Continue ReadingWith the release of the 2025 prospect watchlist, I wanted to highlight some of the schools with the deepest freshman groups. These schools either had very dominant freshman football teams or they saw several freshmen get elevated up to the varsity ranks. These freshman groups are going to keep their teams in title contention for years to come!
Check out the 2025 Prospect Watchlist HERE
Omaha North: We’ll start with one of the deepest groups of freshmen in the state. The Vikings are home to arguably the top freshman player in Tyson Terry Tyson Terry 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Omaha North | 2025 State NE . Terry has been on an absolute tear with a terrific freshman football season on varsity AND captured the Class A heavyweight wrestling championship (the first freshman since who knows when to do so and went undefeated all season… just cause he could I guess). The Vikes also added to transfers in breakout DB/WR Titan Glassman Titan Glassman 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Omaha Westside | 2025 State NE d and standout QB Sebastian Circo Sebastian Circo 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB Millard North | 2025 FL . North has size in the trenches with Connor Cook Connor Cook 6'9" | 305 lbs | OL Omaha North | 2025 State NE , Trey Limones Trey Limones 6'0" | 205 lbs | OL Omaha North | 2025 NE , Greg Moore Greg Moore 5'7" | 200 lbs | DL Omaha North | 2025 State NE , and Tariq Washington Tariq Washington 5'9" | 210 lbs | OL Omaha North | 2025 NE . They also have speed and athleticism at the skill positions and LB group with Ronald Starks Ronald Starks 6'0" | 175 lbs | RB Omaha North | 2025 NE , Deon Cooper Deon Cooper 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH Omaha North | 2025 State NE , Jacob Markham Jacob Markham 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB Omaha North | 2025 NE , and Connor O’Neill Connor O’Neill 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Omaha North | 2025 State NE . Nate Collins Nate Collins 6'1" | 175 lbs | QB Omaha Burke | 2025 State NE is also a very talented QB that should be pushing for the starting job. This is going to be a dominant group that should rack up lots of scholarships by the time they’re seniors.

Millard North: The theme for this team is length and athleticism and they have tons of it. Pierce Mooberry Pierce Mooberry 6'4" | 200 lbs | ATH Millard North | 2025 State NE is a 2025 prospect that is going to rise quickly. He has tons of length and a quick get off. Caden VerMaas Caden VerMaas 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH Millard North | 2025 State NE is another high-motor, high-intensity player that will be a key player on the defense. Caden Thielen Caden Thielen 5'10" | 165 lbs | DL Millard North | 2025 NE , Spencer Phillips Spencer Phillips 5'11" | 190 lbs | LB Millard North | 2025 State NE , and Alex Michaud will also be menaces on the defensive line.

Rocky Chavez Rocky Chavez 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB Millard North | 2025 State NE and Aidan Hatshorn are also very underrated defensive players for the Mustangs.

Elkhorn South: One of my top 2025 QBs in Madden Riggs Madden Riggs 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE is a player on the verge of blowing up. He’s got a great arm and passes the eye test for his position. Gavin Shanahan Gavin Shanahan 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE , Landon Tate Landon Tate 6'0" | 185 lbs | ATH Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE , and Cooper Mrozcek Cooper Mrozcek 6'4" | 185 lbs | WR Elkhorn South | 2025 NE are excellent weapons that are still scratching the surface of their mass potential. The strength of this group lies on the defensive side with several high motor players that know how to get to the ball. McCorter Goesser, Seth Whiteley Seth Whiteley 6'2" | 205 lbs | TE Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE , Jack Gideon Jack Gideon 5'7" | 145 lbs | ATH Elkhorn South | 2025 NE , and Devin Meier Devin Meier 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE are going to develop into solid linebackers that will be a huge strength for the Storm in the upcoming years. Ryan Siemek Ryan Siemek 5'10" | 145 lbs | ATH Elkhorn South | 2025 NE and Brayden DePerno Brayden DePerno 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Elkhorn South | 2025 NE are some physical players that could carve out important roles as two-way players

Lincoln Southeast: The Freshman Knight team had a very successful season in which they finished 9-1 and were the city champs. They have a lot of very talented freshmen that played hungry in 2021. Pierre Allen Jr Pierre Allen Jr 6'3" | 215 lbs | DL Lincoln Southeast | 2025 State NE . looks to be the headliner of the LSE freshmen team. Allen is going to be a QBs worst nightmare, with his ability to pass-rush and bend the edge. Cash looks like the freshman version of older brother Max (2023 – RB) with his hard, downhill running and gritty linebacker play. Tyson Wathor Tyson Wathor OL Lincoln Southeast | 2025 NE and Pablo Barta Pablo Barta 6'0" | 220 lbs | OL Lincoln Southeast | 2025 NE look to continue the tradition of tough, hard nosed OL play. Ashton Traudt Ashton Traudt 5'9" | 180 lbs | LB Lincoln Southwest | 2025 NE is another name to keep an eye on. He is a tireless LB with great pursuit and a mean streak.

Gretna: Gretna has several very impressive athletes that will likely be strong two-way players for the Dragons. Mason Gunn Mason Gunn 5'8" | 185 lbs | RB Gretna East | 2025 State NE , Alex Hallgren Alex Hallgren 5'9" | 185 lbs | WR Gretna | 2025 NE , Derek Gablenz Derek Gablenz 5'10" | 145 lbs | WR Gretna | 2025 NE , and Hunter Consbruck Hunter Consbruck 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR Gretna | 2025 NE are exciting skill position players that should bud into stars. Griffin Goldman Griffin Goldman 6'3" | 250 lbs | OL Gretna | 2025 State NE already has great size for his position and should only continue to fill out more. Luke Johnson Luke Johnson 6'2" | 190 lbs | LB Gretna East | 2025 State NE is a player to watch, he plays hard and makes some great heads-up plays. QB Jake Mowinkel Jake Mowinkel 6'0" | 150 lbs | QB Gretna | 2025 NE could be the heir to Flores’ throne once the star QB graduates. I really like Jake’s arm and mobility in the pocket and when he scrambles.
