In his first season with Waverly, Brockston has thrown for 2,223 yards, 25 touchdowns (5 ints), and a 123.7 QBR on a 64% completion rate. At 6'4" and 205 pounds, Brockston has the size that coaches will look for at the next level. When watching Brockston's tape, I was impressed by his ability to do it all as a passer; he can stand tall in the pocket to deliver strikes downfield, run play-action/rollout, and even improvise on his legs to buy time for his receivers. He has the arm strength to rifle the ball deep downfield, and he can fit it into tight windows in the short-intermediate range. I had the opportunity to watch Brockston and the Vikings play in a very exciting shootout against Norris, and I was very impressed by the poise he showed in key moments of a crucial game. Teply is set to have a busy offseason with the tape he's put out and with the potential to put the stamp on a great junior/team season with a championship.    [player_tooltip player_id='2062081' first='Huxton' last='Katt'], RB/LB - Lincoln East - 5'11" 205 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/huxtonkatt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@huxtonkatt)</a>   Here's a new name on my radar as Lincoln East junior [player_tooltip player_id='2062081' first='Huxton' last='Katt'] managed to stand out on offense and defense in his first season as a major varsity contributor. Huxton ended the year as the Spartans' leading rusher with 476 yards and five touchdowns and second in tackles with 85 total stops. Katt also added eight TFLs, a sack, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and an interception on defense. Offensively, I was impressed with Huxton's twitch to make defenders miss in tight spaces as well as his quick burst of speed when he finds the open field. He had several runs where he would make a subtle, shifty cut/juke that would make defenders whiff, and it looked very effortless. Katt can also be a receiving target out of the backfield with 13 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. Huxton's defensive tape is just as impressive as he projects as a fast, instinctive linebacker who is quick to shoot his gap and has the toughness/power to stop RBs in their tracks. As soon as he keys in on the run, Huxton is quick to break downhill and has the closing speed to meet ballcarriers behind the line of scrimmage for a loss. Somebody to start watching NOW!    [player_tooltip player_id='1085106' first='Josiah' last='Wardlow'], DB - Millard North - 5'11" 180 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/josiahwardlow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@JosiahWardlow)</a>   Millard North DB [player_tooltip player_id='1085106' first='Josiah' last='Wardlow'] has already started to turn some heads, earning his first D1 offer from the South Dakota Coyotes during the season. When you look at the tape and production, it's clear why the Coyotes were quick to offer Wardlow, as he ended his junior campaign with 37 tackles and four interceptions. The Mustangs' junior plays with a great combination of range and instincts, which are valuable for a deep-field coverage safety. He is very quick to diagnose a play and can fluidly flip his hips to pick up receivers crossing his zone. Josiah plays the ball well with the physicality to challenge receivers at the catch point and the ball skills/hands to capitalize for a turnover. Josiah isn't just a coverage safety; he will also break downhill to help sniff out the run and take on backs 1v1. Good form tackler. Wardlow also got some touches on the offensive side of the ball with 12 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. With South Dakota already in the fold, it's only a matter of time before other programs take notice as well.    [player_tooltip player_id='1085632' first='Levi' last='Walker'], RB - Plattsmouth - 5'11" 175 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/leviwalker_12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@leviwalker_12)</a>   Another big year for Plattsmouth Blue Devils RB [player_tooltip player_id='1085632' first='Levi' last='Walker'], who made it back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Walker carried the ball 208 times for 1,524 yards and 15 touchdowns while averaging 7.3 yards per carry and 152.4 yards per game. When you watch Levi's tape, you see a springy back who is patient as he finds a lane, before exploding through his gap with a great burst. Walker finds lanes very well with his top-tier vision while also possessing the agility to make the quick changes in direction as soon as he identifies an opening crease. Walker's shifty cuts and contact balance allow him to stay upright as he weaves through defenses and takes on contact. He's also willing to seek out contact, and you'll often see him fighting off defenders with a mean stiff arm or dropping his pads. Good job finishing runs with a good forward lean. Great motor keeps him energized even in the fourth quarter. Buy stock now!    [player_tooltip player_id='1845148' first='Kolten' last='Green'], LB - Seward - 6'3" 215 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/KoltenGreen">(@KoltenGreen)</a>   As the Seward Bluejays offense navigated major injuries, the defense remained constant throughout the season, with several breakout players, including junior [player_tooltip player_id='1845148' first='Kolten' last='Green']. Kolten ended the season third on the team in tackles with 82, as well as a TFL and three interceptions. Kolten stands out physically with projectable size at 6'3", 215 pounds, and room to continue adding mass to his frame. Green stands out as a versatile defensive playmaker who flashed his ability to drop into coverage, defend the run, and rush the QB. He does a great job reading his keys, quickly flipping his hips to fall back in space or planting his foot and driving downhill to stuff the run. Kolten's heads-up play and instinctive ball skills have led to some turnovers, showing his ability to be in the right place at the right time. He also possesses the power to take command when engaged at the line of scrimmage with his ability to stack and shed blocks as he holds the edge. Kolten was also a contributor on the offensive side of the ball, showcasing his physical blocking skills and serving as a big-bodied offensive weapon with 104 rushing yards, 120 receiving yards, and a rushing touchdown. Intriguing prospect who should be invited to campus visits this spring.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Make sure to follow @PRZ_OscarG for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.
