UW-Eau Claire OL/DL MEGA Camp: Nate’s Standouts, Part II

EAU CLAIRE-- We head back to the beautiful city of Eau Claire for our Part II standouts from the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp. This list has more depth for our Prep Redzone subscribers, college coaches with four states represented and 13 names to know that caught our eyes. Lets go!   Anaise Dotson, DL, Minneapolis North, MN 2025 <a href="https://x.com/AnaiseDotson58">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/06/IMG_1104_746905-rotated-crop-481x316-1718467216.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1303705" style="width:317px;height:auto" /></figure>   Talk about a DL prospect that won every single rep I watched in Eau Claire, that was certainly the case with Minneapolis North's Anaise Dotson. His impressive hands were in the driver's seat, as Anaise not only showed off an excellent pad-level but played with a huge throttle on every rep he showed off. He showed off very instinctive positioning and adjusted swiftly when he did not have the position angle he wanted. He also showed off as one of the top testers amongst the DL group, with a 1.20 in the flying 10 and a 4.55 at 5'11 239 pounds which also sold why his first step was extremely successful in 1v1s. Anaise already has a couple offers on his plate, and I certainly expect more recruiting exposure to come his way as I am surprised he didn't get more offers than what he had after camp.   [player_tooltip player_id='1299322' first='Brady' last='Williamson'], OL, Burlington Central, IL 2026 <a href="https://x.com/bradywilliamso">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/06/IMG_1105-rotated-crop-481x316-1718467291.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1303708" style="width:325px;height:auto" /></figure>   There wasn't a ton of college coach attention yet on the younger group in Eau Claire, but quickly I could see that Burlington Central 2026 offensive linemen [player_tooltip player_id='1299322' first='Brady' last='Williamson'] was worth a look. The 5'11 290 pounder wore his frame well for his measurables. He showed off pressing downhill leverage and was a prospect that I saw a great amount of upside to grow. His strength alone won a couple reps I watched, but if he can develop a more balanced pad-level to grow over summer camps and beyond, he shows off a good next-level ceiling. I also thought his first step when I glimpsed at his tape, showed off high fluidity as his strength has some zest to it at the point of attack. An Illinois prospect to watch develop in 2026.   [player_tooltip player_id='942619' first='Alex' last='Schradle'], OL/DL, Clayton, WI 2025 <a href="https://x.com/AlexSchradle">Twitter</a>   Alex was another small town hidden gem at the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp that popped out on a few different occasions. Was impressed with his testing numbers at 6'1 263 pounds with a 1.30 flying 10 and a 4.85 in his pro-agility. With the reps I caught, he showed off sound amounts of fluidity within his first step and beyond with his footwork. He also showed off good coordination with his feet too as I was impressed with his balance throughout the reps I caught. His first step certainly has some fire out of it on tape as a pulling guard that has plenty of agility for his frame. Looks like a Saturdays prospect in my eyes.   [player_tooltip player_id='1080734' first='Mickael' last='Byrd'], DL, Rich Township, IL 2025 <a href="https://x.com/M1ckael3">Twitter</a>   Mickael was a DE prospect that passed the eye test with his lower body length in the early going of the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp with good size at 6'2 223 pounds and hit speed threshold I was looking to see with a 1.18 on his flying 10. I felt Mickael's reactiveness off the snap appeared to be quite instinctive with his long strides in the reps I watched and that was confirmed with a glimpse of his tape as a DE prospect that is high on upside growing his technique with his hands as one that has some wirey range he can cover with his vision on tape. Another prospect I will give a scholarship-level grade to in Eau Claire.   [player_tooltip player_id='1251520' first='Jackson' last='Lindell'], OL/DL, Mosinee, WI 2025 <a href="https://x.com/JacksonLindell2">Twitter</a>   It should be no surprise at this point that the Wausau area was a hotbed at the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp, as Mosinee's [player_tooltip player_id='1251520' first='Jackson' last='Lindell'] was another standout in Eau Claire in my eyes. At 6'1 257 pounds, Jackson brought out a very intriguing 4.67 pro agility which is excellent for his size as he lived up to that change of direction when I watched him during reps. A first-team All Conference performer on both sides of the ball as a junior, Jackson showed off swift hands and you could tell he has a polished football IQ with some of the position angles he was able to work thru with the physicality he brought on every rep. No doubt a scholarship-level prospect that has position flexibility on either side of the ball which college coaches will love to know.   Andrew Haase, DL, Ankeny, IA 2025 <a href="https://x.com/Andrewhaase88">Twitter</a>   Andrew was one of the lone Iowa prospects that made my list of standouts, but no doubt this kid brought what college coaches wanted to see. The 6'2 223 pounder, was one that I got on my radar during Indy drills with his explosive hips he showed off, and that crossed paths with the testing numbers he put up which was an excellent 4.55 in the pro agility and great speed in the flying 10 with a 1.20. Andrew did a sound job with his quick angling footwork from the reps I watched in the later reps. I would expect this young man's scholarship opportunities to certainly increase with one offer on the table already from Wayne State.   Zach Dahnert, DL, Owatonna, MN 2025 <a href="https://x.com/ZachDahnert">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/183-Zach-Dahnert-crop-4800x3152-1718467459.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1303709" style="width:318px;height:auto" /></figure>   The Prep Redzone Combine veteran Zach Dahnert of Owatonna, was a Minnesota prospect that I loved watching his athleticism grow since the last time I watched him live. He has certainly been working on his speed and agility, and his numbers showed that along with the reps I caught later at the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp. I certainly saw the growth with his first step in the reps I watched as there was some great fluidity I saw in his 6'2 235 pound frame. Zach also improved too with his pad-level as I felt is was more consistently on point as Zach shows off a DL prospect that shows great coachability. He certainly has shown some rising stock this camp season with his seen development.   <a href="https://x.com/ZachDahnert/status/1801410895366455411/video/1">https://x.com/ZachDahnert/status/1801410895366455411/video/1</a>   [player_tooltip player_id='1222039' first='Gavin' last='Meier'], OL, Janesville Parker, WI 2025 <a href="https://x.com/gavinmeier72">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/06/img_5168-crop-3024x1986-1718467501.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1303710" style="width:322px;height:auto" /></figure>   Gavin was certainly one that with the eye-test alone, popped out right away in Eau Claire as the 6'5 270 pounder moved so well for his frame. He certainly was excellent with the hip drive he possessed at the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp and that was seen too by the college coaches that were in attendance as well as all three of our PRZ scouts too. Gavin showed off very long arms that could extend quickly and drive his man into the next area code off the ball with his length and excellent and consistent punch. We got evaluations back to back days on Gavin, and we also loved his character he would bring to any locker room at the next-level. Easy Division FBS I grade in all three of our PRZ scouts eyes.   Blaine Severson, OL/DL, Mondovi, WI 2025<a href="https://x.com/BlaineS_2025"> Twitter</a>   In my eyes, one of the most under the radar prospects on this list is Mondovi 2025 Blaine Severson. Getting to watch him work instinctively during Indy drills, Blaine showed off quite aggressive hands and the leverage I watched him get, showed off a OL prospect that looks like a finisher. He certainly shows off some upside when it comes to his footwork, but the tape shows off a 5'11 280 pound road-grader that constantly gets into the second level and pops out with his quick finishing ability. He is certainly a small-school target to track just outside of the Eau Claire area.   [player_tooltip player_id='1302096' first='Peyton' last='Lemberger'], OL, Fox Valley Lutheran, WI 2025 <a href="https://x.com/Peyton_lemb62">Twitter</a>   Peyton was a OL prospect out of the Fox Valley that certainly showed off some raw yet high upside to grow his skillsets out. At 6'0 234 pounds, he was in the 4.8s with his pro agility which when I watched him later in reps, you could see the jolt he had with his COD getting to his blocker. He impressed me with his persistent pad-level and quick driving of leverage in the reps I watched. You can tell that Peyton has grown already this offseason, as I thought his physical contact was much improved since his junior tape and his angle blocks seemed to have smoother technique at the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp. He is certainly one that can has a good ceiling and a good shot at playing at the next level as a small school target for those WIAC schools especially.   More Standouts from the UWEC OL/DL MEGA Camp   A few quick notes on others prospects that caught my attention in Eau Claire.   [player_tooltip player_id='1191470' first='Jackson' last='Hakes'], DL, Fieldcrest, IL 2025 <a href="https://x.com/JacksonHakes20">Twitter</a>   <ul> <li>Jackson showed off some intriguing pad-level adjustments mid-rep that caught my eyes as he was able to adjust and win the rep with his quick instincts he showed off. </li> </ul>   [player_tooltip player_id='262096' first='Makel' last='Johnson'], DL, Greenfield, WI 2025 <a href="https://x.com/makeljohnson4">Twitter</a>   <ul> <li>As a 5'11 290 pound defensive tackle in Eau Claire, Makel certainly showed off more length with his reach than you would expect for that size. He also showed off good form with his hand placement and positioning from the reps I caught.</li> </ul>   Cartyr Smith, DL/OL, Dowling Catholic, IA 2025 <a href="https://x.com/smithcartyr52">Twitter</a>   <ul> <li>Recorded a 1.21 flying ten and a 4.63 pro agility at 6'0 226 pounds. Didn't get to watch Carter as many reps as I wanted to but what I saw is not only does this kid have some burst off the snap, he also showed off balanced footwork in my live evaluation</li> </ul>
