<p>Unsurprisingly, it was another fun and exciting weekend of MN playoff football with the remainder of the quarterfinal matchups finishing today. I'll save any kind of recap for tomorrow when I publish a full reflection for <em>PrepRedzoneMN</em>, but there were definitely some nail-biters and tough battles with undefeateds going down and semifinal matchups setting up. Obviously, with playoffs continuing to progress that means more and more teams are seeing their 2022 seasons conclude, which means more season highlight tapes are being updated, finished, and posted. It's excellent news for MN prep football fanatics such as myself, and with three days of playoff action this weekend I thought a good way to fill in and contribute to the MN high school football recruiting scene and our <em>PRzMN </em>site would be another straightforward, straight up evaluation piece where I dig in and breakdown 40 regular season highlight tapes from seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman all across the state. If I didn't get you this round don't worry, I'm returning with Part II tomorrow to go along with that recap piece. Thanks for reading and find out what 50 MN prep football players do well on the gridiron below! </p>

He can drop his hips and keep DBs uncertain about where he's breaking to, and for a smaller wideout he's also got a strong lower body that helps him break good tackle attempts as well as win as a strong and pesky blocker on the perimeter and even on kickoff returns.

Unsurprisingly, it was another fun and exciting weekend of MN playoff football with the remainder of the quarterfinal matchups finishing today. I'll save any kind of recap for tomorrow when I publish a full reflection for PrepRedzoneMN, but there were definitely some nail-biters and tough battles with undefeateds going down and semifinal matchups setting up. Obviously, with playoffs continuing to progress that means more and more teams are seeing their 2022 seasons conclude, which means more season highlight tapes are being updated, finished, and posted. It's excellent news for MN prep football fanatics such as myself, and with three days of playoff action this weekend I thought a good way to fill in and contribute to the MN high school football recruiting scene and our PRzMN site would be another straightforward, straight up evaluation piece where I dig in and breakdown 40 regular season highlight tapes from seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman all across the state. If I didn't get you this round don't worry, I'm returning with Part II tomorrow to go along with that recap piece. Thanks for reading and find out what 50 MN prep football players do well on the gridiron below!
