If you want to be included in future articles like this make sure to DM me your highlights at @MJ_NFLDraft. I’ll be focusing on athletes who I haven’t watched up to this point to start. I’m excited to see what more WI has to offer!
St. Catherine’s has developed a lot of impressive football players over the years. I’m excited to watch RB/S Amari Davis Amari Davis 5’10” | 160 lbs | LB St.Catherines | 2026 State WI make his way through the program. As a freshman, Davis stood out from the crowd in his freshman games. At RB, Amari already possesses the vision and instincts to make something out of nothing. His short area agility paired with his vision led to a lot of highlights of him weaving through the defense for big gains on plays where it looked like he would be stopped at the goal line. The 5’10” RB also proved to be a tough tackle. He has a low center of gravity that allows him to run through tackles and finish by falling forward.
On defense you see a lot of those same traits shine through. He reads plays quickly, doesn’t hesitate to attack downhill towards the ball, and he is a sound tackler. His natural athleticism also gives him solid range. Amari is working towards being an impressive prospect.
Highlights
Another St. Cat’s athlete that jumps off the tape is sophomore RB Jerome Hinton Jerome Hinton 5’9″ | 160 lbs | RB Racine Saint Catherine’s | 2025 State WI . St. Cat’s always seems to have an electric RB. The pipeline will continue when it’s Jerome’s time to take varsity snaps. The 5’9″ RB thrives with his quick burst/acceleration. He just needs a glimpse of a crease from his OL and he will capitalize on it. It will be interesting to see how St. Cat’s uses all these weapons. Hinton also lists slot on his Twitter bio. That short area agility and acceleration would continue to shine out there as well.
Highlights
The 6’1″ 180 lbs TE/WR has been making a name for himself this offseason in the 7 on 7 circuit. That sent me back to his film. I believe Charlie is more of a WR at the next level, but in Menomonie’s run heavy offense he gets more opportunities as a TE. We get to see reps from him out wide and inline as a TE. From both alignments Charlie has repeatedly shown that he can get a good release with his quickness. Behrend always seems to find a way to get open. He does it with speed going over the middle, and with his route running. His experience at TE has also allowed him to develop as a very good blocker with the power to pancake defenders in the front seven and out wide.

Jase spent his sophomore season being a two way impact player for Edgar HS. The 5’10” 180 lbs athlete made his plays from the RB and LB positions. While he isn’t the ideal size, Jase made his biggest impact at OLB. His get off and speed allowed him to rush the edge with success. He also does a good job of using his hands to shed blocks. Jase also has the speed needed for the LB position to be a sideline to sideline tackler. He will most likely need to be off the ball at the next level, but his athleticism and quick processing of plays is next level.
On offense, Jase plays RB like an LB. One cut, downhill, angry runner that rips through arm tackles. The bonus is that his athleticism fits the RB position. He can stretch the defense laterally on sweeps and is a threat to go the distance if you don’t keep him corralled within the box. He still has two more years of HS ball, but even now he looks like at least a D3 prospect.
