Rod Beverly Rod Beverly 5'10" | 160 lbs | RB Omaha Central | 2024 NE | RB | Omaha Central | 5’10” 160 lbs
Rod played in a loaded backfield in 2022 which really cut down his number of touches. Now with some players transferred out, Rod should be the favorite to win the RB1 title for the Eagles. Beverly shows the ability to read his blocks with the lower body strength to fight through tackles. He has a nice burst when hitting his lanes.
Jack Cooper Jack Cooper OL Lincoln Southeast | 2024 NE | OL/DL | Lincoln Southeast | 5’9″ 235 lbs
The Knights are LOADED in the trenches with several key players returning from last season. One player that could take on a bigger role on either offense or defense is Jack Cooper Jack Cooper OL Lincoln Southeast | 2024 NE . Cooper shows good use of leverage with a nice short-area burst. He’s a strong individual that can set his anchor and make it hard to be moved off his spot. Jack is drawing attention from Concordia, Doane, and Dakota Wesleyan.
Maddex Egger Maddex Egger 5'10" | 155 lbs | RB Aurora | 2024 State NE | RB | Aurora | 5’10” 155 lbs
Class C1 schools rejoicing that Carlos Collazo Carlos Collazo 5'9" | 200 lbs | RB Aurora | 2023 State NE is graduating, need to keep a close eye on junior Maddex Egger Maddex Egger 5'10" | 155 lbs | RB Aurora | 2024 State NE . Maddex backed up Collazo last season and did a great job with the carries he had. He ended the season with a nice 430 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns on 84 carries. Maddex is a back that can burn defenses if they let him hit the corner, using his top-end acceleration to breakaway from defenders.
Maddox Georgius Maddox Georgius 6'4" | 250 lbs | OL Millard South | 2024 State NE | OL | Millard South | 6’4″ 250 lbs
The Patriots are a team with a ton of talent that is flying under the radar. One is OL Maddox Georgious who is a candidate to be a breakout lineman. Georgius looked good at the WA Top Prospects showcase. Maddox displays good footwork and nice movement in his hips. He gets a nice burst on pull plays and can build up power to make a strong initial push. He’s receiving interest from Southwest Minnesota State, Washburn, Morningside, Augustana, and Briar Cliff.
Charlie Gewinner Charlie Gewinner 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Bellevue West | 2024 State NE | RB | Bellevue West | 5’9″ 180 lbs
Charlie is a flat-out baller! Gewinner was an attendee at the Prospect Tour showcase and showed that he hadn’t missed a step since his injury. He has precise, sharp cuts with explosiveness coming out of them. He has elite speed and agility, posting a 4.49 40-yard dash, 4.18 shuttle, 9’9 1/2″ broad jump, and 6.94 L-drill – all were the top marks amond RBs. Gewinner’s secret weapon is how dangerous he is as a receiver. He runs routes like a receiver and uses his vision to continue picking up YAC. Definitely raised his stock this offseason!
Dale Hansen Dale Hansen 6'1" | 200 lbs | TE Millard West | 2024 State NE | TE | Millard West | 6’1″ 210 lbs
Dale is a player with a lot of upside, I just had a small sample size to go off of. Hansen shows the ability to be an in-line blocking tight end that can clear the edge for the running game. He can line up off the line, in the slot, and can work the first and second levels very well. Strong at the catch point, making plays through contact. Wayne State, Northern State, North Dakota, Augustana, Hstings College, St. Thomas, Concordia, Southwest Minnesota State, Sioux Falls, and Dakota Wesleyan have shown interest.
Landon Hoff Landon Hoff 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Lincoln Northeast | 2024 State NE | QB | Lincoln Northeast | 6’3″ 195 lbs
Hoff competed at the Prospect Tour camp which gave us a lot better look at the Rocket’s QB. Landon passes the eye test of your typical QB at 6’3″ and a solid 195 lbs. He displays nice mobility when maneuvering through the pocket. He shows toughness to stand tall in the pocket and take on contact in order to get the ball out at the right time. Hoff took a recent visit to Concordia and has drawn interest from Briar Cliff, Hastings College, South Dakota School of Mines, and Southwest Minnesota State.
Nicholas Kessinger Nicholas Kessinger 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Papillion-La Vista South | 2024 NE | LB | Papillion-La Vista South | 6’0″ 205 lbs
The Titans boasted a very deep linebacker core in 2022 with several members of that group heading off to play college ball. Nicholas looks to be one of the next men up at linebacker. He has solid size for the position with more room to continue packing on mass.
Izaac Langley Izaac Langley 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB Cozad | 2024 State NE | LB | Cozad | 6’0′ 215 lbs
Now that we have a bit more tape and have seen Izaac play in person, it’s clear he will be on the upcoming rankings update. Langley is a throwback LB that can play like his hair is on fire. He has great pursuit for the ball and uses his hands very well. Great at getting to the backfield and has the
Jonas Meairs-Richman Jonas Meairs-Richman 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH DC West | 2024 NE | ATH | DC West | 6’0″ 175 lbs
Jonas is an interesting prospect that is still raw but has a tremendous skillset. He plays QB, but is very dangerous with his legs. Meairs-Richman does a solid job reading the option and making the appropriate call. He can bait defenses with his roll-outs before finding a receiver downfield. I’d like to see a bit more tape from Jonas or to see him at a camp. Nice upside!
Bryor Sherman Bryor Sherman 6'1" | 285 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2024 NE | OL | Omaha Central | 6’1″ 285 lbs
Central left guard Bryor Sherman Bryor Sherman 6'1" | 285 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2024 NE is a player to keep an eye on this summer. The Eagles have pumped out some nice OL/DL talent recently, Sherman could be one of the next men up. I haven’t seen much tape from Bryor’s junior year but with a new offensive scheme and a season of experience under his belt, I’m expecting to hear a lot of noise from him.
Jayden Teichmeier Jayden Teichmeier 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Adams Central | 2024 NE | WR | Adams Central | 5’11” 160 lbs
Adams Central’s Jayden Teichmeier Jayden Teichmeier 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Adams Central | 2024 NE had a nicely productive junior season in which he hauled in 30 receptions for 535 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. I haven’t seen any tape from Jayden’s junior season but I know you don’t end up with that level of production without having some football talent. I’m hoping to catch him at a camp this summer.
Jordan Vazquez-Shaw Jordan Vazquez-Shaw 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Omaha North | 2024 State NE | OL | Omaha North | 6’4″ 265 lbs
Jordan is a player that flies under-the-radar in a star-studded Vikings squad. Vasquez-Shaw was a prospect that caught my eye at a practice last summer, where he was testing the waters on the OL & DL. At the start of the season he took over the right tackle spot and ran with it. He does have some rawness to his game, but has the measurables and skillset to advance to the collegiate level. He does a great job winning inside leverage and has the strength to overpower defenders to finish with a pancake block. Great length that you like to see at the tackle position. Good mobility as well.
Javonte Walker Javonte Walker 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Millard South | 2024 State NE | DB | Millard South | 6’0″ 175 lbs
Another Patriot player that you should add to your radar sooner rather than later. I caught Walker at the WA Top Prospects showcase where he displayed nice fluidity with his hips and quick footwork. He is a lot lengthier than you expect and can use it to his advantage very well when making a play for the ball. Unfortunately an injury kept Javonte sidelined but he looks more than ready to get back on the field.
Tucker Wiegert Tucker Wiegert 6'2" | 250 lbs | OL Grand Island Northwest | 2024 State NE | OL | Grand Island Northwest | 6’2″ 255 lbs
I didn’t have more than a few clips until the other day, now that I get to see more of Tucker’s game, I’m liking how he moves. Tucker does a good job staying low and gaining leverage over his opponent. He has great leg drive and can forcefully move defenders off their anchor. Wiegert had some impressive pancake blocks in his clips, showing his mean streak on the field. Still need to see a little more, but definitely worth a jump to the rankings.
Jamari Williams Jamari Williams 5'9" | 180 lbs | LB Lincoln Southwest | 2024 State NE | LB | Lincoln Southwest | 5’9″ 180 lbs
Jamari was another player stuck in a loaded positional group. Now with several players graduating, Jamari will have a chance to take on a starting spot for the Silver Hawks. I’ve had the chance to watch Williams in 7v7 play and can say he looks solid in coverage. He flows to the ball very well and can cover underneath passes. I haven’t had a chance to see him hit in person, but from his tape he looks like he can lay the wood.
