Happy Near Years: Minnesota Recruiting News in 2025

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're now more than halfway through January, and with the new year fully underway, I'm excited to see that recruiting news in Minnesota is really starting to pick up. With the accelerated recruiting timeline of today's day and age, D1 schools are nearly fully onto the next cycle, meaning the 2026 class is fully in the spotlight. However, DIIs, DIIIs, NAIAs, and occasionally some FCS programs are still invested in the 2025s, and with only four months left in the school year, recruiting is back into full swing. Before the <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>Official 2026 Rankings Update goes live on Monday morning, <em>PRzMN</em> wanted to give our readers a quick roundup of the biggest Minnesota-related recruiting news, narratives, transfers, visits, in-school check-ins, offers, and commitments since we counted down to the new year a couple of weeks ago. No one is more comprehensive than <em>PrepRedzoneMN</em>! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>South Dakota State commits flip to Wazzu </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The biggest recruiting narrative regarding Minnesota prospects coming out of the holiday season was based in Brookings, South Dakota. Right before the New Year kicked off, Washington State announced that former SDSU Head Coach Jimmy Rogers, who guided the Jacks to their second consecutive FCS national title in his first season at the helm of the Missouri Valley powerhouse. The move has sent ripples through the Jacks' 2025 signing class, which included eight Minnesota seniors, and a few of those signings took the chance to play in the newly formed PAC12 with the HC they committed to this month. The status for the remaining MN SDSU commits isn't 100% certain, most notably <em>Chaska </em>DL [player_tooltip player_id='362299' first='Josh' last='Wedel'], who deleted his commitment tweet to SDSU from back in June, so we'll see who ends up where when all the dust settles. For now, it looks like the MN DB commits of the 2025 class will be heading to Pullman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='641132' first='Damarius' last='Russell'] (<em>Waseca</em>) 2025.

The <em>Chanhassen</em> product totaled 29 carries for 176 yards and a TD in his freshman season, exciting Jacks fans and really shining a spotlight on the young buck's potential and upside as a collegiate running back. There was a brief period of time where I thought Woods might be testing the open market, but he'll be taking his talents to Pullman with some fellow Minnesota products. Keep your eyes out for this kid in the coming years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maxwell Woods</strong> (<em>Chanhassen</em>) RB. 5'10, 185 lbs. - Flipped from SDSU to WSU </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Bryce Hawthorne to Iowa </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is big news, people. With the upheaval of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits program this offseason, we saw a plethora of former Jackrabbit standouts hit the portal since their 2024 season ended. Some followed Jimmy Rogers to Washington State, but others took to the open market, with a few FCS standouts winning big in the portal. Of the Minnesotans who looked for greener pastures, no one won bigger than <em>Osseo's </em><strong>Bryce Hawthorne</strong>. A 6'3, 285 lb. DT who was named to the Missouri Valley All-Newcomer Team after totaling 22 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, and 4.5 sacks in his redshirt freshman season, Hawthorne announced he was heading to the B1G in early January, committing to the Iowa Hawkeyes on the 4th. Minnesota has seen a significant amount of transfers bump down a level or two in the past few cycles, so this is a much-needed win for Minnesotans looking to find success at the next level. Can't wait to see this kid with the Hawkeyes, and it'd be fun to have some more DL success in Iowa City. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/hawthorne_bryce/status/1875642118531903938">https://twitter.com/hawthorne_bryce/status/1875642118531903938</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Offers</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='945329' first='Afy' last='Ibekwe'] (<em>Anoka</em>) 2025.

Iowa is in desperate need of playmakers on the perimeter, so Moore could potentially earn a ton of snaps in Iowa City. As one of the best multi-sporters in the nation, this is a recruitment you are going to want to stay on top of. Whether he wants to play basketball, football, or potentially both sports in college, <em>PrepRedzoneMN</em> is excited to see what happens. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JJudah02/status/1877429585840668771","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JJudah02/status/1877429585840668771 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='490046' first='Owen' last='Linder'] (<em>Chanhassen</em>) 2026.

With a D1-worthy arm and plenty of college availability left, <strong>Feeney </strong>is a huge addition to both the MIAC and the Johnnies QB room, but he'll have some stiff competition off the jump, as South Dakota 6'3, 210 lb. transfer Beau Bush, a Pella (IA) Dutch grad.
