This should be a competitive district with four of five teams having made the playoffs a season ago, including the Class A runner-up Omaha Westside Warriors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Creighton Prep</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2024 Record:</em> 4-6*</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2025 Schedule:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 1 - DeSmet Jesuit, MO (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 2 - Omaha Burke (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 - Lincoln Southeast (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 4 - Millard West (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 5 - Papillion-La Vista (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 6 - Omaha Central (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 - Fremont (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 8 - Omaha Westside (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 9 - Norfolk (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breakdown:</em> Although it took a while for the Jr Jays to find their groove, they were still able to get hot at the right time and earn a playoff spot. They had a very young squad last season, but that will look to pay off in 2025 as they return a good amount of starting experience. Creighton Prep is always good along the offensive and defensive lines, and that shouldn't be any different this fall with players like [player_tooltip player_id='796586' first='Ty' last='Ravnsborg'], [player_tooltip player_id='1217727' first='Elisee' last='Ahianti'], [player_tooltip player_id='1085149' first='Ayron' last='Shaw'], [player_tooltip player_id='1085131' first='Jake' last='Brock'], [player_tooltip player_id='1590726' first='Gavin' last='Trapp'], [player_tooltip player_id='1581447' first='Cooper' last='Fix'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1085159' first='Roberto' last='Macias-Sidzyik']. CB [player_tooltip player_id='1157382' first='Vincent' last='Sall'] and safety [player_tooltip player_id='488119' first='Preston' last='Woodward'] are a productive duo who will be great leaders in the secondary. Lastly, RB [player_tooltip player_id='1113969' first='Angelo' last='Walker'] is a prospect who I have projected to have a breakout season with a new QB under center and a strong offensive line. The biggest test for the Jr Jays will come in week eight when they take on rival Omaha Westside in a game that could determine districts and playoff seeding.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1113969' first='Angelo' last='Walker'] (2026), RB -

Fremont returns a good amount of experience from last season, which should complement some exciting youngsters well. The QB spot looks to be a battle through the preseason with senior <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1105170' first='Ayden' last='Bohaboj']</em> and <em>[player_tooltip player_id='1549521' first='Will' last='Schleicher']</em> vying for the starting role. Senior DL [player_tooltip player_id='1556214' first='Nolan' last='Menning'] should be back fully healthy and ready to show us why he's one of the top DL in the 2026 class. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1086177' first='Hudson' last='Jennings'] is also another name to watch as he takes on a bigger role on offense and defense for the Tigers. Fremont faces a tough schedule with four playoff teams to end the season in state runner-up Westside, Creighton Prep, Papio-La Vista, and Omaha Central. However, if they can put it all together, I could see them making a playoff push. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1105170' first='Ayden' last='Bohaboj'] (2026), QB -

Although gradual, the Eagles' rise to a playoff contender has been impressive to watch with their mix of youth and athleticism. One of the team's biggest strengths going into the 2025 season is going to be their secondary, where they feature the best safety combination in the state. Iowa State commit [player_tooltip player_id='402156' first='Kaprice' last='Keith'] has transferred over from Bellevue West to team up with five-star safety [player_tooltip player_id='422820' first='Tory' last='Pittman III'] in what is one of the most athletic and explosive 1-2 punches I've seen. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='795611' first='DeAnthony' last='Dial'], junior Cecilio Lorendon III, and sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1590700' first='Yasir' last='Grixby'] should all play key roles in the secondary. Senior QB [player_tooltip player_id='487569' first='BJ' last='Newsome'] continues to fly under the radar in recruiting circles, but another offseason of development and another productive season should fly him up some boards. He will be accompanied in the backfield by 3-star RB [player_tooltip player_id='212374' first='Kylonn' last='Haynie'], who holds several Power 4 offers from schools like Wisconsin, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Nebraska, among other D1 offers. The offensive line should also be a strength with a top-notch trio of seniors in [player_tooltip player_id='1113979' first='Aubrey' last='Ross Jr'], [player_tooltip player_id='487797' first='Jerry' last='Jackson Jr'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1395243' first='Kelvaun' last='Gordon']. The Eagles will start their season with a huge test against the Bellevue West Thunderbirds. They will also face playoff teams in Omaha North, Westside, Creighton Prep, Papillion-La Vista, and Millard North.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1113979' first='Aubrey' last='Ross Jr'] (2026), OL -

Even after losing a great 2025 class, the Warriors are still stacked top to bottom with experienced playmakers and some new faces looking to make an impact. One of the Warriors' biggest strengths is their QB [player_tooltip player_id='487734' first='Braylen' last='Warren'], a four-star prospect drawing Power 4 attention across the country, who looked incredibly poised as a sophomore with 2,105 passing yards, 175 rushing yards, 30 passing touchdowns, and two rushing touchdowns. He will have all-star weapons around him, including junior RB [player_tooltip player_id='1085158' first='TayTay' last='Jenkins'], senior Washington State commit [player_tooltip player_id='1114433' first='Maurice' last='Purify II'], and senior receiver [player_tooltip player_id='357772' first='Eli' last='Johnson']. The offensive line will have some key returning starters in [player_tooltip player_id='1625833' first='Ahmad' last='Rustamov'] and NW Missouri State commit [player_tooltip player_id='487559' first='Owen' last='James']. There are a few intriguing youngsters in [player_tooltip player_id='1192556' first='Zyaire' last='Najera'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1581454' first='Justin' last='Parish Jr'], with the size and upside to earn some playing time on the OL. The backend of the Warriors' defense will also be a strength with star safety and Iowa State commit [player_tooltip player_id='402141' first='Bryson' last='Williams'] patrolling the deep field. A pair of NW Missouri commits will also be pivotal players in the second and third levels with LB [player_tooltip player_id='402164' first='Quinton' last='Warren'] and safety [player_tooltip player_id='795605' first='Reid' last='McIntyre']. Drew Kline and Millard West transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1614951' first='Spencer' last='Stutheit'] are also names to watch. The Warriors open up the season in one of the biggest games of the year against the Omaha North Vikings— this could be a preview of a late-November playoff game. Their week seven game against Elkhorn South could carry heavy playoff implications by the time that rolls around. Millard West, Bellevue West, Omaha Central, Creighton Prep, and Papillion-La Vista are all games against playoff teams from last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1625833' first='Ahmad' last='Rustamov'] (2026), OL -

Coach McLaughlin will have quite the roster to work with in year one, as the Monarchs will feature great talent in the trenches and solid depth at the skill positions. The starting QB position is a question at the moment with the departure of last season's starter; however, junior [player_tooltip player_id='1627057' first='RJ' last='Vitera'] seems like the frontrunner after serving as the backup as a sophomore. Senior RB [player_tooltip player_id='487610' first='Brody' last='Parr'], who rushed for 435 yards and four touchdowns last season, will make the life of whoever steps in at QB1 easier with his versatility. Fellow senior [player_tooltip player_id='487613' first='Kayne' last='Hassler'] and [player_tooltip player_id='487614' first='Logan' last='Holtmeyer'] (68 tackles, 37 TFLs, and 12 sacks) should provide crucial senior leadership along the offensive and defensive lines. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='487611' first='Micah' last='Arellano'] will be the top headhunter on the defense after recording 78 tackles, 14 TFLs, three sacks, and an interception last year. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1547254' first='Bryce' last='Vigness'] is emerging as one of the state's top IOLs after offers from Pitt and South Dakota State. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1086061' first='Luke' last='Bennett'] is also an interesting junior to watch as he could become the top target in the offense. The Monarch's schedule looks favorable to return to the playoffs with their two biggest tests coming against last year's state champs, week six against Millard South, and closing out the regular season against the state runner-up, Omaha Westside. Cross-town rivals Papio South, North Star, Creighton Prep, and Omaha Central were all playoff teams last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='487610' first='Brody' last='Parr'] (2026), RB - 5'8" 170 lbs - Dordt Commit - <a href="https://x.com/Brodyparr23" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@Brodyparr23)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17713516/673161ba084dd514253012de' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6889b1e4bfd03"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='487613' first='Kayne' last='Hassler'] (2026), OL - 6'3" 270 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/HasslerKayne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@HasslerKayne)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='487614' first='Logan' last='Holtmeyer'] (2026), DL - 6'0" 295 lbs - Wayne State Commit - <a href="https://x.com/logan_holtmeyer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@logan_holtmeyer)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18909614/6736b503d51e98451a07c5a5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6889b1e4bfd20"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='487611' first='Micah' last='Arellano'] (2026), LB - 5'11" 190 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/MicahArellano4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@MicahArellano4)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17714662/673278c12e3139b82a30ddb8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6889b1e4bfd3c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1547254' first='Bryce' last='Vigness'] (2027), OL - 6'3" 275 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/BryceVigness" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@BryceVigness)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22037912/66f426b6e23111e2f58842e3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6889b1e4bfd57"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1086061' first='Luke' last='Bennett'] (2027), WR - 6'3" 190 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/LukeBennett2027" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@LukeBennett2027)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19430024/66ef43e36172dc78fbdf4d18' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6889b1e4bfd74"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1627057' first='RJ' last='Vitera'] (2027), QB - 6'2" 190 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/RJ_Vitera" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@RJ_Vitera)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Notable Losses:</em> Antonio Digiacomo (RB), Isaac Pamaran (WR/ATH), Kale Johnson (LB/ATH), Garin Maley (OL), Owen Bogacz (WR), Trey Richardson (DB), [player_tooltip player_id='402142' first='Cameron' last='Leggett'] (Transfer), and [player_tooltip player_id='1590688' first='Michael' last='Valencia Jr'] (Transfer)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>* Notes playoff appearance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure to follow&nbsp;<em>@PRZ_OscarG</em>&nbsp;for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
