WHO’S NO. 1?
Savion Hiter is the highest-ranked running back in the Rivals250 and it’s a good choice. The Woodberry Forest (Va.) Woodberry Forest School standout rushed for more than 1,100 yards last season, he had 11 touchdowns, he is great making cuts and then accelerating, and he also sheds arm tackles.
But this is a class without a clear No. 1, without-a-doubt-he’s-the-guy, top running back. There will be plenty of prospects who will push Hiter along the way as there is a long runway here before the 2026 cycle closes up.
Michigan and many others are after Hiter and it would make total sense if the Woodberry Forest four-star stays as the top-ranked running back in the 2026 class. But it also would not be a total shocker if others make a push for that top position as well.
