GHSF Daily’s rollout of the Georgia Power 100 continues today with running backs. The Georgia Power 100 is chosen primarily on high school production, though college potential is considered.
*Jaiden Daniels, Commerce, Sr.: Daniels (5-8, 160) rushed for 1,965 yards and 23 touchdowns on 221 carries last season for a 11-2 Class A Division I team. He’s run for 4,882 yards in his career, with three 1,000-yard seasons. He has seven offers, the biggest from East Tennessee State.
*Kimauri Farmer, Carrollton, Jr.: Farmer (5-9, 180) was not expected to be the Trojans’ primary running back until an injury put him in the spotlight as a sophomore. He responded by rushing for 1,433 yards and 22 touchdowns on an 11-2 Class 7A team. He also had 208 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Farmer has eight offers, mostly from mid-major Division I schools.

Johnson is one of three first-team all-state running backs returning this season (Daniels and Ousman Kromah are the others.) One of the state’s fastest sprinters, Johnson is a top-750 national recruit who committed to Cincinnati in February.
*Ousmane Kromah, Lee County, Sr.: Kromah (6-2, 218) is the state’s top RB prospect. He’s the consensus No. 83 player nationally overall and No. 5 at his position. Kromah had 2,305 yards from scrimmage – 1,783 rushing, 522 receiving – and scored 29 touchdowns for a 10-3 Class 6A team last season. It was Kromah’s third consecutive season with more than 1,500 yards rushing. Kromah is the highest-rated RB prospect from south Georgia since Toombs County’s Thez Robinson in 2001.
*Zo Smalls, Savannah Christian, Sr.: Smalls (5-10, 195) rushed for 1,903 yards and scored 34 touchdowns (14 in the playoffs) for the Class 3A runner-up in 2023.
