Darian McKenzie – Lake Taylor (VA) C:O 2025

Darian McKenzie Transcript

Darian is a versatile running back who accelerates quickly with a terrific downhill burst. When he plants his foot and takes off, he churns up yards, leaving defenders in the dust. He runs with a good pad level and consistently finishes runs. Doesn’t have a problem finding the nooks and crannies in traffic to gain extra yards. Darian had very good production that should improve in his senior year.

Darian has an elite blend of fluency and power. As a top running back in the Tidewater Area, his speed, cutting ability, and suddenness are much needed against some of the top defenders in the state. He is strong enough to run through arm tackles. He picks up remarkable yards after contact and can run through tacklers to get tough yards on a consistent basis. McKenzie shows patience when needed and the vision to find the crease to sustain drives. He also shows open-field instincts and the ability to absorb contact when hit. We expect him to shine this year after becoming an all-region and district running back.
