Rivals Five-Star Running Backs: Which Under-the-Radar Star Will Dominate Next Season?

We love the three-down skill-set for Robinson and so does Tennessee. The Vols are setting the pace in the 2027 four-star back’s recruitment ahead of Oklahoma State and Mississippi State.

Osborne will be playing a lot of football inside the state of Indiana over the next few years. The Texas-based blue-chipper pledged to Notre Dame last month and showcased his three-down skill-set this week at the Rivals Five-Star.

Here we break down the top running backs from the event.Cooper came away with positional MVP honors in Indianapolis. The five-star shined in the 1-on-1 portion of Tuesday’s camp, then took it to a different level as the most productive pass-catcher out of the backfield in 7-on-7 play.

When the 2025 Rivals Five-Star event hit the Indianapolis Colts’ turf this week, the excitement was electric — and not without good reason. I mean, this isn’t your average gathering; it’s where the nation’s premier running backs lace up, showcase their arsenal, and essentially stake their claim for stardom. Trust me, the level of talent on display made it clear who’s rising, who’s got the goods, and who’s shaping the future of college football. From MVP takeaways to jaw-dropping plays, the event was a masterclass in skill, speed, and sheer determination. Let’s dive into the highlights and break down the standouts who caught my eye — and why these backs are already causing major recruiting waves across the country.

The Irish verbal is a three-down back that can bash between the tackles and be a workhorse on early downs and also contribute in the passing game.

Auburn is trending up with the in-state blue-chipper, who returned to The Plains earlier this month. Hugh Freeze has been superb keeping top-end talent such as Cowley in-state since arriving at Auburn and has a strong chance to repeat in this one, too. Cowley stood out as one of the backs with the best top-end speed in Indianapolis. The 2027 four-star out of Alabama was smooth in and out of breaks, had soft hands and fantastic wiggle and acceleration with the ball in his hands between various positional drills, 1-on-1 competition and in the 7-on-7 setting.
