<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BROOKLYN PARK, MN--</strong> We are not done yet with content from the Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase from Brooklyn Park. Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers, Defensive Backs are featured a bunch on this list especially in the 2026 and 2025 classes with plenty of next-level talent all over the place.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1120576' first='Savy' last='Vath'], QB, Rochester John Marshall (2026) </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Savy_vath">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1130540,"width":"329px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/157-Savy-Vath-crop-4800x3152-1703885735.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1130540" style="width:329px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A first look prospect that showed some upside with his athleticism in Brooklyn Park was Rochester John Marshall 2026 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1120576' first='Savy' last='Vath']. Savy was a prospect that impressed me with his thru his reps and finished every rep from start to finish of our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase with plenty of finesse shown off. In the reps I watched from Savy in Indy drills he showed off quick play recognition and led his wide recivers with ample precision on intermediate routes. He is certainly a player to watch in the coming years out of Rochester.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1120573' first='Preston' last='Holberg'], DB, New Ulm (2025) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1130585,"width":"337px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/30-Preston-Holberg-crop-4800x3152-1703887135.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1130585" style="width:337px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Preston was another prospect from the southern part of the state that caught my eyes last Sunday at our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase out of New Ulm. The agility and open hips that Preston showed off some promise especially in with his change of direction. Preston played with significant balance throughout the reps I watched in Brooklyn Park, as he was impressive with his hands as well. His testing numbers showed upside as well with a 7.28 in the L-Drill and constantly in the low 4.6s with his pro agility. He shows off some rawness on tape that I felt developed quickly with the work he got in at our Minnesota Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1120509' first='Alex' last='Bergan'], DB, St. Michael-Albertville (2025)</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexBergan8">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1130584,"width":"325px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/147-Alex-Bergan-crop-4800x3152-1703887106.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1130584" style="width:325px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex was one of the most poised defensive backs I had tracked on my list, as the 2025 prospect from St. Michael-Albertville was quite impressive during our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase. I mostly caught reps from Alex during Indy and 1v1s and the agile movement he showed off in his lower body. He also showed off smooth poise in the 1v1s I witnessed, as Alex had a steady knack with his vision and ball-tracking ability and also was able to use his length to his advantage. I thought his skillsets in 1v1s exceeded what his testing numbers will show you, although he did some off some sound testing numbers that showed off that agile body type. He certainly looks like a next-level DB in my eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='586119' first='Dylan' last='Vokal'], WR, Maple Grove (2025) </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/DylanVokal">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1130603,"width":"335px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/54-Dylan-Vokal-crop-4800x3152-1703887971.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1130603" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another stud from the NW Metro this time on the offensive side of the ball was yet another Maple Grove Crimson in 2025 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='586119' first='Dylan' last='Vokal']. This young man has been on our radar heavily over the last several months, and the mix of his agile and excellent football instincts showed off extremely well at our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase. Dylan also showed off the vivid catch radius he has, as Dylan measured up fluidly to what you see on tape with his hands. I second my collegue [player_tooltip player_id='1257447' first='Oliver' last='West'] that this young man certainly looks like a Division I prospect in my eyes as his testing numbers fit at that level of football as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='700032' first='Kayden' last='Meverden'], WR, Wausau East (2026)</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/Kayden_meverden">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1130624,"width":"325px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/150-Kayden-Meverden-crop-4800x3152-1703889038.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1130624" style="width:325px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of very few Wisconsin prospects that were standouts on my list from the Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase was Wausau East 2026 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='700032' first='Kayden' last='Meverden']. Kayden impressed me with his football IQ as I thought with his vision, he paid high attention to detail by attacking the weak-side of the defensive backs hip and used that to his advantage on multiple reps. He also showed off his skillsets with his testing numbers, inside 4.8 on his 40 yard dashes, low 4.6s in the pro-agility, and 7.32 in the L-Drill as I thought Kayden was a WR prospect that played bigger than his measurables and still has plenty of growth to be seen with his 6'1 160 pound frame. Kayden certainly should be stockriser amongst 2026 wide receivers in the state of Wisconsin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
