Class 6A WR/TE Watchlist

We finish our search of the top pass-catching prospects in Minnesota, rounding out with the top prospects in the top conference in Minnesota, Class 6A. These receivers have already made a significant impact on and off the field with their performances and growth, where many of these names are ranked among the top players in their respective classes. We finish off with 7 WR/TE names from Class 6A MN to watch out for in 2025!    Hopkins holds a pair of talented siblings on their roster, with [player_tooltip player_id='1522278' first='Jayden' last='Moore'] as the #1 ranked receiver in Minnesota for this upcoming class, and his younger brother Tre ranked as the #1 overall player in Minnesota for the class of 2028. Jayden caught 44 passes for 924 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, averaging 21 yards per catch. Moore is easily the most well-rounded receiver in Minnesota, with an impressive combination of speed, agility, and physical play that's allowed him to thrive as a route-runner and as a run-blocker. Moore puts relentless, yet seeming effortless work into each play, doing a great job at adjusting on the fly to get open, and he's shifty after the run, with the ability to circle around defenders to reach the open field. A 3-star recruit, Moore already holds 6 major D1 offers, including from Minnesota, Baylor, and Kansas State, and his presence should continue to aid toward Hopkins' growing edge in the conference heading into 2025.     A prominent two-way starter who shows plenty of upside as both DB and WR, [player_tooltip player_id='924341' first='Sam' last='Booh'] has plenty of explosive potential as an offensive weapon that could translate well at the next level. Booh caught 18 passes for 453 yards and 4 touchdowns last season, averaging 25.2 yards per reception. With a 4.58 40 yard time, Booh has blistering speed, making him pretty dangerous in the open field, racking up plenty of yards after the catch with that quickness. Booh's showcases great reach from his lengthy frame, with a wide catch radius, and despite his size, Booh showed quite a bit of physicality, being able to knock defenders over and catch through tight coverage. Doing just as well in covering receivers as he is in winning against coverage, Booh could very well make it in the collegiate level starting either position.     A big-bodied receiver who could very well land at either WR or TE, [player_tooltip player_id='1633442' first='Carter' last='Zollar'] is a towering athlete who opposing defense's are already struggling to contain because of his frame. Last season, Zollar caught 30 passes for 383 yards and 2 touchdowns. Zollar proved to be able to beat the secondary at all three levels, and beyond his physicality and length, Zollar proved to be a solid route-running, utilizing nice cuts and fluid hip movement to break on curls and hitch routes, while also showing to have great hands, catching through tough coverage and reeling in some one-handers as well. Zollar plays like a true receiver, and he's lined up in multiple roles for Stillwater's passing game. It will be interesting to see how Zollar's involvement with the offense will continue going forward.     [player_tooltip player_id='343080' first='Owen' last='Egge'] moved from Stillwater to Edina to play out his senior season, and Edina will be quite excited to work with him. Last season, Egge caught 28 passes for 382 yards and 2 touchdowns. Egge is gleaming with athletic potential, including a 4.62 40 yard time, a 35" vertical, a 235 lb max bench, and a 355 lb max squat. His numbers from last year looked respectable, but his performance hit beyond what his stats show. Egge is elusive and has very sharp footwork, whether on his route breakdowns, or with his quick cuts and jukes to get around defenders, and Egge is easily able to burn defenders after the catch, and as a return specialist. Egge is slated to immediately have a major role on Edina's offense next season, and Egge could be a big factor in boosting Edina's team back to the state championship game in 2025.     Speaking of Edina, one receiver that is expected to see plenty of more targets in the passing game next season is [player_tooltip player_id='212361' first='Jabari' last='Strader']. Strader had a great junior season, with 31 receptions for 338 yards and 7 touchdowns along with a rushing touchdown. Strader has the speed, length, and route-running chops to win 1-on-1 outside, and the biggest thing I noticed from Strader's film was how fluid his movements was, turning his body in different directions to adjust to the ball in the air and make some really impressive catches. Strader also holds plenty of strength to impose his defenders, using his hands well to keep defenders off of him, and assisting well as a run-blocker. Showing value as a pass-catcher, run-blocker, ball-carrier on jet plays, and as a returner, Strader is the ultimate package who should take a huge step forward in 2025 as one of Edina's primary weapons.     [player_tooltip player_id='1392997' first='Noah' last='Tieden'] is a premium TE who's presence helped contribute Blaine to post their first winning record since 2020. Tieden led the team last season with 28 receptions for 342 yards and 4 touchdowns. Tieden was seen lined up in a variety of positions last season, whether in a natural TE position on the line, as a wing-TE, in the slot, and on the outside, Tieden has plenty of versatility on the offense, and he proved to be a reliable option in the passing-game, utilizing his size, length, and great hands well to catch nearly everything that went his way, including some difficult sideline throws and catches through traffic. Tieden shows great route-running and footwork and has an impressive amount of burst on his breaks given his size. Tieden is just as reliable as a blocker, gaining leverage on defenders fairly easily thanks to his length, which helped guide Blaine to over 2400 yards on the ground last season. Tieden has D1 offers from Montana, Northern Iowa, and Western Illinois, and he could be due for a lot more by the end of his senior campaign.     One of the biggest WR/TE names in Minnesota right now, [player_tooltip player_id='1522534' first='Colten' last='Gunderson'] is a player who's caught the attention of all of the scouts at Prep Redzone MN. Gunderson emerged as a reliable threat last year, catching 20 passes for 293 yards and a team-high 7 touchdowns last season. Gunderson is an undeniable mismatch on the outside lined up against CBs, which made him the perfect redzone threat for their passing game. Gunderson had a knack for making some spectacular catches last season, and for his size, Gunderson has plenty of agility with the way he turns his body to adjust for the catch. Gunderson has impressive eye tracking and precision and a wide catch radius, catching through press coverage numerous times last season, including a notable bobbled touchdown grab against Woodbury. A talented three-sport athlete, Gunderson's frame and athleticism has generated quite a lot of attention, and he holds D1 offers from St. Thomas and Northern Iowa for football. It's evident that Gunderson's athletic future is very bright.
