24 MN Scholarship-Level 2024 SZN Highlight Evals.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The numbers don't lie, and once again our analytics show that you lovely subscribers like our straight-forward series evaluating new and updated tape from the 2022 season. With two, 40-evaluation features already out this fall, I wanted to switch things up, highlight the upcoming senior class, and narrow the perspective down to focus on scholarship-level 2024 prospects from our Great State of Minnesota. To be clear, when I say scholarship I am referring to a DII, FCS, FBS, and even P5 projection, and because the NSIC and Missouri Valley recruit MN so well I am generally referring to programs from those two conferences when imagining DII and FCS suitors. Those scholarship numbers and amounts vary depending on the level you commit to, depending on other things, but a scholarship kid out of MN can straight-up ball, and I'm pumped to have evaluated 24 of them for this new <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>feature highlighting some studs in the 2024 junior class. Get to know the standouts below, and thank you for reading! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["242395"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eAnderbergu003c/strongu003e came into the season well-known among MN 2024 recruiting fans and cemented himself as a scholarship-level RT in his junior film.

Great hands out of the backfield and has a truckstick and some burst with the ball in his hands. Man, I love fullbacks, and u003cstrongu003ePackeru003c/strongu003e is a good one.

He's a great tackler in space, can shoot gaps and trigger on the football with great timing and speed when playing a more OLB role, and does a solid job of reading and dropping underneath route runners to make plays on the ball. At 6'1, 180 lbs. he also brings a growing and notable frame that is strong enough to take on blocks and impact the run game and mobile enough to contribute in the pass game.

Runs, cuts, and breaks off his routes more like a WR and has a giant catch radius and made some impressive catches this past fall on inaccurate balls and/or in tighter coverage. Also has some rare mobility at 6'4, 225 and is elusive in the open field and cover ground like a much smaller pass catcher. Also laid some big hits as a LB and has some reps playing QB while rocking his #42, which I personally love. Impressive pass-catcher at a massive 6'4, 225 with an FCS/FBS and potentially P5 ceiling, in my opinion. Can't wait to see him live and evaluate further soon.

His closing speed is also great, and u003cstrongu003eMacyu003c/strongu003e got to diversify his portfolio in 2022 by opening some big holes as a TE on offense.

His LB highlights are impressive, and I love his hard hitting and playmaking playstyle, represented well in the first play of his regular season film where he crushes a QB, knocks the ball out of his hand, plays the bounce well and scoops the rock up for an easy TD run. He shoots gaps and finds space to run down the ball in both the run and pass game, and his athleticism can also be highlighted by his offensive highlights, where he shows off balance, vision, and big play speed.

The LT has visited the Gophers twice this fall, as well as SDSU and UND, and the junior film is looking great, as his length and the room he has to fill in would make a collegiate Su0026amp;C coach excited but still shows strength in his initial punch and on second effort. He looks balanced and flexible for a kid of his size, and has authoritative reps in both run and pass blocking. If he can add a little more pop in the strength department and can dominate more consistently I can definitely see a P5 lineman on tape, but he's already an athletic ball of clay that collegiate OL coaches love to get their hands on and mold.

The tape looked so good I mentioned him in our u003cemu003ePrepRedzoneMNu003c/emu003e Midseason Breakout Stars report, and he opens the 2022 tape with a brutal truckstick that he then carries forward and bounces off a would-be dogpile for a TD run channeling Jerome Bettis or Brandon Jacobs. His contact balance and overall balance is great, and for a bigger back he's got game-breaking speed that can take advantage of holes in the defense and lots of daylight. Also shows off some efficient cuts in the open field as well as a spin move or two, and as a scout and football fan who enjoys big backs and his kind of running style, I absolutely love watching him run, break tackles, gain yards after contact, and generally keep defenders on their toes thanks to that always available truckstick.
