Kollin Weikel, LB, Andover (2021)
Weikel was an effective linebacker from Saturday that keyed in on multiple tackles for the Huskies shutout defense. Eval: This is not a prospect you want to give a lane to run into, as his burst is exceptional when he sees something he wants; a quarterback or running back in the backfield. This kid does that consistently for the Huskies, Has tremendous energy with his tackling ability, and sheds off blocks quickly.

Gavin McCoy, DB, St. Francis (2022)
McCoy was locked in on one of the Saint’s key turnovers on the day in the endzone. Eval: No film available on this junior, but from the looks of it, McCoy is a crucial contributor to the Saints hockey program and maybe a sleeper football prospect at defensive back.
Nick Feine, DB/WR, Andover (2021)
Feine was another defensive back that keyed into some critical tackles on Saturday afternoon for the Huskies. Eval: Basketball prospect with limited football film.
Austin Walvatne, WR/DB, St. Francis (2021)
Walvatne turned in to be one of the best receivers for the Saints on Saturday. Eval: Walvatne is a deep ball threat that can make plays on the second level and a receiver. A WR with substantial size and is effective most down the sidelines from throws over 20 yards mostly.
Ben Audette, TE, Andover (2021)
Audette was a definite tight end that got some key first downs for the Andover Huskies on Saturday. Eval: As just a 2022 tight end, I think this kid could be a next-level talent. Stands at about 210-215 pounds, which if he could get a little bit stronger frame, e could be a good blocking tight end with reliable hands.
Lucas Hess, DB, St. Francis (2021)
Hess was a player that matched up well with what he does on film on Saturday. Eval: Hess has a large number of skill sets you can use him for. He’s useful in the return game with a decent burst and can be an effective receiver when the ball comes his way, but I think it is a defined defensive back as far as his position. A player that’s not going to give up on a play and one that will run someone down even if most might think they are in for six.
Dylan Owens, DL, Andover (2022)
Owens was influential in stuffing the rushing attack of the Saints on Saturday. Not much film to this kid’s resume, but I think we will learn a lot for his senior season from the next player on our list.
Justin Kenning, DL, Andover (2021)
Kenning was the most disruptive man on the defensive line for Andover on Saturday. Eval: Kenning had no struggles finding holes on Saturday to get to the quarterback. Kenning is a forceful defensive end, although he might not be the biggest guy as far as measurables. Kenning is instrumental in the Huskies rush defense and sheds well between deep blocks to find room to stuff the run.
Adam Bosen DL/OL, St. Francis (2021)
Bosen, to me, played the best game for St. Francis as a whole on Saturday even though the score wasn’t pretty. Eval: Bosen clings the ball carrier on a dime and is a two-way player for the Saints on both lines. This kid has a great motor that had multiple tackles on Saturday afternoon.

Samuel Angell, LB, Andover (2022)
Eval: Angell has the perfect size to be an effective linebacker at the next level. Right now has only basketball film available, but at 6’2 215 pounds, that screams for great measurables. Another prospect that showed off some skills against an under matched St. Francis team.
Aghogho Eyafe Aghogho Eyafe WR Andover | 2021 State MN , WR/DB, Andover (2021)
Eyafe was one of the most critical receivers from Andover on Saturday. Eval: I’m a fan of this kid’s first step off the snap. Eyafe is a player that will catch most of the balls that come near him. Good at getting footballs thrown just off the mark, but he makes them catchable. Eyafe holds one offer from Bemidji State.
Ethan Guerra, WR, Andover (2021)
Guerra was Develice’s main deep ball target. Guerra was in control of the Saints secondary and logged in three key catches that set the tone for Andover getting such excellent field position throughout the game.
Connor Develice, QB, Andover (2022)
Develice aired it out well for over 240 passing yards on Saturday against St. Francis. Eval: Seems to have better touch on the football when he goes deep versus the short middle of the field throw. Develice has sharp instincts with the football and will use his size to tuck it and run for a first down. I see this kid on our next 2022 rankings update down the road; even as a first-year starter, the potential is there.
Weston Knox, DB/WR, Andover (2022)
I have to hand Knox my game MVP from Saturday. Knox grabbed not one but two interceptions for the Huskies on Saturday. Eval: Knox looked fantastic in coverage on Saturday, giving the Huskies even more opportunities to score with his two picks. Based on the film, you see Knox as an effective receiver for the Huskies, but in the I watched against Elk River and Buffalo, I would picture him as a next-level cornerback.
Other Big Dogs of Note
Sam Musungu, WR/DB, Andover (2023)
Musungu was a young sophomore that made some key plays at WR for Andover on Saturday. Eval: Seems like Musungu might be one we need to keep an eye out for in our 2023 class based on his skills. Good football-size at wide receiver, and we will see if he can blossom into the “guy” at WR with Eyafe graduating this Spring.
Andrew Schumacher, PR/DB, Andover (2021)
Schumacher had seven tackles and returned a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown. Schumacher also had some other returns where he pinned the Huskies in an outstanding field position which set the tone for their offense to do some damage.
