2026 Outstate Maulers to Know

We will taking a deep dive around the Outstate for the next several weeks, showing off all the talent that the Outstate offers with several different positions and classes we will cover. With our first list, we look at the 2026 Outstate maulers that plenty of college coaches out on the road now need to know.    The 6'8 285 pounder from Parker's Prairie is an offensive tackle that intrigues with his upside. There is no doubt in the trenches when Zakary lands a punch he is knocking his opponent on the turf. For his frame, I was intrigued by the lateral movement he shows off with his first step and that long striding ability and good athleticism shows off when he pull blocks into the second level. His upside comes in with his bend, as although the dominance is seen Zakary can develop by getting more depth in his bend. Regardless, I like this 2026 as a hidden gem that can raise his stock at camps this summer. <a href="https://x.com/zakarykoep68">Twitter</a>     Noah is a 2026 prospect that dominates on both ends of the trenches. This young man intrigues me right away with his agile footwork as a pull-blocker and utlizes that downhill blocking ability quickly at the point of attack and it shows off consistently going to both sides of the ball carrier, but shows the most finesse pulling to the left. The 6'1 250 pounder from BBE, also shows off in the defensive trenches his motor that has some longevity to get to the outside with sound athletic mobility on all fronts. Another hidden gem to know out of the Outstate. <a href="https://x.com/noahkampsen">Twitter</a>     If you want an offensive linemen that will drive-block his defender into the next county, you might want to take a look at Plainview-Elgin-Millville's [player_tooltip player_id='1256232' first='Carson' last='Hynes']. The 6'7 300 pounder, is a defined finisher that even shows off impressive angle blocking from what I could gauge on tape. At that sizze, Carson shows off more balanced footwork than you would expected with all that size at the center position as surely still there is plenty of upside to improve his stock even further. I surely believe Division I schools will be intrigued by this young man at prospect camps this summer for sure. <a href="https://x.com/carsonhynes79">Twitter</a>     Earl is yet another 2026 sleeper out of Pillager that surely needs more attention. This young man intrigues me mightly with his great pad-level and is a drive-blocker that shows off well versed balance any time he finishes his blocks, which amounts to a ton on tape. The 6'4 270 pounder, shows it off in the defensive trenches too and shows off the similar pressing hands with great pad-level and commonly finishes thru double teams and when he makes contact with the ball carrier, man does he bring heat from a physicality perspective. Yet another 2026 Outstater that could do some damage on the camp trail this summer.     Sam was surely one of the more intriguing 2026 offensive linemen I got a live eval on during the 2024 regular season out of Paynesville. He showed off intriguing footwork in every rep I watched with his 6'4 265 pound frame and you could gauge the balance Sam has with the versatile pad-levels I saw against Eden Valley-Watkins. He shows off great fluidity as a pull-blocker and gives off a mentality "that the train in coming" with his presence. There hasn't been a ton of recruiting presence from the Bulldogs in my time with PRZ Minnesota, but I surely believe Sam is th one that could change that trend. <a href="https://x.com/SamBrick552235">Twitter</a>
