PrepRedzoneMN Showcase: OL/DL Top Testers, SES MVPs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MINNETONKA, MINN--</strong> I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday over the past few days and watched lots of football, enjoyed your family's company, and ate plenty of great food as I did! I wanted to unleash the Top Testers from the big fellas on both sides of the ball in the trenches. Last year at our Prep Redzone Wisconsin Showcase, I unleashed my first ever SES MVP, which I will go into detail later. Simply put, we looked at each prospect's measurables and the analytical side of their testing numbers. <strong>Note:</strong> This will be different from what my colleague [player_tooltip player_id='1257447' first='Oliver' last='West'] gave out in his <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2022/12/prepredzonemn-showcase-all-combine-team/">All-Combine MVP</a> article, as this article <strong>only</strong> looks at the numbers from the early testing period and who dominated our "Power Fives" with just the numbers we analyzed. So have at it; meet the Top Testers and the SES MVPs from the Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase at the Tonka Dome last Sunday!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Defensive Linemen:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Power Five DLs in the 40-Yard Dash:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234882' first='Graysen' last='Schneider'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Stewartville</td><td>6'2 217.5 pounds</td><td>4.65, 4.66</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='368530' first='Easton' last='Suess'] (2024)</strong></td><td>Kasson-Mantorville</td><td>6'4 192 pounds</td><td>4.75</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Andrew Baumgart (2024)</strong></td><td>West DePere (WI)</td><td>6'1 221 pounds</td><td>4.84</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551346' first='Ethan' last='Giesler'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Farmington </td><td>6'1 218 pounds</td><td>4.87</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='368528' first='Justin' last='Jacobson'] (2024)</strong></td><td>Pelican Rapids</td><td>6'1 252 pounds</td><td>5.03</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Power Five DLs in the Shuttle</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='368530' first='Easton' last='Suess'] (2024)</strong></td><td>Kasson-Mantorville</td><td>6'4 192 pounds </td><td>4.35</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551346' first='Ethan' last='Giesler'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Farmington</td><td>6'1 218 pounds</td><td>4.53</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='479373' first='Michael' last='Bruggers'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Champlin Park</td><td>6'2 221.2 pounds</td><td>4.54</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Andrew Baumgart (2024)</strong></td><td>West DePere (WI)</td><td>6'1 221 pounds</td><td>4.62</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234882' first='Graysen' last='Schneider'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Stewartville</td><td>6'2 217.5 pounds</td><td>4.65</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Power Five DLs in the Broad Jump:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Easton Seuss (2024)</strong></td><td>Kasson-Mantorville</td><td>6'4 192 pounds </td><td>9'8</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Andrew Baumgart (2024)</strong></td><td>West DePere (WI)</td><td>6'1 221 pounds</td><td>9'6</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234882' first='Graysen' last='Schneider'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Stewartville</td><td>6'2 217.5 pounds</td><td>9'1</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='368528' first='Justin' last='Jacobson'] (2024)</strong>*</td><td>Pelican Rapids</td><td>6'1 252 pounds</td><td>8'9</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551360' first='Jacob' last='Dietel'] (2024)</strong>*</td><td>Litchfield</td><td>6'0 233 pounds</td><td>8'9</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551346' first='Ethan' last='Giesler'] (2025)</strong>*</td><td>Farmington</td><td>6'1 218 pounds</td><td>8'9</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">* 3-way tie for fourth place in the broad jump.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Power Five DLs in the L-Drill:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Easton Seuss (2024)</strong></td><td>Kasson-Mantorville </td><td>6'4 192 pounds</td><td>6.9, 7.05</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551426' first='Sawyer' last='Josewski'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Rogers</td><td>6'3, 187.8 pounds</td><td>7.06</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='479373' first='Michael' last='Bruggers'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Champlin Park</td><td>6'2, 221.2 pounds</td><td>7.09</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='234882' first='Graysen' last='Schneider'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Stewartville</td><td>6'2, 217.5 pounds</td><td>7.22</td></tr><tr><td><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551346' first='Ethan' last='Giesler'] (2025)</strong></td><td>Farmington</td><td>6'1 218 pounds</td><td>7.3</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>What does it mean to be an SES MVP? </strong>When we dive into the numbers, we calculate the numbers based on a prospect's size, explosiveness, and speed.
