The talented roster reached the gold bracket with the Prairie sophomore slinging it around. Kongshaug has a line on the starting job for the Prairie Hawks in 2025 with last year's starter graduating. He's physically gifted with a strong frame and arm. He moves well for a bigger body and utilizes his smooth feet. While he can make all of the throws, Kongshaug's fundamentals break down occasionally and his operation becomes too long. If he can improve his consistency, the ceiling his high here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1656865"],"_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-68190ce7bb797"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fuller impressed me on both sides of the ball when watching him perform at the 2025 Back 2 Ballin 7-on-7 tournament this spring. He's a long-limbed athlete with good speed and feel for the game. You can check out the potential for yourself by viewing his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19863044/67784281757ff217e4953c45">sophomore highlight video</a>. Fuller operates effectively out of the slot as a precise route runner with a burst. He ranked second among Panthers with 31 receptions, which resulted in 414 yards and five touchdowns as a sophomore last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1360027"],"_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-68190ce7bb81c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hogan split quarterback reps with a senior last season when he was a 10th-grader. He led the Warriors in touchdown passes. Hogan also contributed on defense and special teams. When we pop on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17337150/67395a250579e2eac670da39">sophomore highlight video</a>, there are clips of him operating on the varsity and also footage of him developing on the junior varsity. Hogan gets the ball out of his hand quickly and puts it accurately on the receiver. He looks comfortable taking snaps under center or from the shotgun. A good number of Hogan's completions are him picking apart the defense on shorter routes, but he also shows an ability to chuck it deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617688"],"_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-68190ce7bb889"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holloway lists quarterback as his position on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19439945/67134328ab6580af593f992b">sophomore highlight video</a> but it would be a mistake to limit him to one position. He reveals excellent athleticism during his clips, where he especially stands out as a versatile defender. Holloway ranked among his team leaders in tackles (39.5) as a sophomore last season. He had 30 solo stops, 7.0 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Holloway caught three passes as a receiver and recorded an interception on defense. With speed and physicality, safety looks like a natural position for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1105155"],"_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-68190ce7bb8f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hopkins contributed on both sides of the ball as a sophomore in 2024. On defense, he registered 26.0 tackles (20 solo,2.0 TFL), a fumble recovery and a sack. He returned 10 kicks for 140 yards and a touchdown, and caught five passes for 28 yards. Expect those numbers and his role to increase this season. We see the potential for more when watching his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18386565/67a116966f1fbeeb288415a9">sophomore highlight video</a>. Hopkins is a well-rounded player willing to do whatever it takes to help his team. He's an aggressive defender. On offense, Hopkins can make plays with the ball in his hands or by throwing an important block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224000"],"_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-68190ce7bb95f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hupfer flashed his potential with 10 tackles (7 solo) in a varsity game against Cedar Falls as a sophomore in 2024. You can watch him perform in that game on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18262422/66de4e3c6c13ae72e6101292">Hudl page</a>. Hupfer is an active outside linebacker that diagnoses plays well and operates within the defense. When the ball carrier come his way, he's a technically sound tackler able to separate from blocks. There's an impressive clip of him lining up on the edge and beating the O-Lineman for a tackle. Unfortunately, those are the only available highlights from last season. Hopefully we get more in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
