Harrison Smith Harrison Smith 6'2" | 210 lbs | DL Waverly | 2025 State NE | 2025 | DL | Waverly | 6’3″ 210 lbs
Debut Ranking: #51
An absolute beast in the trenches! Defensive lineman Harrison Smith Harrison Smith 6'2" | 210 lbs | DL Waverly | 2025 State NE was a key player on a Waverly defense that was among the best in the state. Harrison’s aggressiveness immediately pops when you cut on his tape, showing an explosive get-off and active hands at the point of attack. Harrison does very well at setting/maintaining the edge with the ability to shed blocks and has a great pursuit of the ball. He plays with a strong base and can win battles with his smart use of leverage. Smith showed that he could collapse the pocket with his ability to get depth quickly and showed some nice bend when pressuring the QB. Harrison looked like a great overall athlete on tape, with some solid plays as a tight end/fullback on offense. Buy stock in this guy NOW!
Austen Holt Austen Holt 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Norris | 2025 State NE | 2025 | DB/ATH | Norris | 5’11” 175 lbs
Debut Ranking: #91
Norris’ Austen Holt Austen Holt 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Norris | 2025 State NE is on a steady rise after a solid junior year. Holt shined in his first full season as a starter, ending second on the team in tackles with 74, recorded 3 TFLs, recovered three fumbles, and snagged an interception. I’m not really one to compare players on here, but watching Austen’s tape, I couldn’t help but notice he plays like his UNK-bound brother Eli, just from the safety position. He’s a super physical player who impressed with his tackling, especially in open space. Austen will not hesitate at all to step up to deliver a monster hit, using enough force to jar balls loose on occasion. Holt is super reactive in coverage and does a great job reading the QB and breaking on the ball immediately, displaying top-tier range. Great run defender, showing off his ability to fill in gaps and flow to the ball very well. Should be a big-time enforcer on the Titan’s defense in 2024!
Aiden Zajicek Aiden Zajicek 6'5" | 210 lbs | ATH Wilber-Clatonia | 2025 State NE | 2025 | ATH/LB | Wilber-Clatonia | 6’6″ 215 lbs
Debut Ranking: #130
Don’t look now, but the Wolverines have a very athletic and hungry group of players coming back in 2024. One very interesting player to watch out for is Aiden Zajicek Aiden Zajicek 6'5" | 210 lbs | ATH Wilber-Clatonia | 2025 State NE , who has massive two-way upside at tight end and linebacker. He finished his junior campaign with 32 tackles, 3 TFLs, a sack, and a fumble recovery while also recording 93 receiving yards and a touchdown. On offense, Aiden’s elite measurables (6’6″ and 215 pounds) and long wingspan make him an automatic mismatch no matter where you line him up. His huge catch radius provides QBs with a nice safety blanket receiver, especially over the middle of the field. Defensively, Aiden is a versatile player who can fit several roles and line up virtually anywhere on the defense. He can use his size and length to wreak havoc at the line of scrimmage and has the athleticism to play off the ball in coverage. Very excited to see how Aiden continues to develop this offseason.
