<p><strong>HIGHLIGHTING FOUR RISERS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278827' first='Mason' last='Wahl'], ACGC</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wahl (6-foot-6, 300 pounds) is more than just a big body. We see that watching his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16058527/658ba572578d6e05f0539948">junior highlight video</a>. Wahl's smooth footwork allows him to stay balanced. He's powerful and often overwhelms opponents at this level. Sioux Falls has reportedly offered him a scholarship. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273296' first='Derek' last='Ellens'], WDM Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ellens gives prospective colleges options with his ability to play the three interior positions on the O-Line. He looks fluid operating at center, where he reacts quickly, drives with his legs and plays through the whistle. He claim offers from St. Thomas, Grand View, Upper Iowa and Augustana. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279871' first='Landyn' last='Lewerke'], Clear Lake</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lewerke entered the rankings in our last update and rose up them this time. The Northwest Missouri State commitment impresses during his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15037480/654d7c7102bbd3094874cc8d">junior highlight video</a>. Lewerke is agile and quick. He gets into the chests of opponents before they can react, giving him an early advantage that he builds upon. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1277238' first='Garret' last='Kluesner'], Western Dubuque</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kluesner could end up on defense at the next level. That flexibility should make him attractive to college scouts. His <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16470382/655a4f37176d350b6cdc4eb5">junior highlight video</a> shows us a lineman that embraces the game's physicality. He moves well for a big guy and is athletic. Also a wrestling standout, Kluesner frequently has a leverage advantage on the field. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>HIGHLIGHTING FOUR NEW ADDITIONS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1402852' first='Ryan' last='Beckmann'], Xavier</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beckmann's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18139334/Ryan-Beckmann/highlights">Hudl video</a> reveals a lineman who could end up on the inside on offense or defense. In both instances, he displays good pad level and a sound base. Beckmann beats opponents with his hands and strong leg drive. He plays hard and fast. His best football might be in front of him. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1360467' first='Tariq' last='Miller'], Central Decatur</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>At 6-4, 280, Miller stands out in most settings. That's especially the case when playing Class A high school football in Iowa. The Wyoming commitment overwhelms opponents during his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18794469/6542a5d65b473c0a8056ab4c">junior highlight video</a>. More than being just the biggest, most physical guy on the field Friday nights, Miller can move and block in space. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1299925' first='Carter' last='Holmes'], Benton </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Once you're locked up in a battle with Holmes, you're unlikely to escape without damage. His <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16482454/65406ffec1244e091c9aa52c">junior highlights</a> provide evidence that he's frequently faster and stronger than his opponent. Holmes gets off the snap quickly and into the body of the person across from him before there's time to react. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1360516' first='Hayden' last='Overgaard'], Bishop Heelan </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Overgaard probably deserved more credit for Heelan's run to last year's state championship game, but that's the life of a lineman. He's big and fast as you can witness watching his<a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19165672/655e8740c11b1c082c2f73b2"> junior highlights</a>. Overgaard is especially impressive in run blocking, often getting his opponents out of the way in a hurry. </p>
