With the 2025 class all but wrapped up, it's time to fully turn our attention to the junior class (incoming seniors), who will now be planning their spring/summer visits and deciding which schools they want to camp with. To kick start this changing of the tide, we rolled out our updated Class of 2026 rankings, with over 400 ranked players and 100+ players listed on our watchlist.     You can find the full rankings update <a href="https://prepredzone.com/iowa/rankings/2026-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='1632044' first='Casey' last='Wilhite'] <a href="https://x.com/casey_wil74" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@casey_wil74)</a>, Ames - 6'3" 240 lbs   Ames' [player_tooltip player_id='1632044' first='Casey' last='Wilhite'] debuted as one of this update's highest rising OL prospects. Casey had a tremendous junior season, starting at right tackle and becoming a key blocker on a high-powered offense. Casey is a mauler in the trenches, flashing a mean streak when engaging at the point of attack. I was very impressed with Casey's pass protection, where he moved extremely well with nice lateral quickness that helped him mirror pass rushers along the line of scrimmage. He is smooth in his dropsets with quick, light feet and nice bend throughout his rep. Wilhite's powerful base allows him to anchor down and not give up ground against power rushers. Great explosiveness and strength from his hips help him overpower his opponent when dropping them in the dirt. A top 50 debut is only the start for Ames' [player_tooltip player_id='1632044' first='Casey' last='Wilhite']!    [player_tooltip player_id='1619672' first='Andre' last='Rogers'], RB - Council Bluffs Lincoln - 5'10" 215 lbs   Talk about a bruiser at RB! Council Bluffs Lincoln's [player_tooltip player_id='1619672' first='Andre' last='Rogers'] is an up-and-coming RB who set himself up to have a big year in 2025. He finished his junior campaign with 569 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. Rogers is a physical runner with a strong, compact frame at 5'10" and 215 pounds. He excels when he can run north-south, chipping away at the defense with every punishing run. His powerful base allows him to truck through defenders while doing an excellent job keeping his balance while absorbing contact. Andre possesses great vision and patience as a runner, allowing him to examine the field and anticipate open running lanes. Excellent burst when he hits his gap. Even as a physical downhill runner, Andre still showed enough wiggle and shiftiness to shake defenders in the open field. Definitely not someone you want to meet 1v1 when he's built a head of steam!    [player_tooltip player_id='1615327' first='Korben' last='Michels'], RB/ATH - Saint Ansgar   Let's change the pace for our RBs, with the speedy and twitchy [player_tooltip player_id='1615327' first='Korben' last='Michels']. Korben is coming off an extremely productive junior season in which he rushed for 1,295 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns. Part of what stands out about Korben is how versatile and well-rounded he is as a runner. Although Korben may not be the biggest RB, he is one of the toughest with his willingness to take the fight to the defense between the tackles. His strength and balance is very underrated as he consistently powered through tackle attempts and rarely went down on initial contact. Michels also has the speed to hit the home run ball if he can beat the defense to the edge. He hits his gaps with excellent burst and has the acceleration to break away from defenses when he hits the second level. Solid bag of moves that he can dip into to when eluding defenders. Korben was also highly effective on defense and special teams, recording a team high 76 tackles, 14 TFLs, two fumble recoveries, 279 return yards, and two punt returns for a touchdown.    [player_tooltip player_id='1370574' first='Zach' last='Drenth'] <a href="https://x.com/DrenthZach" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@DrenthZach)</a>, OL/DL - Central Lyon/George-Little Rock - 6'3" 240 lbs   CL/GLR's [player_tooltip player_id='1370574' first='Zach' last='Drenth'] is an interesting prospect who will likely draw attention to play on either side of the ball. I gave his upside on offense the slight nod here as my projection for where I can see him playing at the collegiate level. Defensively, Zach brings that mean streak to the field that you love to see from your big guys up front. He plays fast and physical with a tireless pursuit. Drenth brings these same traits over to the offensive side of the ball where he now has a reason to drive his opponent into the ground with multiple pancake blocks. He is an aggressive blocker who will fire out of his stance, deliver a great initial punch, and plays all the way through the whistle. Great positioning on his blocks with the footwork and leg drive to turn defenders out of lanes. Another thing that stood out is Zach's ability to keep his pads low and hip bend during his reps.    [player_tooltip player_id='1631385' first='Broc' last='Stream'] <a href="https://x.com/BrocStream">(@BrocStream)</a>, WR - Greene County - 6'2" 160 lbs   Here's a receiver who is starting to make some rounds on the recruiting circuit. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1631385' first='Broc' last='Stream'] ended his junior campaign second on the team in receiving with 17 receptions for 278 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Stream is a taller wideout who flashes the smoothness in his route running that you see from smaller slot receivers. His long stride helps him glide through defenses as he finds open passing windows for his QB to hit him in. Great job using his height and leaping ability to high point the ball. Stream also had a solid showing on defense with 22.5 tackles and two interceptions. Lots of upside here especially as Broc continues to fill his frame.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Make sure to follow @PRZ_OscarG for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.
