We are super excited to be days away from what should be another great Stock Up Showcase. We have players from 3 different states, locked in to attend Sunday’s showcase. Before then, I wanted to do some research into some of the prospects and draw up some previews of prospects that I’m looking forward to seeing.
Check out these 6 prospects that will be in attendance for the Stock Up Showcase:
Waverly (NE) OL Duo: OL coaches in attendance are in for a treat with this elite 2025 duo from Waverly. Juniors Ayden Amos Ayden Amos 6'0" | 240 lbs | OL Waverly | 2025 State NE and Chase Dittenber Chase Dittenber 6'0" | 265 lbs | OL Waverly | 2025 State NE were pivotal parts of one of the most dangerous rushing attacks in Class B. Both are similar in size and play on the interior line with Chase playing center and Ayden handling right guard duties. What I like about these guys is that they come from well-coached programs that pay attention to the details. Very physical players. Chase is accurate with his snaps and shows great chemistry with his QB. I really liked Ayden’s mobility when watching his tape, especially on pull plays. Looking forward to getting a good look at these guys in person.

Chase Dittenber Chase Dittenber 6'0" | 265 lbs | OL Waverly | 2025 State NE | 2025 | 6’0″ 250 lbs | Twitter | Hudl
Grady Kelly | 2025 | RB/ATH | Central Valley (NE) | 6’0″ 185 lbs
Talk about a breakout season! Central Valley’s Grady Kelly put 8-man football on notice after rushing for 2,006 yards and 38 rushing touchdowns on only 179 carries (11.6 ypc.). When watching Grady’s tape I can’t help but notice how efficient and effective he is with his cuts. His great vision and trust in his blockers allow him to make quick, smart adjustments on a dime. He’s also a pretty nimble runner, displaying the ability to fit through tight creases before exploding through them for big gains. He has great balance and lower body strength, making him a tough player to tackle on first contact. Kelly was also a key part of the Cougar’s defense, racking up 107 tackles, 9 TFLs, and an interception on the season. Straight-up baller!
Pierce McCrary | 2025 | Cedar Rapids Kennedy (IA) | 6’2″ 175 lbs
I haven’t seen tape on every receiver who will be in attendance, but I would say Pierce is on my list of candidates to take home the WR MVP award. McCrary enjoyed a solid junior season, hauling in 27 receptions for 456 yards and 3 receiving touchdowns. Just from his Hudl tape, Pierce looks the part of a next-level prospect with great size at 6’2″ and 175 pounds while being smooth and fluid like a smaller receiver. What stood out about Pierce’s game is that he’s a threat at all levels of the field with a full route tree and elite awareness of weak spots in defenses. He does an excellent job in all parts of the route from getting clean releases, can create leverage with the stem of the route, and is explosive at the breakoff point. Pierce has the straight-line speed to stretch defenses and has the elite burst to take short passes for long gains. Pierce could be in store for a big day on Sunday!
Ahman Langton Ahman Langton 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR MOC-Floyd Valley | 2025 State IA | 2025 | ATH | Moc-Floyd Valley (IA) | 6’0″ 155 lbs
Here’s another early candidate for WR MVP… or even the DB MVP. MOC-Floyd Valley’s Ahman Langton Ahman Langton 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR MOC-Floyd Valley | 2025 State IA is a Prep Redzone Showcase vet who will be back for what should be another great performance. Ahman is coming off a hot junior campaign which ended with 36 receptions for 696 yards and 5 receiving touchdowns. Langton was also a key player on defense and special teams, also racking up 26.5 tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 interceptions, and averaged 22.5 yards per kick return. Ahman does a phenomenal job beating whatever coverage he faces with how well he can find the weak zones and create separation from man coverage with his footwork/route-running. Great hands— catches nearly everything coming his way. He’s very twitchy with the ball in his hands and can make defenders miss in the open field. Looking back at his testing numbers from the spring, Ahman ended top 5 in each of the drills posting a 4.85 40-yard dash, 4.47 shuttle drill, 8’11” broad jump, and 7.25 L-drill. Langton recently picked up an offer from Northwestern College and he could be adding to that list after this weekend.
Cohen Rohde | 2025 | DL/ATH | Sumner-Eddyville-Miller (NE) | 6’4″ 215 lbs
One of the top players out of Nebraska’s 6-man ranks, Cohen Rohde played a huge part in the SEM’s championship run, ending his season with 62 total tackles, 25 TFLs, 3 sacks, an interception, 22 receptions, and 305 receiving yards. Cohen is a monster already at 6’4″ and 215 pounds with great athleticism and explosiveness. Cohen is a versatile piece on the defensive front, where he can play with his hand in the dirt or as a stand-up edge rusher, all while changing how he attacks blockers. He can use his strength to bull-rush lineman and he has the twitchiness to use speed and finesse moves to disengage at the LOS. He’s also a legit prospect at tight end, so I’m hoping to see Cohen get in on some offensive drills too. Very impressive player!
