Our rankings alone jumped from “Top 75” to 145 of the top sophomore prospects across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To kick off coverage of this class, I wanted to roll out some “Prospect Profiles” of each of the ranked prospects. In these prospect profiles, I will highlight important info about that prospect, including measurables, links for their Twitter/Hudl, notable speed and strength marks (40-yard times and max-out lifts), offers, and locate some strengths for each player. All 40-yard times, track times, vertical jumps, and lifting stats come directly from the player's Hudl or Twitter or have been recorded at a showcase I have attended.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next up, let's take a look at the RBs, who are starting to develop into a solid group. We ranked 16 total RBs, with some of them holding legit two-way potential. These are RB #11-16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the full 365-prospect rankings and watchlist&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/nebraska/rankings/2026-rankings/"
