2026 Rankings Update: Uncommitted Newcomers

Even after years of coverage we are still finding impressive athletes to add to the rankings for the incoming senior class here in WI. This wave is a special one that includes even a few D1 commits. We want to focus our attention on the uncommitted athletes in this article, though, so we are going to go a little deeper into the rankings to shine the spotlight exactly where it needs to be. Coaches, make sure these kids are on your radars! Let's get started!    Our #1 uncommitted newcomer to the rankings comes from the 8 man league. [player_tooltip player_id='1777726' first='Mason' last='Busse'] is an impressive OL prospect who has earned offers from nearly every level including an FBS offer from Western Michigan. The 6'5” 280 lbs incoming senior sure looks the part of a high level OL. On tape you see the big fella tossing around DL in the trenches as easily as he throws DBs to the ground 20 yards downfield. The big man separates himself from other OL recruits with his ability to move that massive frame quickly an efficiently without ever losing his power that he can deliver to opponents. Mason also plays with that violent mentality that you look for in those top of the line recruits that round out a special prospect. The mentality, size, and physicality come together in this impressive recruit. Coaches will need to make sure they have their eyes on the 8 man league this fall.     The TE position is one of the best positions in the Class of 2026 and the top newcomer is Rice Lake's [player_tooltip player_id='1801488' first='Will' last='Svendsen']. Will fits the mold of the receiving TE. A long, lean frame that still has the power to use his size to create separation and also gain yards after contact. Will plays the position more like a big WR, though. He has the speed to get downfield and behind DBs. His ability to go get the ball off the top shelf or between levels of defenders is impressive. The TE has natural hands that catch the ball away from his body and are able to secure the catch in traffic too. Developing in the Rice Lake offense has also given Will plenty of chances to develop his run blocking so he is far from new to that part of the game. The offer list is strong and could grow early this season.     We have been a big fan of the Bay Port RB since watching him lead the Pirates to the D1 State Championship last November. Now he is back and ready to try and repeat that success in 2025. Brady has the tools to surpass his output from 2024. He has some of the more natural gifts of all the RBs in the state. He can accelerate to top speed within a few steps, making it look like he was shot out of a cannon when he flies through gaps. The speed is there too to create the field-flipping run up the middle or down the sideline. Brady also separates himself with his ability to create space with his agility and also create yards after contact with his contact balance. Moon runs really strong at 180 lbs. I'm jacked up to watch this Pirates offense headlined by the RB.     One of the top new OL in the rankings comes to us from Evansville, a team that saw several athletes added to the 2027 rankings as well. Tanner has earned offers from River Falls and Duluth this summer, and that should be just the start of things. The 6'3” 260 lbs OL starts his highlights off with several examples of his elite range and ability to land devastating blocks on elusive DBs. Watch further into the highlights and you see that the athleticism is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his talents. Tanner's power is his true moneymaker. Whether it be setting his anchor in pass pro and standing up DL, or shoving them straight into the dirt, or absolutely mauling DL/LBs in the run game Tanner is one of those tone setters. He is violent, strong, and plays with no remorse between the white lines. Evansville is going to be a team to watch and Tanner is a big reason why.     I have become a big fan of Tosin's over the past year. He has attended multiple PRZ WI Showcases and earned Standout Honors every time. The 2026 LB/ATH is all over the field for Whitefish Bay playing both LB and RB, but defense looks like the home of the 6'3” 210 lbs athlete. Tosin fits the role of an edge defender very well. He has shown he can take on kick out blocks, stand them up and shed them, then make the tackle without giving up an inch of room. His strength and speed to power as a pass rusher shine when he can get hands on and bull rush through OTs on his way to the QB. On top of it all Tosin has outstanding speed to run the loop to the QB or chase down plays from behind. We could see Tosin back as a riser during the postseason update. Keep a close eye on this kid.     The Holmen OL/DL is one of my favorite finds in this update. He earned an offer from River Falls this summer as well as an offer from Mankato after showing up to a camp and winning best DL of the event. The 6'2” 260 lbs senior dominates with quickness off the line, leverage, and that power that jumps off the screen when you watch him on tape. On offense, when Jagger gets his hands on there is no getting away from him. He is going to drive you backwards in the run game until you are on your back. That same power on defense makes him a great anchor in the trenches to hold     Our final top newcomer in the trenches for this article is Cambridge's [player_tooltip player_id='1801563' first='Samuel' last='Incha']. The 6'6” 250 lbs senior OL enters his senior season looking for his first offer it looks like. There is no chance that that will last long when the fresh tape starts coming out. Looking back at his junior tape, we see a ton of pass pro reps. Reps that show the big fella sliding, changing directions, and mirroring pass rushers easily. He uses his reach to his advantage and plays with confidence and trust in his feet to keep him square in front of his man. Samuel does a great job with his anchor too, not giving any ground when he meets the edge defender. The breakout season is on our doorstep for the massive OT recruit.     Adrian enters the season with offers from Bemidji State and Upper Iowa. The 6'4” 230 lbs senior plays TE for Fond du Lac and has the size, power, and athleticism to be a three down TE at the next level. On offense Adrian has shown that he can line up inline and use his power to get quick, clean releases. As a route runner, his quickness at his breaks are what open up separation for him. He plays with enough speed, but that quickness in short areas gives him the advantage. It also shines as a run blocker, allowing him to position himself between ball and defender.     [player_tooltip player_id='1801577' first='Shea' last='Jones'] is one of my favorites in this talented TE list. He is undersized compared to the rest, but physicality and mentality on the field put him on par with the rest. I have heard that same feeling from a college coach this summer too. They love the way he plays the position and it has earned him several offers already. You can line Shea up all over the formation and put him in scenarios to be a mismatch as a receiver or blocker. Whether it be using him to kick out defenders across the formation or stretch the seam as a receiving threat. Shea is an athlete that defenses need to locate and identify every snap.     We end with one of my personal favorite offensive weapons in the state. [player_tooltip player_id='1641776' first='Jackson' last='Niemiec'] plays one of the wings for Muskego's offense and has the tools to continue to play RB or WR. Jackson is one of the most dangerous athletes with the ball in his hands. His instincts to find/setup blocks, read angles, and find cutback lanes leads to big play after big play on a weekly basis. Jackson is able to create space in tight quarters then use his burst to turn that sliver of space into a big play. Once he finds green grass it is tough to keep him from pulling away from the field. We are in store for another monster year from the electric playmaker.
