Wilson is a quickly developing QB who is going to be a stud, if you don’t consider him one already. He plays with a sense of urgency, not rushed, and it’s very noticeable. It feels like he’s playing with his hair on fire and can do no wrong. He makes quick decisions and trusts what’s supposed to be in-front of him. He never panics and has rather good pocket awareness for his age. He’s athletic enough to stress defenses and kill them with his legs. If he’s got room in front of him he’ll take off and move the chains. Drop back in coverage and he’ll pick you apart with his arm. Size wise he’s not the biggest guy and he doesn’t have a huge arm but he’s more than capable. He’s rather accurate and has decent arm strength. He doesn’t strain when throwing and it comes out fairly easily. When he’s got time in the pocket he makes sure to set his feet and throw with a proper base. He’s also able to throw on the move and off-platform. Wilson is a young QB who came in and had a fantastic first year starting while showcasing his ability. A big future lies ahead of Wilson if he’s able to continue developing.

Antonio Woodson Antonio Woodson 6'1" | 160 lbs | WR Lawrence North | 2026 State IN – Lawrence North – WR – 6’1″ 160lbs – 2026
Woodson is a young WR for Lawrence North who looked really good on JV this year and is someone I think could easily burst onto the varsity scene next year. He’s got a lengthy frame that stands at 6’1″ and looks good on a football field. This past year he showed a ton of flash and potential down the field and with the ball in his hands. He’s able to run some clean slant routes and get open in the slot. He’s able to use his frame to box out and go up for a catch from time to time. Woodson’s best ability though may be simply with the ball in his hands. He had a few clips this year where he was stopping on a thumb tack, throwing someone off him, and changing direction all in the same fluid movement. While he didn’t have the biggest body of work this past year, I anticipate that to change drastically as he gets more comfortable with the system and puts weight on. Woodson is going to be a pain in someone’s behind sooner rather than later and he’s an early name to watch as a big breakout this next fall.

Brody Klem Brody Klem 5'10" | 200 lbs | DL Gibson Southern | 2026 State IN – Gibson Southern – DL – 6’0″ 205lbs – 2026
Klem is an upcoming interior lineman who made quite the impact this past fall. He was impactful in both the running and the passing game. For his age, he’s got a decent frame. Hopefully, he continues to grow in that frame and is able to develop in the weight room some. He’s got a strong natural frame that keeps him well grounded. He doesn’t come high out of his stance or pads and won’t get caught exposing his chest. In terms of the run game, Klem is much more impactful against outside zone. He’s able to split the gaps and anticipate the gap. He’s a high motor high energy guy who makes his presence through consistency. Whether it’s getting pressure on the QB to even rush his throw, he’s consistent. His freshman campaign saw him put up 54 tackles, 24 TFLs, 5 sacks, and a blocked a FG attempt. One of the better incoming seasons possible for a guy who is going to be a key player for them for the next few years.

Aiden Flournoy Aiden Flournoy 6'2" | 235 lbs | DL Cathedral | 2026 State IN – Cathedral – DE – 6’2″ 235lbs – 2026
Flournoy is a young player with as much upside as anyone on any list. This past season on JV for Cathedral he showed what he’s capable of. His ability to get off the ball and time the snap, while not consistent yet, is wicked quick. So much so to when he times it right the linemen sometimes aren’t ready for contact and Flournoy is hitting them with his bullrush. He’s incredibly strong, especially for his age, and is only going to get stronger. He’s got a fantastic center of gravity and is able to use it to his advantage regularly. He gets under their pads and can blow them back. He’s got long arms and can wrong arm a lineman away and off of him rather easily. He can make an impact and the passing game and get home as well. As he develops and gets more technique he’s going to be a chess piece they can move around. He’s someone who likely can play inside or outside depending on what gives him the best matchup. Down the road, don’t be shocked if he develops into a star. Flournoy has a lot of the intangibles you’re looking for and should be put on radars now.
