Mount Baker has produced numerous productive running backs over the years, and with head coach Ron Lepper’s expertise of constructing and coaching the offensive line, the offensive output has been staggering. Currently, senior Carson Engholm has shown his ability to thrive in Mount Baker’s “power run” offense. I tend to try and compare high school players with NFL players that I watched as a kid, and Engholm always seems to remind me of Marcus Allen. A lean-bodied glider that has power when needed, and has effortless speed when breaking away. He lined up as the traditional Wing-T fullback the past few years, and has been moved to the halfback position this season. His 2803 career rushing yards have put him into the Top 10 in school history, and he looks to surpass some legendary players that have worn the red and black.
