This group was so talented. We saw very athletic players, big frames, impressive hands, and a mix of talent for every level of college competition. In today's article we have 8 more athletes that caught my eye, so let's dive in right away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lofton O'Groske","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Coon Rapids","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"We start off with an impressive '24 WR out of MN. Lofton O'Groske is a 6'1u0022 193 lbs receiver that is blessed with next level athleticism. He proved it during the combine of the Mega Camp. Lofton ran a 4.65 40, had great jumps of 9'3u0022 broad and 36.6u0022 vertical. He also demonstrated that his short area burst and agility are very strong with a 6.87 L-drill and 4.13 pro agility time. On tape those numbers come to life. Lofton has enough speed to get deep, but he is at his best when he is using his burst to either with in tight quarters or explode out of route breaks. Lofton is also impressive using his hands to create separation from DBs without drawing penalties. Lastly, Lofton has many highlights where he is twisting or elevating or contorting his body in some way to adjust to the ball. He tracks and adjusts very well. Definitely a rising name to know.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a3c8cd5973"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='933412' first='Caden' last='Werth']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Wausau East","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the top speedsters of the Mega Camp was the Wausau East 2024 WR. Caden dominated with a 4.5 40 yard dash, 4.36 pro agility, and 6.87 L-Drill. Whether sprinting down the field on a go route, or making defenders miss when they are closing on him Caden can do it at full speed. He has burst in tight spaces and the elusiveness to leave defenders tackling air. His highlights show his natural playmaking ability in space as it starts with multiple big time punt returns. We are in store for a breakout year from the 5'10u0022 170 lbs WR. Just get the ball in his hands quickly and let him go to work after the catch. If the defense doesn't swarm to him he will make them pay.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a3c8cd5a17"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["368544"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"An exciting WR that brings a long, lean, explosive package to the tackle is [player_tooltip player_id='368544' first='Kadyn' last='Weber']. Kadyn hit the tape at 6'4u0022 157 lbs. He will need to fill that frame out, but the lower body explosive ability is exceptional at his length. Kadyn jumped 9'11u0022 in the broad and 37.6u0022 in the vertical. That gives his QB a monstrous target area. The '24 uses his size to box out defenders to protect the ball, and his size gives him a major advantage in jump/fade balls.

It was clear he had the size, checked in at 6'5u0022 226.5 lbs, but I didn't have any tape for the athlete. So I was very excited to see him in River Falls at the Mega Camp. The '25 didn't disappoint either. Eli broad jumped 9'6u0022, 31.3u0022 in the vertical, and ran a 4.69 40 yard dash. Those are all very strong numbers for an athlete his size. Especially since Eli will only be entering his junior season this fall. Johnson also proved that he isn't just an athletic big man. Eli has the hands and fluid movement/body control to be able to create separation with his routes and he uses that size to box out defenders like you would see on the basketball court. Keep your eyes on this kid when the fall rolls around. He also lists DL as his secondary position.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a3c8cd5ac9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='944048' first='Isaac' last='Ellison']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Menomonie","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another big target with a lot of potential to his frame and game is Menomonie WR/TE [player_tooltip player_id='944048' first='Isaac' last='Ellison']. Isaac currently stands at 6'4u0022 190 lbs. The '25 should be considered as a WR and TE right now, but I believe his future is at TE. He ran a 4.8 40 yard dash, and really impressed me with his 9'2u0022 broad jump and 36.5u0022 vertical jump. The big man can cover ground and attack the ball at it's highest point. Ellison is a talented basketball player as well, and I am excited to see if that carries over to his play this fall.

He re-upped my excitement for his junior season with a great showing at the Mega Camp in River Falls. The 6'3u0022 193 lbs athlete has built up a strong frame that has plenty of athleticism to pair with it. Strand is actually a standout at WR and DB based off the tape. Zeke is at his best when using his burst and acceleration. That was illustrated by a 9'8u0022 broad jump and 36.8u0022 vertical jump. That ability also gives him the chance to go up and get the ball over defenders or at his safety position. His short area burst also gives him the chance to close quickly on receivers from his safety position. Keep an eye on the under the radar junior.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a3c8cd5bd6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["586119"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A 2025 that has clearly made a name for himself in MN based off his current ranking is [player_tooltip player_id='586119' first='Dylan' last='Vokal'].

He is 6'1u0022 185 lbs, runs a 4.58 40, 4.31 pro agility, 7.03 L-Drill, and jumps 9'7u0022 and 34.6u0022 in the broad and vertical. As a sophomore, Dylan helped Maple Grove with the State Championship and finish the year undefeated. All his natural athleticism has helped make Vokal a talented punt returner. His vision further boosts his athleticism on the field. The '25 is also a gifted route runner. His quick feet and hips give him the ability to run clean routes as does his body control.

He ran a 4.65 40 yard dash,a  4.38 pro agility, and added a 9'5u0022 broad jump. What really impressed me during the one on one and routes on air was that Cooper made plays with both his athleticism or with the nuanced parts of the position. He didn't always just try to outrun everyone. White showed that he could get open with his route running and the balance, body control, and feet needed to succeed that way. Get ready for Cooper to take the next step this fall for the Cardinals.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648a3c8cd5c78"} /-->
