<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wisconsin is a state that doesn't get shown enough love when looking at the younger levels.

However, I suspect it was because he was the most/one of the most athletic kids on the team and coaches simply wanted to get the ball in his hands as soon as possible. No actual stats on size, but looks to be decently tall. Also a basketball player, presumably a Guard, he has decent height and is very sudden/quick. Could be a nice option at Running Back or Slot WR, moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1288107"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66571e8db837a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Projection:</strong>&nbsp;Highly ranked in state</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past season, Klippel helped lead the Grafton Gladiators to an 8th Grade D2 title in the highly-competitive AAYFL in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is a state that doesn't get shown enough love when looking at the younger levels. I hope that narrative continues to change over the next few years, as the boom on early prospect identification continues to heat up. Here's a look at nearly 60 names from Wisconsin in the class of 2028 (8th Graders as of May 2024) that are worth taking a look at. Some of these prospects could become big time prospects, as their high school career begins.
