Thus far, [player_tooltip player_id='487568' first='Amarion' last='Jackson'] has hauled in 15 receptions for 193 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown through four games. Amarion's dominant sophomore season established his status as a top-tier receiver who needs to be accounted for on every play. He's a threat to strike from anywhere on the field, but his ability to find the sticks and get open on crucial downs is where he kills defenses. Great route runner with good range and athleticism. Jackson has also taken on a bigger role defensively, tallying 10 tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery as the Patriot's starting safety.    Notable Recruiting Notes: Amarion went on a game day visit with the Kansas Jayhawks, who offered him back in late July. Jackson also holds offers from Kansas State, Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, and Illinois.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AjJackson_21/status/1834969450702848088 </div></figure>   2. [player_tooltip player_id='212372' first='DaShawn' last='Prince'] (<a href="https://x.com/DaShawn1213" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17657220/Dashawn-Prince" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), WR - Millard South - 6'3" 185 lbs   Millard South added another massive weapon this offseason with the transfer of former Central Eagle [player_tooltip player_id='212372' first='DaShawn' last='Prince']. Since arriving, Dashawn has already emerged as a big play threat on offense, with seven receptions for 143 yards (20 yards per reception) and two receiving touchdowns. Prince is a big-bodied receiver who excels at going up   Notable Recruiting Notes: Prince holds offers from Nebraska and Northern Iowa.   3. [player_tooltip player_id='487573' first='Isaac' last='Jensen'] (<a href="https://x.com/Isaacjensen_11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17024109/Isaac-Jensen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), TE - Millard South - 6'6" 220 lbs   You read that right; Nebraska's top three junior prospects are all in the Millard South pass-catchers group. Tight end [player_tooltip player_id='487573' first='Isaac' last='Jensen'] has been a fast rising prospect with several Power 4 offers under his belt. The Patriot's tight end has continued to grow both physically and as a player. Isaac's mix of size and athleticism make him an instant mismatch for whoever is tasked with covering him. Jensen currently sits second in receiving yardage for the Patriots with 18 receptions for 271 yards and four receiving touchdowns, which are close to eclipsing his sophomore totals.    Notable Recruiting Notes: Isaac has taken game day visits to Kansas State and Nebraska this season. Jensen holds offers from Minnesota, Florida State, Kansas, Texas A&M, Kansas State, Mizzou, Nebraska, and Iowa State.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/isaacjensen_11/status/1817552104547889397?s=46u0026amp;t=E68-Qp0HEsJ81MamQw4reA </div></figure>   4. [player_tooltip player_id='284046' first='Araf' last='Evans'] Jr (<a href="https://x.com/arafevansjr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/21580088/Araf-Evans-Jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), DB/ATH - Millard North - 6'1" 185 lbs   The Mustangs got a big boost with the arrival of [player_tooltip player_id='284046' first='Araf' last='Evans'] Jr who transferred from Bellevue West. Evans has made himself at home in the Millard North secondary as he's accumulated over 20 tackles and 2 TFLs (only stats for two games). What makes Araf such a great target is via versatility as a defender and overall as a football player. He's great in coverage with natural instincts, technique, and ball skills, while also being providing support against the run. Evans has also flashed his offensive skill set as a receiver. Great athlete who will only continue to pick up looks from schools!    Notable Recruiting Notes: Araf holds offers Penn State, Texas A&M, and Northern Iowa.   5. [player_tooltip player_id='476963' first='Jett' last='Thomalla'] (<a href="https://x.com/JettThomalla" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22540424/Jett-Thomalla" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), QB - Millard South - 6'4" 195 lbs   Last year's state leader in passing yards is back at it again! Millard South's [player_tooltip player_id='476963' first='Jett' last='Thomalla'] returns for his second season as starting QB and looks as dialed in as ever. He's already setting an astounding pace to blow last year's totals out of the water. Through three games, Jett has completed 66% of his passes (98/147) for 1,375passing yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 344 passing yards per game. Thomalla is carving defenses up with his decision-making, cool pocket presence, and top-tier accuracy. It shouldn't be long before the offers start rolling in.    Notable Recruiting Notes: Jett took a game-day visit to Nebraska.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JettThomalla/status/1835028421895688657 </div></figure>   6. [player_tooltip player_id='402156' first='Kaprice' last='Keith'] (<a href="https://x.com/KapriceKeith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17729101/Kaprice-Keith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), DB/ATH - Bellevue West - 6'3" 180 lbs   Bellevue West's [player_tooltip player_id='402156' first='Kaprice' last='Keith'] has been as electric as advertised so far this season. The Bellevue West defender has also been making waves on special teams with 2 punts returned for touchdowns and offense with a rushing score. Kaprice is an extremely rangy defensive back with the speed to cover the entirety of the wild and the instincts to know where to be and when on a consistent basis.    Notable Recruiting Notes:   Kaprice took a game day visit to Nebraska this weekend. Keith also holds an offer from Iowa State.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kapricekeith/status/1837349597309473038?s=46u0026amp;t=E68-Qp0HEsJ81MamQw4reA </div></figure>   7. [player_tooltip player_id='402157' first='Landen' last='Von Seggern'] (<a href="https://x.com/landen_seggern" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17714603/Landen-Vonseggern" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), OT - Millard South - 6'4" 280 lbs & 8. [player_tooltip player_id='487602' first='Carter' last='Glab'] (<a href="https://x.com/Cglab5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17760186/Carter-Glab" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), C - Millard South - 6'3" 265 lbs   The Millard South Patriots have elite talent at the skill positions AND in the trenches with the #1 and #2 ranked offensive linemen in the class, [player_tooltip player_id='402157' first='Landen' last='Von Seggern'] and [player_tooltip player_id='487602' first='Carter' last='Glab']. Landen is donning some new threads after transferring from Papillion-La Vista. Von Seggern quickly established himself as the Patriot's starting left tackle and has been key in keeping Thomalla's blind side safe and the run game surging. Carter returns for his second season as the Patriot's starting center, where he has been incredibly consistent since taking over. The Patriots offense averages over 350 passing yards and 115 rushing yards per game (three games), with Landen and Carter leading the charge in the trenches.     Notable Recruiting Notes:   Landen received a Big-10 offer on a visit to Illinois. He now holds offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa, Memphis, and Miami (OH).   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/landen_seggern/status/1832536826097365417 </div></figure>   Carter has taken a gameday visit to South Dakota State.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Cglab5/status/1835364315903479822 </div></figure>   9. [player_tooltip player_id='796582' first='Max' last='Clark'] (<a href="https://x.com/max_clark10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18180237/Max-Clark" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), LB - Omaha North - 6'2" 220 lbs   One of several great ‘26 Vikings that are catching attention. Linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='796582' first='Max' last='Clark'] is a vicious linebacker who plays with an intense motor. He has projectable size at 6'2” and 200 pounds and possesses a massive ceiling. I don't have season totals for Max, but he has stepped into a bigger role for the Vikings this season. Look forward to seeing some more film from Clark's junior season.   10. [player_tooltip player_id='357772' first='Eli' last='Johnson'] (<a href="https://x.com/elijohnson521" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16492823/Eli-Johnson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), TE/WR - Omaha Westside - 6'3" 200 lbs   Junior [player_tooltip player_id='357772' first='Eli' last='Johnson'] has been waiting his turn in a loaded receiving group the pst two seasons and is ready to break out. Johnson is a unique pass catcher can play a TE/WR role depending on what you need him to do. He's lethal as a pass catcher and can be moved across the formation to take advantage of mismatches. Eli also plays with a mean streak that shines through in his blocking. It seems as if Eli is on the verge of a breakout season with 15 receptions for 274 yards and for touchdowns. Definitely one to watch out for on the recruiting trail!    Making a push:   [player_tooltip player_id='488116' first='Jase' last='Reynolds'] (<a href="https://x.com/jasereynoldss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17789379/Jase-Reynolds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), LB/ATH - Elkhorn North - 6'3" 195 lbs   Elkhorn North's 2026 class is shaping up to be a great one with several elite prospects. One to keep a close eye on [player_tooltip player_id='488116' first='Jase' last='Reynolds'] who is already catching attention from P4 schools. Jase has tallied 19 tackles, a TFL, a sack, and a forced fumble. Reynolds is a well-rounded linebacker who can in coverage and can make stops against the run. Jase has also stepped into a bigger role on offense with seven receptions for 161 receiving yards and a touchdown. Reynolds holds an offer from Nebraska and has been on game-day visits to Minnesota and Nebraska, with scheduled visits to Kansas State and Iowa State.    [player_tooltip player_id='795731' first='Nate' last='Appleget'] (<a href="https://x.com/NateAppleget" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17787106/Nate-Appleget" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), LB/ATH - Lincoln Southeast - 6'2" 200 lbs   Junior [player_tooltip player_id='795731' first='Nate' last='Appleget'] returns as a starter on both sides of the ball for the Knights. He's caught six receptions for 66 yards and a receiving touchdown with 27 total tackles on defense. Appleget holds an FBS offer from Northern Illinois.    [player_tooltip player_id='1114606' first='Barry' last='Fries'] (<a href="https://x.com/barry_fries51" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15172815/Barry-Fries" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), LB - Elkhorn North - 6'3" 200 lbs   Linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1114606' first='Barry' last='Fries'] started the season with a BANG, tallying 18 tackles, 2 TFLs, a fumble recovery, and blocked a kick in the opening game. Barry showed off his intense motor and tireless pursuit of the ball, constantly ending up near the ball. Unfortunately, it seems an injury had shelved Barry for a few games but returned with 8 tackles against Gretna. I look forward to seeing Barry back on the field, flying around on defense. Fries has taken game-day visits to Nebraska and visited Mizzou.    [player_tooltip player_id='1105168' first='Alex' last='Uchtman'] (<a href="https://x.com/AlexUchtman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17809858/Alex-Uchtman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), ATH - Elkhorn North - 6'1" 185 lbs   Elkhorn North's [player_tooltip player_id='1105168' first='Alex' last='Uchtman'] is listed as a defensive back on our rankings but will likely be moved over to ATH with his emergence as a do-it-all offensive weapon. On defense, it has been business as usual for Alex, as he's posted seven tackles, a TFL, and an interception while locking things down on his side of the field. It seems teams have learned he's not one you want to test. Offensively, Uchtman has erupted for 506 receiving yards on 13 receptions and five touchdowns, averaging an insane 39 yards per reception. He also played some RB last season, so don't be surprised to see him running the ball at some point. Uchtman has been on game-day visits to Nebraska and South Dakota State, with a trip to North Dakota State also scheduled.    [player_tooltip player_id='402160' first='Nelsyn' last='Wheeler'] (<a href="https://x.com/Nelsyn026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17738571/Nelsyn-Wheeler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), RB - Grand Island - 5'9" 190 lbs   One of the speediest players in the state, Grand Island's [player_tooltip player_id='402160' first='Nelsyn' last='Wheeler'] continues to impress as he shoulders a bigger load for the Islander's offense this season. Wheeler is on pace to blow past his sophomore season totals with 375 rushing yards and two touchdowns through three games compared to 547 yards all of last season. Nelsyn is an interesting prospect because of his versatility as a receiving back and overall well-rounded game. Wheeler is just as much a threat as a receiving back out of the backfield as he is toting the rock. Lots of FBS/FCS attention being directed Nelsyn's way!    [player_tooltip player_id='487557' first='Will' last='Anderson'] (<a href="https://x.com/WillAnderson16_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19334123/Will-Anderson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a>), QB - Bellevue West - 6'1" 195 lbs   Junior [player_tooltip player_id='487557' first='Will' last='Anderson'] stepped into the full-time QB1 role for the Bellevue West Thunderbirds and has them off to a solid start thus far. Through three games, Will has completed 58% of his passes (44/75) for 467 yards and has a clean 5-0 TD to Int ratio. Anderson has also flashed what he can do with his legs and athleticism, adding 110 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Will is a player with a crazy high ceiling who will only continue looking sharper as he settles in the offense. Anderson should quickly rise on recruiting boards as the season progresses.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Make sure to follow @PRZ_OscarG for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.
