7. Kayden Collazo, Hatboro-Horsham
A three-year starter for the Hatters, he will again be their workhorse out of the backfield.
8. Carter Clee, Neshaminy
A junior, he ran for 565 yards and six touchdowns last season on 145 carries. Look for his workload to increase this fall.
9. Jordan Brensinger, Pennsbury
He played more of a secondary role in the offensive backfield a year ago behind Nathan Beighley, now playing at Shippensburg, but that will change this fall.
10. Brady Slate, Bristol
A junior who will have a much larger role in the Warriors' offense this season. A year ago, he ran for 162 yards on just 12 carries with a touchdown. Also caught five passes for 51 yards and a score.
