PrepRedzoneMN 2026 Rankings: Nate's Outstate Hog Mollies to Know

OUTSTATE MN-- With the release of our Prep Redzone Minnesota 2026 rankings last week, I took a crack at some of my favorite Outstate offensive linemen most of which are new tapes we have discovered from last update. This six-pack of hog mollies hail from all over the Outstate from the North Shore, SW Minnesota, and more.   [player_tooltip player_id='1602799' first='Joshua' last='Timm'], Wabasso <a href="https://x.com/joshua_timm5">Twitter</a>   If you want a 2026 center that wastes no time with being violent at the point of attack, meet [player_tooltip player_id='1602799' first='Joshua' last='Timm'] of Wabasso. The 6'4 265 pounder, makes it clear early on tape that he wins plenty of reps with his angle blocks and shows off the relentless finishing ability that intrigues me on tape. Joshua also shows off the finesse to multi-engage on tape which shows off the grit I would would as a college recruiter in my offensive trenches. Wabasso (pop. 738) has themselves a small town hidden gem that I would love to track on the camp trail this summer as surely a scholarship talent in my eyes. Only one NAIA school in NW Iowa that has Joshua on their radar right now via his Twitter.   [player_tooltip player_id='924238' first='Heath' last='Sunnarborg'], Esko <a href="https://x.com/sunnarborgheath?lang=en">Twitter</a>   Heath is an offensive linemen out of Esko, that I like the low pad-level he shows off from the first look of his junior tape. He has a tendency to consistently pin that low bend and buckle the defensive linemen into the grass/turf which intrigues me at 6'3 230 pounds. Heath consistently shows off a fluid punch and I like the upside he can develop this offseason with his footwork getting into the second level as his quick hands have some damage, but angling his feet to smoother pad-levels could give him even more leverage. That second level athleticism and quick penetration also catches my attention the deeper I get into Heath's tape. Another 2026 that intrigues me as one I like playing on Saturdays with great upside to grow.   [player_tooltip player_id='1256240' first='Mason' last='Church'], Bemidji <a href="https://x.com/MasonChurch18">Twitter</a>   Mason first caught my attention at the NDSU prospect camp this summer (with no tape yet) and now is a new addition to our 2026 rankings that I love seeing on our Minnesota board. He gave his defenders fits at NDSU with his long reach and has even gotten longer nowadays playing at 6'6 265 pounds. Mason shows off a great balance with his leverage and always physical punches, as he can make the agile punch early or drive the defensive linemen into the next area code, which are the first two looks you get on tape. Mason also shows off more fluidity as a pull-blocker at his size than you would expect and still models that great strength to pin open blocks on that second level. Mason is one that is way under the radar in the 2026 class and should be on those recruiting boards after National Signing Day wraps up on Wednesday.   [player_tooltip player_id='1533916' first='Tyler' last='Bicknase'], Fairmont <a href="https://x.com/BicknaseTyler">Twitter</a>   The 6'2 240 pounder from Fairmont, is just another Cardinals target that I will put a next-level grade on as one that checks off a couple boxes early when I did our tape eval on him. He shows off great foot-firing off the snap to get to in ideal position quickly. Not to mention that with that ideal position, it sets Tyler up for using his nasty punch and quick strength to show off persistently getting his defender on the turf. He is one of the most agile pull-blockers you will see on this list tonight out of this Minnesota 2026 group and if I am a college recruiter, I have to also love the frame I still can grow on this young man over the coming years which is another citterontribution to the upside Tyler has. Scholarship-grade in my eyes.   [player_tooltip player_id='1255905' first='Chris' last='Bridges'], Duluth Denfeld <a href="https://x.com/ChrisBridges64">Twitter</a>   Chris is a 2026 left tackle out of Duluth Denfeld that from the first look, showed off an athletically pleasing great bend for size. The 6'3 280 pounder also shows off vicious hands at the point of attack and shows off the upside to grow a more appealing finish with growing his pad-level during this upcoming off-season. Chris shows off position flexibility that colleges coaches will like and intrigues me as an offensive guard at the next-level based on the reps I got to watch due to his quick striking hands off the hand and increasing downhill leverage. He also impresses me with his fluidity as a pull-blocker at left guard who I surely like his chances of being a next-level prospect and already has some D2 and NAIA coming his way for the upcoming months.   [player_tooltip player_id='592130' first='Wyatt' last='Gibson'], Zimmerman <a href="https://x.com/wyatttgibson52">Twitter</a>   Wyatt's first look on tape shows off a smooth athletic bend for his 6'3 250 pound frame and wastes no time getting his hands presented with great pad-level as a run-blocker. He constantly shows off his drive blocking ability into the second level, and man the more I watch his pad-level the more I am intriguing this young man appears to be in my eyes with his his consistency. Wyatt logged over 30+ pancakes as a junior and it's easy to see why seeing the pure downhill dominace at the point of attack and shows off a left tackle that plays with a ton of finesse and a great football IQ you can tell. The Thunder's team captain, surely will have some suitors at the Division II level in my eyes in the NSIC.
