New Scouting Reports for Top Talent in 2027

The Class of 2027 is poised to deliver breakout performances all around the state this coming season. The juniors-to-be form a deep and talented group.   In keeping with our offseason mission to evaluate as much video as possible, here's a look at '27s on which to keep an eye this fall:    Infanger shows during his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19072521/6769dcaff9455fe0e0e8dda7">sophomore highlight video</a> that he loves the game's physicality. He displays impressive strength for a 10th-grader, making it difficult for defenders to disengage from his block. Infanger is quick off of his snap, which helps him reach his assignments. He has a knack for sealing the opposition away from the ball and taking it out of the play. Infanger needs a bit more bend at times, becoming susceptible to being knocked off balance and losing the leverage battle by being straight up. His power would play up even more if he moves up under the defenders pads regularly.     Bennis just dropped his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19731160/680ab5692b345a37ffc7f650">sophomore highlight video</a> last week. It's an impressive collection of clips. An underclassman on a Prairie Hawk offense with a lot of weapons, Bennis caught 23 passes for 387 yards and three touchdowns in 2024. He's a very well-rounded receiver, especially for his experience level. Bennis is effective lining up on the outside or in the slot. He runs clean routes and appears to have reliable hands. Bennis has a chance to take a big step forward this fall with more opportunities opening up following graduation losses at Prairie.     A multi-sport athlete, the leaping ability and agility that aid Woods in basketball are apparent when watching him play receiver. He can beat defenders by running past them or rising up and snatching the ball out of the air. You can see Woods getting the job done in hoops and football on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22672683/owen-woods/highlights">Hudl page</a>. We witness him take shorter passes and turn them into big gains. Woods looks like a natural at the position, playing with confidence and precision.     I'm intrigued watching clips on <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17313330/Colton-Wolcott/highlights">Wolcott's Hudl page</a> and look forward to seeing what he can do as a junior in 2025. An interesting mix of size, athleticism and attitude, Wolcott proves he's a disruptive edge rusher that plays fast but under control. He should take a step forward with added maturity and increased strength this offseason. Wolcott might also develop at offensive tackle, having the right disposition for that position.     Urbanek should continue developing himself behind center with the potential he shows as a dual-threat signal caller at the eight-player level. That said, his speed and elusiveness would work at other spots if he ended up moving off the position. Urbanek commands the offense and makes quick decisions. He can get the ball down the field and is accurate on throws on different levels. Urbanek keeps defenses honest by threatening to tuck the ball and run. He's not easy to catch or corral as he shows on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20012143/6720fce60813f84ee6bccfe4">sophomore highlight video</a>.     Turner posted football highlights on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18987600/Hud-Turner/highlights">Hudl page</a> recently. They reveal a prospect with promise and definitely with keeping on eye on this coming season. Linn-Mar loves to run the football, and Turner looks like a weapon rushing it. A shorter back, he's effective between the tackles because of sharp cuts and quick decisions. Turner is dangerous as a receiver out of the backfield. He's tough to corral in the open field with impressive acceleration.
