25 Eye-Popping MN 2025 Highlight Tape Evals.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the Vikings win as much as I did. Also, huge win for the Gophers, and I could really get used to keeping the Axe in Dinkytown for the foreseeable future. With all this action going on in the college and professional ranks, I hope you don't think I forgot about lovely MN high school football fans, and to continue our recent trend of regular season highlight tape evaluations I am pumped to present this new feature highlighting the 2025 class for <em>PrepRedzoneMN</em>. With a ton of football left in these boys futures, it's important to not get ahead of ourselves in terms of their recruitment, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy their highlights, and after watching hours of tape for this feature I identified 25 eye-popping 2025s who balled out and put some great things on tape in their last season as underclassmen. Offense, defense, and special teams, these prospects did a lot of different things well this fall and upped their stock as college recruits. Get to know them and their game below! Thanks for reading. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["234766"],"_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":"The frontrunner for QB1 in MN's 2025 class has built on his historic 2021 freshman season and is putting some eye-popping reps on tape as a lefty gunslinger in talent-rich Lakeville.

I also love his footwork when maneuvering around the pocket before he whips the ball out of his hand and he's obviously elusive, athletic, and possessing arm talent that projects to the highest levels of college football. The 6'1, 175 lber. has been on the Gophers recruiting board for over a year now and visited on a game day experience this past weekend. Talented possible hometown hero for the Gophers QB room? We shall see. I haven't been impressed with an underclassman QB like this possibly ever.

I also like the touch and arm strength he showed on a couple of reps, but the midseason tape is mostly filled with runs, so I get the feeling u003cstrongu003eEmmerichu003c/strongu003e is wanting to market his versatility as a sophomore.
