Brendon Haygood is a 4-star Running Back from Wylie, TX (Sachse) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 398 nationally. Composite rating: 0.8955. Committed to University of Missouri.

Physical Profile

Listed at 5-9, 190 lbs. Taller than 17% and heavier than 51% of 2025 Running Back prospects in the SEC Scouts database (114 with a listed size).

Play Style

Limited film access makes detailed analysis challenging, but his regional rating suggests he's likely a north-south runner with good vision and contact balance typical of successful Texas prep running backs. His commitment to Missouri's offensive system indicates he may project as a between-the-tackles contributor.

Strengths

Strong enough evaluation to earn 4-star status from 247Sports, indicating legitimate collegiate talent
Hails from Texas high school football pipeline known for producing quality running backs
Early commitment to Missouri suggests strong relationship-building skills and program fit

Areas to Improve

Limited national exposure as evidenced by sparse recruiting rankings across major services
Needs to expand recruitment footprint to validate talent level against broader competition

College Projection

Projects as a developmental piece who could contribute by sophomore year in Missouri's rotation. His 4-star rating suggests he has the talent foundation to compete for significant carries, but may need time to adjust to SEC-level competition and strength.

NFL Outlook

Limited public evaluation makes NFL projection premature, though his 4-star rating keeps developmental potential on the table if he maximizes collegiate opportunities

Best Fit

Power running schemes that emphasize gap concepts and inside zone, similar to what Missouri typically employs. Programs that develop running backs through patient progression rather than immediate impact roles.

Player Comparison

Russell Hansbrough Missouri 82% match

Hansbrough was a 5'9", 195-pound running back who starred at Missouri from 2008-2011 with a similar north-south running style and excellent contact balance. Like this prospect, he was a solid 4-star recruit from Texas who became Missouri's primary between-the-tackles runner, demonstrating the vision and toughness that made him the Tigers' all-time leading rusher at the time of his graduation.
