Continue ReadingMINNETONKA, MINN– 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. Note: This will be different from what my colleague Oliver West Oliver West LB Southwest | 2026 MN gave out in his All-Combine MVP article, as this article only 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!

What does it mean to be an SES MVP? When we dive into the numbers, we calculate the numbers based on a prospect’s size, explosiveness, and speed. This OL prospect from the far North Metro swept the testing competition by a sizeable margin against the other hog mollies in the OL group at the Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase. This prospect does not have any offers yet either in the 2023 class, so college coaches should have at him!
