Next Man Up to Receive Their First Offer

JohnsonCombine2025 saves you $10 on registration for the PRZ WI Combine on May 18!   The offers beyond the FBS and FCS level have started being extended. The D2 programs making up the NSIC have been recruiting WI hard, Junior Day visits have been happening one after the other, and several kids are returning home with their first offer. The waves of offers are only becoming more consistent as time goes on this spring, so we are in position to see a lot of 2026s earn their first offer. Today we are going to predict who we think are the next guys up for their first offer of many offers. The Class of 2026 has so much depth when it comes to athletes with the talent to play D2. So there are a lot to choose from and talk about. Let's get right into it!    Todd is one of WI's best IOL recruits in the Class of 2026. He is an outstanding combination of power, athleticism, and mentality. The kid makes every move with power. Todd has the ability to pancake a defender at any point during a play. From his feet to his hands, everything is loaded up with power and shows the impact they can have when he makes contact. Todd is quick out of his stance and is able to turn that momentum into power to create a positive surge in the run game. He has range to get out in space or cut off an LB. I love how Todd seems to be looking to punish every opponent. The mindset is there to dominate, he has the physical tools to do so, and has the athleticism to be able to mirror defenders, pull, or reach/cut off DL/LBs. Marx has to be on the doorstep of his first offer.      Another intriguing OL is Muskego OT [player_tooltip player_id='1546521' first='Parker' last='Murawski']. Parker has a collegiate frame and is developing collegiate strength this offseason. That strength is highlighted by a 500 lb squat this offseason. Looking back on his junior tape there is plenty for a college OL coach to like. The big man is light on his feet and quick in short areas so that he can quickly position himself between the ball and defender in the run game. Parker is also able to quickly crash down on an IDL. You see the power right when he makes contact with his hands too. I believe Parker can get even more impactful in the trenches as he continues to develop his technique. Parker is just scratching the surface. Can't wait to see what he does this summer and then in his senior season.      One of my favorite athletes in the Class of 2026 is Brookfield Central's [player_tooltip player_id='700015' first='AJ' last='Seymour']. A big reason why is because of his outstanding versatility. AJ plays QB and S for BC and could play S, TE/H-Back, QB, or LB among other positions. He is a Swiss Army knife that can do so many different things at a high level. His combination of athleticism, size, and strength open so many doors for him. AJ has a big arm that can attack the entire field. He runs strong and with balance to gain yards after contact. The game speed is there to be able to fly around the field on the defensive side of the ball too. Plus his has the football IQ to give himself an extra half step thanks to his ability to quickly identify plays. You don't need a strong imagination to find a way for AJ to fit on your roster. Check him out.      Looks like we are going to see a change for Shaundel this fall as the X/Twitter bio says he now is at Oak Creek HS. I'm very excited to see him join that roster this fall and make his impact. Shaundel is the top WR looking for his first offer. There is so much to love about the 6'3" 170 lbs outside WR. He is a savvy route runner who is able to get DBs to put themselves out of position. Once they are a step out of position Shaundel has the speed to quickly stack the CB deep or break and accelerate out of the cut to open up separation. The junior WR is also outstanding after the catch. He is a slippery runner in tight spaces, sets things up, and quickly is able to create a plan to make space and defenders miss so he can maximize the yards he gains. Shaundel is an excellent playmaker and one of the best WRs coming out of WI. He is going to dominate at camps, but will we see an offer come in before then? I'm betting we do.      Hayden is one of the top talents at the TE position overall here in WI, and he is the top ranked uncommitted TE in the Class of 2026. Hayden isn't an elite athlete at TE, but has the long strides to eat up yards after the catch. The '26 TE thrives on the short-intermediate receptions where he can turn up field, beat LBs to the edge, or lower the shoulder on DBs. Hayden is an excellent redzone threat where he can use that size and massive catch radius to high point the ball at points where the DB can't get to. Hayden also fits the traditional TE role with his impact as a run blocker. Anderson is able to kick out DL after pulling across the formation or attack out of his stance and drive edge defenders off the line of scrimmage. This is the first place to go for teams looking for a big, strong, mismatch at TE.      Christian is built very similarly to a lot of WRs that we have seen the D2 level and higher pursue here in WI. He is a strong 6'2" 190 lbs and athleticism paired with that size is the difference maker that is going to grab the attention of the collegiate level. Christian is a smooth athlete, especially at his size. The junior is able to run a well rounded route tree, from simple go routes to double moves, to attacking over the middle on a variety of routes. The standout junior also displays an effective release package at the snap of the ball. Most importantly, Christian has hands his QB can trust and he is a playmaker who finds ways to create fireworks with his touches.      We love the way Jake plays on Friday nights. His film is so fun to watch as he flies around the field between the OLB and S positions. The '26 looks like he fits best on the back end as a safety at the next level, and his tape suggests he has the three down ability needed at the position. Jake checks the run support box very early in his tape. He is aggressive, closes quickly, and flies through traffic unblocked consistently. This is the type of DB you can trust to be a positive against the run game. Snyder is also a fantastic tackler who delivers powerful hits that completely take ball carriers off their feet. Then you watch him in coverage and you see that same aggressive, downhill attacking vs passes caught anywhere in front of him. The junior has the top end speed to be able to roam a deep half of the field and make plays on the ball. Dive into this kid's tape.
