Khazzie Harmon: The Most Electrifying 10-Year-Old Running Back in the Country

By Rydrico Walker, EYSN Next-Gen Youth Spotlight

ATLANTA, GA — If you ask anyone who’s been on the sideline of a youth football game featuring Khazzie Harmon, they’ll all tell you the same thing: don’t blink.

At just 10 years old, Harmon has already developed a reputation as the most exciting, electrifying, and explosive running back in the country. Coaches whisper about him like he’s a secret weapon. Opponents spend sleepless nights trying to game-plan. Parents and fans crowd the fences just for the chance to see the kid they call “Microwave.”

Standing at just over 4’9” and tipping the scales at 105 pounds, Harmon may not look imposing — until the ball touches his hands. Then it’s a blur of speed, power, and instincts that seem far beyond his age. He cuts like he’s playing on fast-forward, plants his foot in the ground with purpose, and explodes into open space. Defenders rarely get a clean hit. More often, they’re left grabbing at air as Harmon streaks by.

“He’s got that it factor you can’t coach,” says one longtime youth coach. “Acceleration, vision, balance — and he plays with a chip like he’s proving something every carry.”

The numbers back it up. Harmon has racked up jaw-dropping performances week after week: multi-touchdown outings, 100-yard halves, and game-breaking plays that leave even his teammates shaking their heads. But beyond the stats, it’s the way he does it that separates him. He doesn’t just outrun defenses — he embarrasses them, with jukes, spins, and bursts that make highlight reels on social media go viral.

Off the field, Harmon carries himself with the same intensity. His work ethic has become legendary among his peers. While other kids play video games, he’s out training, running sprints, or studying film of the greats — from Barry Sanders to Saquon Barkley.

The comparisons aren’t far-fetched. Like Sanders, Harmon has the ability to turn nothing into something spectacular. Like Barkley, he combines rare lower-body explosiveness with top-end breakaway speed. And like both, he makes every touch feel like it could end up in the end zone.

Scouts, trainers, and national evaluators are already buzzing. Some call him the best 10U running back they’ve ever seen. Others go further, projecting Harmon as a once-in-a-generation type of youth prospect.

Still, ask Harmon himself what drives him, and the answer is simple: “I just love football. I love competing. I love scoring touchdowns. And I want to be the best.”

At 10 years old, Khazzie Harmon is already living up to that promise — and rewriting what’s possible at his age. If the early flashes are any indication, the rest of the country is just witnessing the beginning of something truly special.

Because when it comes to Khazzie Harmon, one thing is certain: the highlight reels are only going to get longer.
