Quarterback
#37: Graham Greseth (Rogers Middle School)
Flashed a big arm but was inconsistent throughout 1-on-1s. Good size at nearly 6’2 and 165 lbs. and went 4.72 and 4.79 in the short-shuttle and 8’8 in the broad. Frame gives him some potential versatility and upside positionally as well.
#27: Gregory Reed (Robbinsdale Middle School)
One of the more athletic QBs in attendance, Reed flashed some impressive throws throughout the day but was inconsistent in his mechanics. Good accuracy, threw a solid deep ball, and navigated the pocket cleanly and smoothly with good footwork during drills.
Running Back
#51: Knox Andrus Knox Andrus 5'8" | 150 lbs | RB MN (Cambridge-Isanti)
Andrus is legit. A consensus contender for one of the best overall prospects in attendance, Andrus went 4.88 and 4.87 in the 40, 4.59 x2 in the short-shuttle, and 9’1 and 9’4 in the broad jump for a very impressive showing during the opening testing portion of the PRzNEXT Minnesota Combine. Andrus was also excitingly fluid, natural and comfortable in situations and 1-on-1s scenarios all over the field, had great COD skills, and was elusive and dangerous in space. He impressed both coaches and scouts alike yesterday in Brooklyn Park and also brought speed, speed, and more speed to the table.
#30: Carter Wilkinson Carter Wilkinson 5'10" | 170 lbs | RB MN (Lakeville South)
Showed up during both testing and competition, posting a 4.81 short-shuttle and 8’2″ broad jump. He took good angles, owns solid size, and has a great frame that can add mass at the high school level. Liked how he competed during 1-on-1s.
#22: Zachary Spain (Bishop Ryan Catholic School)
Spain showed a ton of on-field intellect and instincts that served him well when making people miss and winning reps in 1-on-1s. Sees and uses space well, processes quickly, and had good speed as well.
Wide Receiver
#33: Jonathan Moore (Monticello)
Monticello was in the house big-time this Sunday! Jonny Moore is a well-known name in the MN middle school football and basketball scenes and had a heckuva showing on Sunday in Brooklyn Park. Moore passed the eye test, possesses long arms and a thick build, and was swagged out and then some. He was nearly unguardable during 1-on-1s as well, as he’s a fluid athlete who changes direction well and displayed quick feet, soft hands, body control, effective releases at the LOS, and a ton of confidence at the catch point. Moore pulled off some highlight reel-worthy snags during 1-on-1s and will be coming into the Monticello program ready to make an impact.
#34: Greyson Morris (Monticello)
The second half of the dynamic Monti duo to show up and show out at the inaugural PRzNEXT Minnesota Combine, fellow 2028 WR Greyson Morris brought good size to the table and flashed some serious quickness during 1-on-1s, which was reinforced by his 4.56 and 4.66 on the short-shuttle during testing. Morris earned some good wins and flashed some good reps throughout the day.
#50: Jeffrey Noah (Falcon Ridge Middle School)
Nearly 5’10, Noah was quick and explosive (4.87 short-shuttle & 9′ and 9’2″ in the broad jump) and demonstrated great hands as well. He caught everything that came his way and had a strong performance during 1-on-1s yesterday.
#20: Colton Cotter (Prairie View Middle School)
Super quick at the top of the route, Cotter made some DBs look silly during 1-on-1s and was especially dangerous running double-moves on unsuspecting corners. Good quickness as well. Went 4.78 in the short-shuttle and 8’5″ on the broad jump.
Offensive Line
#54: Paulo Espinosa Paulo Espinosa 5'10" | 255 lbs | DL MN (Bloomington Jefferson)
Already nearly 6′ and pushing 255 pounds, future Jefferson Jaguar mauler Espinosa was an eye-catcher amongst a strong OL group and was a fluid athlete possessing mobility, smooth COD skills for his size, decent bend, and a ton of strength at the point of attack. Good day for the Bloomington product.
Defensive Line
#53: Eldrick Tyus-Vang Eldrick Tyus-Vang 5'10" | 200 lbs | DL Highland Park Middle School | 2028 MN (Osseo Middle School)
Good showing in the DL group from Tyus-Vang. Big, physical, used his hands well, and was very coachable. Good reviews all around from the Osseo Middle School product.
Linebacker
#35: Mavryk Mohr (Maple Grove)
Already 5’11 and 155 pounds, Maple Grove’s Mohr balled down during competition portions of the event and has some good size on him that he used well in 1-on-1 scenarios. He used his long arms well when closing on RBs, was one of the more physical prospects in attendance, and is going to be really effective when he can fill in and add some strength and mass to his frame. Really like how he track and closed on ball carriers.
#9: Ryker Gerlach (Maple Grove Middle)
Already 5’10 and nearly 190 pounds, Gerlach was just itching to hit someone and his playstyle reflected the more physical aspects of the game of football. Big kid, noticeable strength, very coachable, and good hustle as well.
Defensive Back
#47: Julius Queeglay (Jackson Middle School)
Already an impressive athlete who went 4.82 in the 40, 4.44 in the short-shuttle, and 9′ in the broad jump for one of the best testing performances at the entire PRzNEXT MN Combine, Queeglay played a little high in his backpedal, but I love the pace he brought out of his breaks, knack for breaking up passes, speed to be able to stay on top of WRs going deep, and patience when allowing a WRs route to develop. He did some work with the ball in his hands as well, showing off elusiveness and quickness in space. Tons of upside and versatility in that athletic profile.
#45: Ka’shawn Parker-Watkins (Franklin Middle)
Went 4.82 in the short-shuttle and flashed some strong reps during 1-on-1 competition at the end of the inaugural PRzNEXT Minnesota Combine. Patient in coverage, mirrored WRs well, had the speed to stay on top of WRs going vertical, and showed pace out of his breaks. He picked off a couple passes during 1-on-1s and was overall disruptive in coverage.
