'26s Poised For Their Breakout Season

We are working on updating the Class of 2026 rankings. During the process it has become clear that there are several athletes who have had the talent, but now they look like they are finally in position for that to translate to big production on the field. These athletes are going to go from minimal varsity impact to game changing impacts in 2024. Get ahead of the curve and get these student athletes on your recruiting boards today!    QB1 for Brookfield Central looks poised for a big step in his career this fall. In 2023 the '26 played in all 10 games at QB and finished with 415 passing yards and 271 rushing yards plus 12 total TDs. The 6'4" 215 lbs junior is in a great position to beat those numbers. He has a talented OL in front of him to give him time to throw and also open up lanes for him on the ground.   Seymour will be bringing plenty of talent too. He is an imposing dual threat QB. AJ is a raw prospect as a passer. The arm strength is plentiful and the junior makes it look easy throwing darts 30+ yards downfield. Those big plays through the air show the potential within his accuracy. If he can develop his footwork and body mechanics we will see more consistency in accuracy and a lot more production through the air. On the ground AJ transforms into a powerful RB. He runs through arm tackles with ease, has speed to break off the big gainer when he hits green grass, and he won't hesitate to throw a block after making the pitch. Seymour is a talented prospect, and with the potential for improvement within his game, plus the talent around him, we could see a big year from the junior.     Carter is a 6'2" 260 lbs OG for Pardeeville who is going to be making a name for himself this fall. The small school prospect is not short of talent. As a sophomore his tape shows a lineman with easy power, good knee bend, consistent use of leverage, and powerful hands that all combined to be a dominant run blocker. Carter brings the mentality of a college guard to the field already too. He finishes blocks. If the whistle hasn't blown then the '26 IOL is trying to put his man in the dirt. This fall I'm excited to see more film coming out so we can get a fresh look at the rising IOL. He is on his way towards being one of the top IOL in his Class.     Michael was able to get a taste of varsity action in 2023. He saw the field in five games on defense and also got some time on offense in a few of those games. Farr finished those games with 12 tackles, 1 TFL, 4 receptions, 74 yards, and 3 TDs. The rising 2026 is poised to fly past all those numbers this fall.   Farr brings that physicality in his game that sets a lot of college prospects apart from the crowd. He can be physical at corner while still being able to turn and run with receivers and battle for the ball. On offense the '26 ATH really shows his athleticism as he quickly can get to open space on the field or behind his DB for big plays. The 2026 also has great instincts with the ball in his hands, highlighted by his scoring efficiency and returner abilities. I can't wait to see Michael fully unlock his game with consistent varsity action this fall. He is going to impress a lot of people.     Kayden is going to be one of the best athletes, and offensive mismatches in northern WI this season. The 2026 is just waiting to be unleashed on the varsity field this fall. In a few games in 2023 the WR/DB finished with 5 catches, 134 yards, and 2 TDs plus 15 tackles on defense.   Those numbers will be easy to beat this fall. I expect to see the super athletic WR to take over the featured spot and put up big numbers. He has the athleticism to do it. This summer the 6'1" athlete ran mid 4.5s and was one of the top overall testers at the Minnesconsin Mega Camp while going against 800+ athletes. On top of the unfair athleticism, Kayden also brings great ball skills to the field and with the ball in his hands he has the speed to beat angles and quickness to win in tight quarters. A lot of people are going to learn about this kid this fall, hopefully.     Brody won't be beating his strong 2023 numbers because he will be playing a different position. As a sophomore we saw Brody put up 980 all purpose yards as a receiver/returner. This fall he will be playing QB for Winneconne. We will still see big numbers though, because Schaffer is going to be bringing a dangerous dual threat ability to the field. Can't go wrong with the idea of putting the ball in your best athlete's hands every snap.   Brody is coming off a great summer too, which is only getting us more excited here at PRZ WI for what is to come for him. He ran 4.46 multiple times vertical jumped 34.9", broad jumped 9'3", and showed elite agility with a 4.14 pro agility and 7.09 3 cone drill. It all translates to the field too. Brody is a gifted playmaker with the ball in his hands. He has great instincts for where blocks are and finds the clean paths to burst through on the fly. With him at QB Winneconne is going to always have a chance for a game changing play at any moment. Keep a close eye on the ATH.     It won't be easy for Kevin to breakout this year compared to his 2023 season because he put up 730 yards as a sophomore. Bigger things are coming for Kevin's career though. The 5'10" 180 lbs '26 RB is an outstanding track athlete in the offseason. He runs a 10.86 100M and a 21.98 200M. The elite speed translates to the field. Every time he gets the chance to flash the speed we see him leave a big gap between him and the defense. A gap that grows until he crosses the goal line. Kevin was the team's leading rusher in 2023, and they could try to use that elite speed even more and beat his 150 carries from 2023. If that happens he will be pushing for 1,000 yards and put out highlights that catch a lot of attention.
