<p>We have a good thing going at <em>PrepRedzone</em>, and we've been lucky to have been at a number of inaugural college football program camps around the Upper Midwest, the latest of which came out of the beautiful Fox Cities region of Wisconsin at the first-ever UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp. For a first time college camp, the UWO Mega Camp was easily one of the most popular and well-attended camps of the Midwest's Summer Camp SZN, with over 550 athletes descending on DIII powerhouse UW-Oshkosh from all around the United States and FBS, FCS, DII, DIII, and NAIA programs all in attendance to scout some 2026, 2027, and 2028 athletes all around the gridiron. With plenty of Upper Midwest beef in the trenches, the Lake Show Mega Camp was also represented with a pleasantly surprising amount of speed, big-bodied skills, and explosiveness, and <em>PrepRedzone</em> is excited to bring you the exclusive coverage from the event. Anyone else who says they were there is lying! With this many prospects in one place, the three <em>PRZ</em> scouts were divided in who and where he were scouting, and I was fortunate enough to spend 90% of my time watching the OL and DL go at it, padded up, in 1v1 board drill and pass pro reps. Find out who the Top Performers were below! </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1361650' first='Aiden' last='Dirksen'] </strong>(<em>Bay Port</em>, WI) 2026. 6'5, 290 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the biggest winners from what was an intriguing offensive line group at the inaugural UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, <strong>Aiden</strong> <strong>Dirksen</strong> continues a vaunted tradition of physically eye-catching <em>Bay Port</em> prospects from the past half decade to perform in front of <em>PrepRedzone</em>, and the massive and verified 6'5, 290 lb. OT had a big day in Oshkosh. One of the more physical offensive linemen, and especially offensive tackles, in attendance, Dirksen's length was an asset, and he knew how to use it in his pass set, routinely winning at the contact point and after he locked out his arms and anchored his weight. I was also impressed with his hands, balance through contact and when working laterally, and overall physicality. He was looking to throw his weight around and hit some people. DII powerhouses Minnesota State-Mankato and Washburn University offered after his performance, with DII University of Jamestown and FCS Missouri Valley competitor Illinois State joining in on his recruitment a few days later. Talk about a summer stock riser! </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1126395' first='Orville' last='Blohm'] </strong>(<em>Winnebago Lutheran</em>, WI) 2027. 6'3, 257 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of my favorite OL of the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, Blohm was a hulking interior body who is excitedly only a sophomore, and he knew how to use his size, power, and physicality to his advantage in competitive settings. Coaches were clamoring about his massive powerball toss that seemed to go across the entire field according to legend, and during 1v1 pass pro reps he showed some mean, effective pop at the contact point, active hands that carried some weight behind them, and some flexibility and balance for his size and age, both in his stance, pass set, and after contact. Passed the eye test, backed up, and is only an underclassman? Sign me up!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Sam Incha</strong> (<em>Cambridge</em>, WI) 2026. 6'5, 243. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Walking into the designated Big Man field at the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, <strong>Incha</strong> was an immediate and impressive eye-catcher, coming in at a verified 6'5 with a significant amount of room to fill in. While passing the eye test with flying colors, <strong>Incha</strong> backed it up during 1v1 competition, using his length, balance, and core strength to win the bulk of his 1v1 pass pro reps in memorable fashion. Tough, hard-nosed, and nimble, was patient in his pass set and excelled at the contact point, and he had a great base that was strong and sturdy post-contact. <strong>Incha's</strong> ability to stay square and engaged while working laterally helped him routinely finish his reps with authority and dominance. After looking him up on the way home to Minneapolis, it made sense to discover that <strong>Incha</strong> was an accomplished wrestler with <em>Cambridge</em>, and I also learned that he doesn't have a single offer at this time. I smell a sleeper!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Zahn Anderson</strong> (<em>Escanaba</em>, MI) 2027. 6'4, 225 lbs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An immediate eye-catcher at a verified 6'4, 225 lbs. with a ton of room to fill in and add weight to his growing OT frame, Michigan product <strong>Anderson</strong> may be one of the biggest sleepers of the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp. With strong hands and significant length, <strong>Anderson</strong> could move some mass and win in both run & pass-blocking 1v1 settings when he locked out and extended his arm, and I was impressed by his strength at the point of attack for a light 225 lbs. with a year of varsity experience given up to a majority of his DL competition. The OT out of the Mitten also had a good base and could absorb and redistribute contact at the point of attack and I was impressed at how he was able to handle bendier speed rushers at the top of the arc and twitcher DEs working to his inside shoulder. A in-state DII was all over <strong>Anderson</strong>, but I still think he's under the radar given the age/length/competitiveness.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620317' first='Brady' last='Moranski'] </strong>(<em>Germantown</em>, WI) 2027. 6'4, 233 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My favorite OL prospect from the inaugural UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp came out of<em> Germantown High School,</em> a D2 talent factory outside of Menomonee Falls, and their rising junior LT <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620317' first='Brady' last='Moranski']</strong>. Personally, I think this kid is a Division 1 offensive line prospect with P4 potential, which wasn't just highlighted in testing, in which he popped off a 7.61 shuttle and 7.48 L-drill, but during 1v1 pass rush reps in particular. <strong>Moranski</strong> was exceptionally long and consistently technically sound, a tough combination for DEs to overcome no matter how they tried to attack him. Yes, <strong>Moranski</strong> could add some weight and strength, but he looked extremely comfortable and effective in his pass set, using a combination of length, foot speed, and balance to cut off, set his anchor, and stonewall rushers only a couple of steps upfield and even right at the LOS. <strong>Moranski</strong> was impressively bendy, did a great job of staying engaged and square post contact, and was laterally agile, especially given the size and age. Going into his second year as the starting LT for Germantown too; hope on the bandwagon now! </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>JJ Barnes </strong>(<em>Morton</em>, IL) 2026. 6'1, 232 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Easily one of the biggest winners from the OL/DL group of the inaugural UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, Barnes, an Illinois 5A product coming out of Morton High School, popped off a 4.43 and 4.51 shuttle during testing, as well as a 7.37 L-drill, and transitioned his high-level quickness in pass rush 1v1s especially well. Prior to the 1v1 performance, Barnes was an eye-catcher during drill work, showing off consistent pad level, twitch, and bend while running the hoop and the bags, and he came alive once the bright lights turned on at the end of camp. Barnes was simply too quick and twitchy for most OTs to handle, and his effort, strength, play speed, and balance allowed him to win on counters and second-effort moves and hustle. Could add some strength at the point of attack, but he's a good athlete with some real-deal juice off the edge. No offers yet! </p>

<p><strong>Cayden Janczewski</strong> <em>(Warren Township</em>, IL) 2026. 6'3, 241 lbs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gurnee, Illinois product <strong>Janczewski</strong> is on the camp grind, and <em>PrepRedzoneIL</em> was happy to see the <em>Warren Township </em>DE at back-to-back WIAC camps on back-to-back days to kick off June's first weekend. <strong>Janczewski</strong> had a good day during drills and 1v1 competition, catching the eye of a multitude of DII scholarship programs given the size and Illinois Big School experience, not to mention his pass-rushing capability. <strong>Janczewski</strong> was a tall, long, lean 240+ lber. who was a comfortable and experienced pass rusher who could come into reps with a plan, anticipate and setup OTs, and improve rep to rep in a camp setting. He beat OTs to either shoulder during pass rush 1v1s and could effectively go speed to power, displaying one of the more effective bull rushes of the DL group. The <em>Warren Township </em>rising senior was one of only a handful of attendees to earn an offer from the visiting DII power Washburn University due to his performance at the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1610206' first='Kingston' last='Steward']</strong> (<em>Sheboygan North,</em> WI) 2026. 6'3, 252 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Walking out of a camp with a scholarship offer, your first scholarship offer I may add, is never a bad thing, and <em>Sheboygan North </em>2026 standout DL was one of the biggest winners of the entire UWO Lake Show Mega Camp. With great size, good testing scores, and quite the eye-catching frame, one that was particularly hard to take your eyes off of during positional drills, <strong>Steward</strong> earned a ton of wins throughout the days 1v1s thanks to his athleticism and versatile pass rushing skillset, and although I really want him to work on getting that pad level, his combination of size, strength, and quickness isn't easy to find. <strong>Steward</strong> was one of only a handful of attendees to earn a scholarship from MIAA heavyweight Washburn University, who was this far north looking for big-bodied athletes. Problem solved if <strong>Steward</strong> commits! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533193' first='Quinn' last='Koepnick'] </strong>(<em>Union Grove,</em> WI) 2026. 6'1, 270 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A brick of a defensive tackle who had a couple dominant reps during board drill 1v1 reps to start off the OL/DL competition, I always seem to find myself enjoying <em>Union Grove</em> prospects, and <strong>Koepnick</strong> is the latest to watch the eyes of <em>PRzWI</em> this summer. The consistent pad level, heavy hands, and motivated leg drive were a dominant mix during pass rush 1v1s as well, and he played like a bull-in-a-China-shop, crashing, punching, and thrashing his way into the backfield in physically imposing fashion. UW-Oshkosh, Minnesota-Duluth, UW-River Falls, Sioux Falls, and UW-River Falls have all reached out with offers so far. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jordon Kohlbeck</strong> (<em>Oak Creek</em>, WI) 2026. 5'10, 240 lbs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bowling ball of a senior 3T, <strong>Kohlbeck</strong> comes out of a powerhouse<em> Oak Creek </em>program and represented the Division 1 Wisconsin program well. <strong>Kohlbeck</strong> brought the juice to competition, playing with enthusiasm, energy, and hustle, the latter of which should be a must for every camper, every rep, of every event and camp they attend, and he had a lot to be excited about, as he earned more than his fair share of wins throughout the 1v1 reps. Starting off with a strong showing during the board drill, where <strong>Kohlbeck</strong> put his natural leverage advantage and power on display against some fellow XL rising seniors. Transitioning to pro rush 1v1s, the Oak Creek product won with his power, displaying one of the most effective bull rushes in attendance, earning some "oohh's & aahh's" from his peers and coaches in attendance after putting some OGs on their butts. No Twitter for <strong>Kohlbeck</strong>, so I don't know what's going on in terms of his recruitment, but he's a strong, high-effort, high floor type defensive interior body coming out of a big-time Wisconsin program that DIII, NAIAs, and DIIs should get on their radar.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='700216' first='Landon' last='Schultz']</strong> (<em>Columbus</em>, WI) 2026. 6'2, 240 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An interior OL with a bulky, sturdy build, <strong>Schultz</strong> flashed some strong reps throughout the 1v1 pass pro reps, using an impressive combination of strength at the contact point and active feet to neutralize a variety of different rusher's skillsets and pass rushing attempts. Tested very well to start the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='206794' first='Jaxon' last='Rolsma']</strong> (<em>Hartford</em>, WI) 2027. 6',1 245 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rocking an old school cowboy collar and a nasty mean streak that one can only see and evaluate in pads and in competitive settings, <strong>Rolsma</strong> caught my eye due to some punishing finishes in both the board drill and pass rush 1v1s, stuffing opponents into the dirt and thriving in the ultra-physical, high-rep camp environment. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Kolin Liegl </strong>(<em>Menasha</em>, WI) 2026. 6'3, 350 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most physically imposing OL in attendance, <strong>Leigl's</strong> big note I had written from his individual performance at the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp was "overwhelming." Physically overwhelming thanks to the size, <strong>Liegl</strong> was a nasty finisher who could stonewall DL off the snap thanks to his size and strength and was looking to punish opponents as often as possible. Gotta love padded camps. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Dylan White</strong> (<em>Durand</em>, IL) 2026. 6'2, 265 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>White</strong> stepped up during the board drill and put one of the top DL prospects, who was just then getting discussed by some regional DIIs, flat on his butt in impressive fashion. What a way to make a statement! Sometimes it only takes a single rep. Tested well to open the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp as well! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Tyler Tulloch (</strong><em>Evanston</em>, IL) 2026. 6'1, 270 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A big kid with impressive hand usage who could routinely find his opponents chest pad, <strong>Tulloch</strong> was a strong kid at the point of attack who flashed during the board drill and pass rush 1v1 reps during competition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Defensive Linemen </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1220681' first='Vadim' last='Misiura']</strong> (<em>Cedar Grove-Belgium</em>, WI) 2026. 6'1, 289 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Didn't get to watch a ton of reps of the Cedar Grove-Belgium rising senior, but he was a well-built defensive tackle who overpowered opponents at the contact point and earned his share of 1v1 wins due to that strength. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1251538' first='Tristen' last='Seidl']</strong> (<em>Kettle Moraine</em>, WI) 2026. 6'3, 267 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another Wisconsin big schooler who came into the inaugural UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp and earned himself some scholarship money. The rising senior possessed heavy, active hands that were especially effective during pass rush reps, which had some scholarship GLIAC and NSIC programs buzzing during some rep-to-rep chatter. <strong>Seidl</strong> has been offered by Dakota State, Concordia-St. Paul, and Sioux Falls since the UW-Oshkosh Mega Camp.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1265289' first='Devon' last='Harris']</strong> (<em>Richland Center</em>, WI) 2026. 5'11, 188 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Obviously, the defensive lineman from <em>Richland Center</em> is undersized, but when a kid catches your eye he catches your eye, he catches your eye, and that can happen for a variety of reasons. <strong>Harris</strong> refused to turn down reps during padded 1v1s, and was tough, willing to bang the pads in the trenches, and had a motor that never quit. DIIIs should pay attention. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1693027' first='Reid' last='Oberstadt'] </strong>(<em>New London</em>, WI) 2026. 6'1, 220 lbs </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the biggest winners of the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, <strong>Oberstadt</strong> came alive during 1v1s, showing active, effective hand usage and an aptness at countering and winning post-contact, occasionally due to straight hustle and hunger. <strong>Oberstadt</strong> also did a good job of setting up and executing twitchy inside move during pass-pro reps, which flashed and left OL stuff in their ankles and punching at air. <strong>Oberstadt</strong> earned an offer from the hosting Titans due to his performance on Friday. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1223467' first='Eli' last='Grand'] </strong>(<em>Ellsworth</em>, WI) 2027. 6'2, 317 lbs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fresh off a strong opening camp performance at the UWEC Big Man Mega Camp, <em>Ellsworth</em> standout DT <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1223467' first='Eli' last='Grand'] </strong>went back-to-back as a top performer at the competing WIAC summer stops. <strong>Grand</strong> was really cooking at the UW-Oshkosh Lake Show Mega Camp, and his hips, hand usage, physicality, and overall technique helped him earn some hard-fought 1v1 reps against quality competition on the inside of the LOS. Verified size, tons of varsity experience, and some juice as a pass rusher from the inside, <strong>Grand</strong> has scholarship potential as a young and still-developing rising junior. </p>

<p><strong>Antonio Thompson</strong> (<em>Oshkosh North</em>, WI) 2026. 5'9, 219 lbs</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Despite being conventionally undersized, <strong>Thompson</strong> had a great day of 1v1s, giving some of the best OL in attendance fits thanks to his quickness, low center of gravity, and overall comfortability rushing the passer. The athleticism was backed up during testing at his nearly 220 pounds, and <strong>Thompson</strong> earned impressive wins against D1 and scholarship-worthy all pass pro 1v1 session long. DIIIs and NAIAs take notice! </p>

<p>*It was a quest and a half to try and track down the names of prospects at the inaugural UW-Oshkosh Mega Camp, so whoever was given 54B at the camp, please send me a DM or email me at: oliver@prepredzone.come and I will edit this article ASAP and put in your writeup. The name listed on the coaches roster for the OL/DL, which required the campers to switch jerseys, is Ryder Hans, but he was listed as a 5'11, 195 lb. 2028 from Wausau East, and the 54B I was watching was far larger than a 5'11 freshman. Same with 32B, who was listed as a WR on roster, and 44B. If you know who these players are please reach out and I'll update this feature. </p>
