This list is a great starting point as I will update this list once again prior to August kickoff. Congratulations to those who have made our initial list as we have a strong number of athletes listed as players grow and mature and future positions are more solid next year at this time.
The top athlete listed is 6-3 (195) DreShaun Ross DreShaun Ross 6'3" | 195 lbs | LB Fort Dodge | 2026 State IA (Athlete) of Fort Dodge who right now holds (6) known Division-1 scholarship offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Purdue, Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota to name a few. Ross is an excellent wrestler and should only continue to get better as he continues to gain experience in all sports. Checking in at #2 is 6-3 (270) OL Bryce Kock Bryce Kock 6'3" | 275 lbs | OL West Lyon | 2026 State IA of West Lyon. Kock has a real nice frame to work with and should only get better with repetitions, game experience and fundamentals. Real nice prospect and potential D-1 prospect. Javaris Morgan Javaris Morgan 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Ankeny Centennial | 2026 State IA 5-10 (203) of Ankeny Centennial is currently the #1 RB listed and owns two D-1 offers from University of Northern Iowa and North Dakota. Morgan has been timed at (4.6) in the 40-yd dash.
Mason Beaver Mason Beaver 6'2" | 245 lbs | DL Dowling Catholic | 2026 State IA 6-2 (235) is a well put together defensive lineman at Dowling Catholic and will be one to follow beginning this fall. Talented athlete Lamarious Clark Lamarious Clark 6'1" | 165 lbs | DB Cedar Rapids Prairie | 2026 State IA 6-1 (170) of Cedar Rapids Prairie is a player that shows good vision from the RB position and can outrun defenders on the edge. Eli Robbins Eli Robbins 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH Norwalk | 2026 State IA 6-0 (175) is a solid player listed as an athlete at Norwalk and has improved his game in off-season 7on7 work. Braylin Dieken-Keahey Braylin Dieken-Keahey 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL Ankeny Centennial | 2026 State IA 6-2 (245) of Ankeny Centennial is another young OL prospect. A young man who has great film that I am pretty high on is Brayton Alford Brayton Alford 6'0" | 190 lbs | WR Carroll | 2026 State IA 5-11 (180) from Carroll. His HUDL film showcases good speed and great hands when out running routes. I really like his footwork and ability to close and use leverage on defense from his corner position. High football IQ and well coached.
