He produced when healthy, throwing for six touchdowns and running for three scores as a junior. He also registered five solo tackles, a 38-yard kick return and a 35-yard punt return. Quarterback could be his position on the next level, but his overall athleticism would work at other spots. You can see it when watching his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14936844/6706b0ac726fa1a326659086">11th-grade highlight video</a>. The first clip shows him scrambling for a score when his receivers are covered. He's fast and elusive. Wiggins is comfortable throwing while rolling out and does so with accuracy. He can chuck it deep, too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1242944"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6824826c593b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Golden Hawks won two playoff games last season with Ehrenfelt playing a key role in that success. The junior rushed for 1,365 yards and 26 touchdowns, and added 26 catches for 289 yards and a pair of scores. Ehrenfelt contributed 31.0 tackles (15 solo, 1.0 TFL) and intercepted two passes on defense. He averaged 20.4 points on eight kick returns. His <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17948725/673656c58d38eae5be0bbe68">11th-grade highlight video</a> reveals a versatile playmaker thanks to his speed and athleticism. Ehrenfelt is a decisive runner that gets downhill quickly but also shows elusiveness and acceleration. Some colleges might like him at running back but Ehrenfelt's skill set creates positional flexibility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620031"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6824826c593fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I watched Rhamy and the Dutch compete in the state semifinals at the UNI-Dome last November. He stood out as an active defender with position flexibility. Rhamy's 44 solo tackles ranked second on the team last season as did his three interceptions. His <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14919370/6770e0ef6d1af18b537a015a">11th-grade highlight video</a> shows off how he operates at safety. Rhamy changes directions well in coverage and diagnoses plays quickly. He breaks fast on the ball and has good hands. Rhamy supports the run and is a technically sound tackler. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619942"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6824826c59439"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shanno makes plays all around the field. As a junior in 2024, he delivered 343 yards and two touchdowns rushing, and caught 26 balls for 213 yards and two more scores. Nineteen of his 21.5 tackles were of the solo variety. Shanno looks the part on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18166092/672e51d6e344a875a15ab339">11th-grade highlight video</a>. He's electric with the ball in his hands, shifting around and sidestepping defenders regularly. Whether taking a handoff or catching a throw, Shanno proves dangerous. He doesn't include defensive clips on his tape, but you can see how this skills would play on that side of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619867"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6824826c59478"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly paced the Saints in receptions (51) and receiving yards (606) as a junior last season. He caught three touchdown passes and rushed for another one. Kelly took a kick return 82 yards to the house and averaged 19.4 yards on five punt returns. He illustrates how he gets the job done during his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19893069/6772efc5f32ccbf8bcd34301">11th-grade highlight video</a>. Kelly's speed pops off of the tape right away. He gets to top speed quickly and keeps it up even when cutting. It makes him a challenge to tackle. Kelly looks smooth getting into and out of his breaks, and delivers precise routes. Those traits help on returns, too, and he's fearless when doing that. Kelly looks most comfortable operating out of the slot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619934"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6824826c594b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heidgerken ranked second among Mustangs last season in receptions (29) and receiving yards (336), catching one touchdown pass as an 11th-grader in 2024. He also averaged 20.0 yards on 26 kick returns. Heidgerken's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17948145/67256e26ba2a5336bd388647">junior highlight video</a> gives us a glimpse into his exploits. The first clip shows his scoring grab, an acrobatic catch along the sideline. There were more of those elsewhere on the field. Heidgerken is a versatile slot receiver adept at make plays across the middle or outrunning defenders deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
