With the last update coming before the season, the Class of 2026 rankings received a highly deserved overhaul, which saw our list grow to over 500 ranked+watchlist prospects. One of the best parts of doubling our prospect pool is seeing all the new names that emerged on our radar throughout the 2024 season.   Below are five offensive playmakers who could make waves on the recruiting trail this spring.   Check out the updated Class of 2026 rankings <a href="https://prepredzone.com/nebraska/rankings/2026-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   [player_tooltip player_id='1113952' first='Jase' last='Kaminski'] <a href="https://x.com/JaseKaminski">(@JaseKaminski)</a>, QB - Wahoo - 5'10" 175 lbs   It was a banner year for Jase and the Wahoo Warriors as they dominated their way to one of the most impressive undefeated seasons I've seen in a long time. Jase led an offense that could take the wind out of any defense behind an efficient passing attack and bruising running game. Kaminski completed 65% of his passes for 1,602 yards and 14 touchdowns with a QBR of 134.2. After watching Jase and the Warriors in person, I picked up on how level-headed he stays throughout the game, showing a calm, cool presence even when facing pressure from defenders. He looks very comfortable in the pocket, showing the footwork and mobility to evade the defensive pressure. Kaminski has solid arm talent with good strength to push the ball downfield or zip it into tight windows and will use different arm angles to throw around defenders. Stays accurate even when throwing on the move. Under the radar prospect with a chance at capping off his prep career with another run at the championship.    [player_tooltip player_id='1114998' first='Gavin' last='Baker'] <a href="https://x.com/gavinbaker52" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@gavinbaker52)</a>, TE - Archbishop-Bergan - 6'6" 195 lbs   Archbishop-Bergan's [player_tooltip player_id='1114998' first='Gavin' last='Baker'] debuted as one of the highest ranked newcomers, entering at #64 overall and the #7 TE. Even though Gavin is listed as a TE, I could see him playing more of a flex TE/WR role, depending on how he continues filling into his frame. Baker is pretty versatile with where he can line up, showing that he can play as an in-line TE, in the slot, or out wide; taking advantage of mismatches with his size. Gavin is a towering receiver at 6'6" with solid size, allowing him to be physical against pressing defenders and at the catch point. Baker's massive catch radius makes him a QB friendly target that you can lob it up to and expect him to come down with the 50/50 ball or make an outstanding catch outside his frame. Gavin also runs like a gazelle, with a long stride that sees him gain ground quickly, showing how he can eat up the cushion given by defenders and attack their leverage. Good burst after the catch with the acceleration to break away from defenses. Gavin ended his junior season with 27 receptions, 528 yards, six touchdowns, 40 tackles, 8 TFLs, and 2.5 sacks. Good shot we could see him on the hardwood in college, but wouldn't be surprised to see coaches start throwing offers his way once more schools take notice.    [player_tooltip player_id='1617415' first='Cooper' last='Grosserode'] <a href="https://x.com/coop_grosserode" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@coop_grosserode)</a>, TE/ATH - Lincoln Standing Bear - 6'2" 220 lbs   Here's another versatile tight end prospect flashing a high ceiling. Lincoln Standing Bear's [player_tooltip player_id='1617415' first='Cooper' last='Grosserode'] is a strong, athletic prospect who could play tight end or linebacker at the next level, but might have high upside on offense. Offensively, Cooper fills more of an H-back role where he can line up in the backfield getting ready to block, line up to block off-tackle, and is a receiving threat. Cooper does a great job getting open and finding open spots in the defense to attack. He's strong at the catch point with big mitts that pluck the ball out of the air with ease. I hope you don't expect Cooper to go down easily, as he's shown the toughness to fight through contact and will even drop the pads to run right through a defender's chest. Solid testing numbers of 4.65 40-yard dash and a 33" vertical jump.    [player_tooltip player_id='1343410' first='Tyrese' last='Webster'] <a href="https://x.com/TyreseWebster55">(@TyreseWebster55)</a>, OL/DL - Omaha North - 6'4" 285 lbs   The Vikings have done an excellent job producing college-level offensive linemen (and other positions, of course) in recent seasons and will now get a new moldable piece to add to their line in 2025. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1343410' first='Tyrese' last='Webster'] comes over to North from the Northwest Wolves, where he should continue to develop into a prospect who will draw a lot of attention. From his sophomore to junior season, Tyrese took several steps forward in his development with improved technique, quickness, and a meaner attitude. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was that Tyrese seemed more physical and aggressive at the point of attack. Webster's hand placement also improved, showing that he can aim and shoot for his opponent's chest accurately and can maintain the inside leverage throughout the rep. He has a strong lower and upper body to match up against power rushers. He's also showing improved mobility and footwork to keep him engaged with speed/edge rushers. I'm looking forward to seeing how the North staff will help unlock Tyrese's next level.    [player_tooltip player_id='487572' first='Michael' last='Hunter Jr'] <a href="https://x.com/Mikeythefuture6">(@Mikeythefuture6)</a>, WR - Lincoln North Star - 5'9" 150 lbs   Lincoln North Star's [player_tooltip player_id='487572' first='Michael' last='Hunter Jr']. has been a player on my radar since entering the high school ranks his freshman season. Michael has long been considered one of the top route runners in his class and continues to show that with each season. Hunter is extremely shifty with his route running and after the catch, showing that he can shake defenders either during the route or when trying to add extra yards after the catch. One thing that's always stood out about Michael's game is his explosiveness when changing direction, especially at the top of his route where he is very sharp at the route's break off point. As I watched Hunter's tape, I was also impressed with his willingness to block out on the perimeter during running plays. Under the radar prospect who could shine at camps this summer!    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Make sure to follow @PRZ_OscarG for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.
