Top 10 Illinois RBs for 2023 high school football season

10. Robert Boyd-Meents, Jr., Paxton-Buckley-Loda

After watching 2022 graduate Tyler Smith top over 1,500 rushing yards during his freshman season at PBA, Boyd-Meents would take advantage of the open opportunity as a starter during his sophomore season, totaling 1,420 yards and 21 touchdowns. With the breakout year now behind him, the rising junior running back will look to use his recent experience to help push the Panthers deep into the playoffs following their 5-5 record from a season ago.
