<p>The Bloomington Kennedy Eagles have been on the come-up as a program the last couple of years, and this year's team touts one of the biggest name prospects to date. Kennedy has both a promising young core and a solid group of returning vets, so this could be the year they cement themselves as one of the better programs in the Twin Cities metro area. Meet some of the Eagles' top talent!</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A rankings riser and South Dakota commit, Kelly is a forceful trench dog who should be an elite anchor for the Eagles' offensive line. The kid has insane power, and there isn't a DT that he can't move off the line. He moves insanely well for a prospect of his size, and could likely play either tackle or guard at the next level. When he collides with a defender, more often than not, they end up in the dirt. Kelly is going to be a leader and an excellent OL to run behind during his senior year. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A highly touted 2028 prospect who is noted as among the best in his class, Boyd is expected to play a key role on both sides of the ball for Kennedy this fall. Last year, he brought down 16 tackles and a FF, as well as 43 rushing yards as a freshman, a stat line likely to improve come September. Although he doesn't have any tape yet, his past success and high praise from teammates are indicative of his potential to make a serious impact during his sophomore season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most exciting prospects, not only among 2026's but in the state as a whole, Girley has one of the highest upsides out of anyone in the state. He posted eye-popping stats last season: 69 total tackles, 7 TFLs, 2.0 sacks, and a blocked kick, all within just 9 games. His tape has flashes of brilliance, and he showcases how quick he is, especially for his size, early and often. He works hard to hawk down ball carriers that get past gaps near him, and he can work through double teams with brute force. Girley's recruitment and play should see an uptick during his senior season, something I'm eagerly awaiting. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A PRZ combine standout who saw limited varsity time as a freshman, Miller is expected to step into an evolved role as a defensive lineman as a sophomore after an exciting summer on the camp circuit. He doesn't have any tape from last season, but he does have some film from his summer camp performances. He looks to be filling out well and should be someone to keep an eye out for during the 2025 season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Another promising trench dog hailing from Bloomington Kennedy, Borges tallied 27 total tackles and 3.0 sacks last season for the Eagles. He's tested well at camps this summer, and passes the eye test immediately. He doesn't have a lot of tape from last fall, but in what he does have, Borges showed off a high motor and relentless pursuit. Borges is a bit of an enigma, but one who I'm excited to see more of throughout this fall. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A productive LB/RB who returns after making a massive two-way impact during his sophomore year, Amadi possesses a ton of traits that make him a prime target for higher-level schools. Last season, he rushed for 426 yards and 3 TDs while averaging 5.5 YPC. Amadi also made a massive impact on defense, where he brought down 47 total tackles, 6 TFLs, and 2 blocked kicks in just 7 games. In his film, Amadi is a violent tackler who can work seamlessly through the wash to disrupt run plays. This kid is a workhorse on both sides of the ball and needs more attention ahead of his junior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An underrated offensive/defensive lineman and a returning varsity starter for the Eagles, Haecherl is a powerhouse on the interior offensive line. He's an explosive run blocker who moves well in space. Haecherl works to the second level early and often, and with his fast feet and mean streak, he's able to bully linebackers and offensive linemen alike. I loved what I saw on his tape, and Haecherl could end up being a great signing for MIAC/WIAC schools.</p>
