyon is going to come back, I assume you thought he was leaving? And he was like I don't care I want to come either way. They then called treveyon and said hey, we know you're leaning towards coming back, quinshon judkins wants to come here and says he wants to come either way. Henderson entered Ohio State's recruiting class with the #5 RB recruit in the country (he was #1) and they both actively talked about limiting tread for the NFL as being a big reason they'd both committed). Treveyon told the coaches he'd love it if judkins came. They told judkins he's in. Judkins got paid well afterwards, but it wasn't an NIL thing, that's why he was never truly connected to *any* other schools. If you are an NIL kid, you shop yourself and make teams worry. OSU finally started using NIL like 6 months ago, but a lot of their portal wins were less NIL than people seem to believe, they just had the money afterwards to pay them their going rate. Julian Sayin, #1 rated QB transferred from Bama after 2 weeks when saban retired, along with caleb downs. OSU was the runner up in each of their recruitments and particularly with Sayin, he reached out to OSU, told him he wanted in, OSU coaches didn't want to take him at first (they had gotten air noland 2 weeks prior and he was their QB2 of the class on their board 2 weeks ago). Day *LOVED* sayin though (I talked to a guy covering recruiting who had spoken to day at a camp before sayings junior year and has other ties to OSU. He mentioned at that time how much they loved him. Eventually decided hey, we want good players. We will figure out how it changes other plans later, but he also wasn't an NIL guy

[@rickygeiger1243]

(Also, he broke a rib in 2023, that was the injury, he looked 100% the last like 3 weeks. More like 2021)

[@jonathonkane7638]

Man I love this channel, football is back… kinda… not really but we’re getting close!!

[@julianweinberg8583]

Loaded RB class. Offers a bit of everything (power, speed, etc) but definitely lots of "weight room" guys as you like to say haha. Fortunately for Henderson and Judkins, in sharing a RB room, their bodies won't have to take a huge toll this upcoming season. Trevor, I also love the comps you've been doing. Helps me further grasp these players after learning about some of them for the first time.

[@jacobschwartz7785]

Best part about this Ep is that the Draft Sim is getting blurbs early. I remember signing up for PFF at Thanksgiving bc the 1.0 of the draft guide was out. I can't wait to see the board grow and evolve over the year w/ more than just grades to go on!

[@dylansigman9163]

Check out Jordan James from Oregon! Think he’ll rise up boards! Thanks for the content fellas great work!

[@Beard_82]

This RB class is legit insane Soooo many guys who could make big impacts in the NFL For Treveyon Henderson to be as far down lists as he's become shows the level of this class

[@emillachheb-slatwinski1661]

Emil Lachheb Slatwinski BKA Míl Kiper's 2025 RB Summer Rankings: 1. Ashton Jeanty 2. Quinshon Judkins 3. Ollie Gordon II 4. Omarion Hampton 5. Treyveon Henderson 6. Damien Martinez 7. Kyle Monangi 8. Nick Singleton 9. Devin Neal 10. Trevor Etienne Great video as always fellas, love your work !

[@bennohno]

When Jordan referred to Monte Ball as a throwback i felt old AF...

[@dashielldecker8659]

Love the jaydn ott inclusion here, that dude is absolutely the real deal his speed is legit. From watching a lot of cal games in person he plays at a clear level above everyone around him

[@matthewsteen6611]

Yes! Kyle Monangai mention! I fell in love watching his style when I saw a couple random Rutgers games, hoping he had another big year

[@Landonlacey10]

I am at 32 running backs for this class so far. Can confirm it's a special class and there's still room for some guys to break out and others to move way up. Can't wait for the season.

[@TheBurningHam]

When the boys are here, life is always good!

[@smyers9052]

Omarion Hampton reminds me of Fred Taylor, but not quite as big, fast, or creative. Still the freakish explosion, the physicality, and that frame - not to mention the 28 - conjure those memories.

[@googlechicken]

Oregon St likes those big boy RBs This guy and last year DeShaun Fenwick that’s about 500lbs of backfield right there

[@MrJakmatt]

Fantastic as always guys! Recommendation though, would love to see the ages of these guys in their bios too. Year is great but age gives us an idea of how young/experienced they are and is a big component when drafting. Love y’all!

[@xMisterFolgersx]

Amazing episode as always

[@panicbombs]

Looks like an excellent Draft Class at RB, thanks for breakdown, sleeper pick is Iowa's Kaleb Johnson. He ran behind a terrible Oline with all time historic bad QB play but his top tier games are NFL level. His athletic traits are elite too.

[@andrew_xlr]

Ohhh baby! 2 uploads in 2 weeks? Don’t let ‘em get hot now!

[@jackpabich763]

A Monday episode? Let's go!!! Can't wait to hear Travis Hunter both in the WR episode & corner episode!

[@jordanr8905]

Great show as always boys!! Still love me some RBs

[@Slensei]

Fun list. I'd say take a look at Tahj Brooks from Texas A&M as well, just an absolute mauler who runs like the rent is due. 1500 yards in 290 carries, and was going up against some fairly stiff competition (Kansas, Oregon, Texas, Kansas State). Definitely someone I have in my Top 10, even if the long speed and overall shiftiness at the second level is a step below some of the others in the Top 10 for me personally.

[@stancal9249]

The image of Omarion Hampton lining up in the backfield, pointing to a mike lb, and saying "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU." has some Longest Yard energy and I am ABSOLUTELY here for it lol

[@lyndonyoung6756]

I love Ollie Gordon as a prospect. I see him as an incredible zone runner. Almost half of the nfl teams run the Shanahan style offense and I think he fits the outside zone perfectly. Just think of how Derrick Henry builds up speed on outside zone. He also is great of counter and trap runs. I think we could see Ollie Gordon be a 1400 yard season guy and the way he runs he just gets better and better each quarter.

[@jacobshorba5753]

Just scouted Hampton and had the exact same thoughts. Super close to being an RB1, but he doesn't match the creativity and ball carrier vision of the top guys. His physical talents make up for a lot of that ground, but he's just short of being RB1 heading into his final season.

[@Theriouthly]

He's not quite there but check out Dylan Sampson against UK. Think he can be on this list by end of season or going into next year's summer scouting.

[@Beard_82]

Nick Singleton outside the top 8-9 RBs in this class needs to be talked about so much Massive drop off last season so could be the biggest riser this season

[@timrc417]

Was curious where Phil Mafah at Clemson ended up on your boards. Has the motor and power to be a top 5 guy in this class imo

[@MINECRAFTNINJAHD1]

Thoughts on Boone or RJ Harvey at UCF?

[@ianmcnice6590]

Boone is unreal, he just has the worst fumbling issues

[@mitchellL1]

Little late comment and I’m not sure if anyone has already mentioned him in the comments but did either of you happen to watch Jonah Coleman? The Arizona back that transferred to (I believe) Washington? He’s an absolute dawg out there. Only one year of production but he seems like a guy that could explode with the right opportunity.

[@ericniesen1775]

Finally, some scouting love for QJ. Breaks my heart that he transferred away, but he was great at Ole Miss from day one as a true freshman. In my biased opinion the most talented back in the country.

[@johnlee7085]

Devin did play baseball his freshman year, but decided during his sophomore year that he was going to stick exclusively with football. KU had a TE do the same thing. A slight factor could have been that KU went through a coaching change between when he was recruited and started playing. And while KU is doing well now and better/over on win totals each year, they were as bad as it gets when he was being recruited. He just wanted to stay home and make a difference. They call him the mayor.

[@moose4ku440]

I know Judkins past workload is impressive, but he specifically mentioned reducing that workload as a primary motivation for coming to Ohio State. He doesn't want the Jonathan Taylor criticism of too many miles on the tires come draft season

[@amyswenson1706]

I feel like RBs are going to have a big resurgence in the coming years

[@ajbaumgardner57]

I needed this today

[@alexgraulich5068]

I think Montrell Johnson could be a really interesting prospect with consistency. Good combo of burst, vision, and agility. Just seems like he can’t put all 3 together game to game

[@bennohno]

I feel like I'm a bit higher on Ollie Gordon than you guys. Admittedly I'm also scouting the name, but he kind of reminds me of something between Jonathan Stewart and Corey Dillon.

[@armthesharks6904]

Jaydn Ott is Him. I've been following this dude the entire way, and he's just getting better. I've had him in every devy league I'm in for over a year.

[@captainspartan04]

You’ll get to see Martinez week one Trevor. It’ll be very similar to what Ray Davis and Kentucky did to y’all

[@DKBxJets]

Which 4th round guy will the Jets be targeting 🤔✈️

[@emillachheb-slatwinski1661]

Where'd you go for bagels?

[@usgu1376]

Watch out for jaydon blue. Probably won’t even be the starter at Texas but he’s so fast and had a higher yards per carry than Jonathan brooks last year

[@Theodoredarling]

I love Ashton Jeanty. I watched 1 mix tape and he was my favorite RB other than Achane

[@eliratcliff44]

Bhayshul Tuten is a name to watch. His yards after contact and forced missed tackles is very good. If Virginia Tech’s offensive line was average he’d have went for 1500 total easy. Also can return the hell out of the ball on kick return

[@braedenmiller5172]

Thoughts on Dylan Sampson from Tennessee? He always popped to me more than even Wright. Super dynamic with flashes of receiving ability

[@ShOrt_RoUnD]

Ok, so who’s the Audric Estime of the 2025 draft?

[@ObamaBeenBoolin]

No one. There will never be another Audric. Should have gone #1 overall this year

[@Jiffy0]

WR's next, PLEASE! The people must learn about Tetairoa McMillan ASAP

[@williampotter5352]

I feel like every year there’s one or two players that I think “Man, this guy isn’t going to get drafted, but he’ll make a roster.” One of mine this year is Josh Williams, the running back from LSU. He’s a grinder and does a lot of little things at a high level. I could see him finding a spot. Do you guys have some of those from this past draft or maybe ones you’re already seeing for next year?

[@zaccartee1847]

Where does Tahj Brooks and RJ Harvey sit on your boards?

[@randymartinez8112]

We’re back!!…..again!

[@Kap26]

I remember there being a lot of hype for nick singleton his freshman year and then last year the numbers just didnt look as good. What went wrong there?

[@reecebarrow9443]

They needed to compare all these RBs to Audric Estime for us to get a true sense of potential

[@jeffredfern3744]

So early, the first two clicks didnt have sound.

[@naturalselection1160]

DJ Giddens should be somewhere on that list.

[@paulkomoroski]

One guy who I think could have a chance to rise in this upcoming draft is Trey Sanders of TCU

[@jeremy_1989]

These were my rankings 1. Quinshon Judkins 2. Omarion Hampton 3. Ollie Gordon 4. Ashton Jeanty 5. TreVeyon Henderson 6. Trevor Etienne 7. Donovan Edwards 8. Jayden Ott

[@robertgundaker4411]

Watched Jeanty torch Air Force for 220+ yards and 2 tuds last season. Best player on the field.

[@Phillipguy034]

Literally looks like Conner stitched a budweiser logo to a normal hat

[@leroypena5113]

Damien Martinez looks a lot like Steven Jackson when he was at Oregon State in the early 2000s. Same size, speed, agility, only he's slightly shorter at 6 foot even. Steven Jackson was 6'2 238 with 4.45-4.50 speed. He was one.of the nfl's sleepers during his playing days with the Rams. His replacing of Marshall Faulk was textbook on how a team replaces veterans with new incoming rookie talent. The Rams didn't miss a beat when MF retired. SJ was the dual threat that MF was.

[@Lucmanmyhre]

Big fans guys! Love the pod. I’m a collegiate athlete, and I’m looking to get into something like you guys. Long time addict and would love to talk sometime. I’m also 6’4 270 so I can co-host the pod!! (RB List In "reply")

[@Lucmanmyhre]

Also my RB rankings: Devin Neal Ashton Jeanty Quinshon Judkins Ollie Gordon II Omarion Hampton Trevor Etienne TreVeyon Henderson Jaydn Ott Damien Martinez Donovan Edwards Jordan James Nick Singleton

[@charterrr]

invested in Jud in both of my devy leagues a couple years ago. fingers crossed he keeps his head on straight after the rumblings of him not being the “best” teammate at ole miss

[@MrMps5185]

Very funny to continue to see the Henderson love (don’t see it even when healthy, never healthy) and no love for the Penn state backs. Singleton by the time this year + the combine is over will be a top 75 draft pick.

[@SimonSays62]

Have I been lied to about Gordon? I was under the impression that he was going to be the rb1 this year. I guess I didn’t do my research.

[@isaacgomez5684]

I get Jaydon Blue doesn’t have a lot of film to truly grade him, but neither does some in Summer scouting throughout the years. I hope y’all at least keep an eye on him this upcoming season. He’s the fastest in the country and obviously doesn’t have a lot of “tread”. He’ll be yet another UT star in the backfield

[@nickbladen985]

Gentlemen I’ve had a thought hearing you mention Gibbs going 12 overall. Is Brad Holmes the 2.0 of Les Sneads “F them picks” where instead of trading them all, he simply says to hell with it and takes the players he wants where he wants?…

[@gavingardner5449]

If Devin Neal isn’t in this video I’m gonna rage.

[@bobdabear8857]

No Chip Traynum is crazy. That UK program is basically RB University

[@Broshnak]

Since your top 4 all consist of the same four players (in different orders), and they're all juniors, do u realistically think they all enter the 2025 NFL Draft? Or who would u think does, and who would u think returns to college?

[@TampaBayTre]

Watched Tahj Brooks. He’s def top 8

[@LumpsIsHigh]

Jeanty is #1 RB and it's a shame people don't get that just yet.

[@Shawbrian96]

Devin Neal will be the biggest riser come draft time.

Go throw on Phil Mafah's tape against Notre Dame and in the Gator Bowl. IMHO he was a better pure runner than Shipley last year.
