PRZMN 2025 Stock Up Showcase: WR/TE Honorable Mentions

Despite the blistering cold of Sunday, December 14th's frozen tundra of a morning and afternoon, over 250 Minnesotans, Wisconsinites, Iowans, and North Dakotans descended on the Brooklyn Park Sports Dome for a tremendous day of competition. Split across two sessions and staffed & scouted by half a dozen college programs from around the state, the 2025 PrepRedzoneMN Stock Up Showcase ratched up, with the smell of Session 1's RBs, LBs, OL, and DL still wafting in the air of the BP Sports Dome, your PRZMN's post-event coverage continues with post-Xmas coverage from the LOADED Session 2 of skill talent from the WRs, DBs, and QBs. It was a talent-ridden affair highlighted by underclassmen, breakout talent, and a ton of D1 potential, especially from the WR and TEs. Your Honorable Mentions from the Pass Catchers are below! Happy holidays!   --   Honorable Mentions   [player_tooltip player_id='1581401' first='Vincent' last='Prasky'] (Champlin Park) 2027. 5'11, 180 lbs. 6' wing, 9.5" hands.   Strong showing from an under-the-radar rising senior wideout from the 6A ranks in [player_tooltip player_id='1581401' first='Vincent' last='Prasky']. Good performance during testing, as the Champlin Park Rebel went 4.88 in the 40, 4.69 in the shuttle, and 9'1" in the broad jump, and he flashed vertical explosiveness and a smooth ability to get in and out of his breaks. Looking forward to getting him on the 2027 Big Board.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/24-Vincent-Prasky.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086591" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1581401' first='Vincent' last='Prasky'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1703012' first='Derek' last='Nooyen'] (Esko) 2027. 5'10, 171 lbs.   Esko has continued to pump out scholarship-level talent since the departure of heralded All-American Koi Perich, and their 2027 class is looking well represented by junior WR [player_tooltip player_id='1703012' first='Derek' last='Nooyen']. The 5'10, 171 lber. has been receiving his fair share of DII and FCS recruiting attention going into the all-important junior year offseason, and he showed up and showed out during all three phases of the 2025 PRZMN Stock Up Showcase. Nooyen was one of the stronger route runners in attendance, using his shifty hips, quickness, and overall speed to prove himself especially dangerous at the top of the route, as well as at the LOS in his releases. Light footed, able to break off his routes smoothly, and was very dangerous when working vertically. NSIC schools should be on notice.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/32-Derek-Nooyen.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086596" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1703012' first='Derek' last='Nooyen'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2072985' first='Cody' last='Roschen'] (Red Wing) 2027. 6', 147 lbs.   507 product Roschen is a good athlete who showed up particularly well during testing and 1v1s, where he was able to apply his quickness and explosiveness into a positive win rate against a variety of different DBs. Those same green athletic numbers should serve the Wingers two-way prospect into the next level, as a collegiate S&C program should really be able to build upon his natural foundation of athleticism. MIAC and NAIA programs should especially be on notice.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/39-Cody-Roschen.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086605" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='2072985' first='Cody' last='Roschen'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2053868' first='Briggs' last='Tarnowski'] (Rogers) 2028. 6', 171 lbs. 6" wing, 8.25" wingspan.   PRZMN is pretty excited about the ceiling and potential of Rogers Royals sophomore pass catcher [player_tooltip player_id='2053868' first='Briggs' last='Tarnowski']. Talk about a good athlete, Tarnowski went 4.9 in the 40, 4.47 in the shuttle, 9'5" in the broad, and 7.6 in the L-drill, proving he already belongs in the upper echelons of the state's sophomore receiver class, and he flashed some good reps during 1v1s to earn wins against varsity defensive backs. Name to watch out of the newly-minted 6A program.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/59-Briggs-Tarnowski.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086624" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='2053868' first='Briggs' last='Tarnowski'] 2028</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1646034' first='Thomas' last='Niggeler'] (Pillager) 2027. 6'1, 173 lbs.   One of the faster 2027 wideouts in Minnesota, Niggeler once again had a strong in-person showing, highlighted by more green testing data and a skillset built on explosiveness and vertical ability. Tons of long speed, great deep tracking ability, and shifty at the top of the route, with loose hips and noticeable burst once he stacks the DB or powers out of a break. Good to get another in person look at the Outstate standout pass catcher from the Class AA ranks.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/61-Thomas-Niggeler.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086625" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1646034' first='Thomas' last='Niggeler'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1633408' first='Delani' last='Oreso'] (Hudson, WI) 2027. 6'3, 161 lbs.   Representing the Badger State and the always-talented Hudson Raiders program, Oreso's verified 6'3 height & wingspan made him an easy eye-catcher when scanning and scouting during 1v1s, where his size advantage was put to good use. Oreso, thanks to his verified quickness and COD skill (4.5 shuttle x2), as well as his ability to drop his hips at 6'3", made him a consistent separator against a variety of different defensive backs, and he showed an exciting ability to climb the ladder and win in 50/50 settings, made him a mismatch nightmare and coaches favorite throughout competition. Great frame when talking next level too.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/77-Delani-Oreso.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086640" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Delani Oreso 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1184480' first='Henry' last='Nieman'] (Tomahawk) 2029. 6'6, 214 lbs. 6'5" wingspan, 9.5" hands.   The Upper Midwest is prime time territory for TE recruiting, and the Badger State has a seemingly great one on their hands in Tomahawk's [player_tooltip player_id='1184480' first='Henry' last='Nieman']. A massive freshman who passed the eye test with flying colors, Nieman tested well during the combine portion of the event, showing a good base of athleticism, especially quickness and explosiveness, that gets me excited about his potential to develop and improve once he grows into that massive frame of his. Additionally, the freshman TE did a good job of breaking down and firing out of his breaks as a route runner, and he showed impressive coordination, soft hands, and overall ability to separate and catch the ball for his size and age. Tomahawk is also a fun town with some beautiful lakes that happen to be where my some of my wife's family resides, so maybe I'll take a stop to watch Nieman in the near future, which is looking bright for the young buck!   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/75-Henry-Nieman.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086638" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Henry Nieman 2029</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2072014' first='Tyson' last='Charles'] (Minnetonka) 2029. 5'6, 130 lbs.   WR #82 came alive during 1v1s, where the diminutive yet productive freshman from Minnetonka High School proved himself to be one of the more consistent route runners and 1v1 winners during competition. Charles was able to win through contact, especially at the catch point, and his play speed showed up well in more competitive settings. Good showing for his first PRZMN Showcase!   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/82-Tyson-Charles.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086646" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='2072014' first='Tyson' last='Charles'] 2030</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2059724' first='Ogbondah' last='Amadi'] (Blaine) 2030. 5'6, 156 lbs.   We had an 8th grader sneak himself into the action on the 14th in Brooklyn Park! Lucky for us too, he's a good one, as 2030 wideout Ogondah Amadi, who has reported an invite to the 8th grade Under Armour Next All-America Game, earned more than his fair share of wins against high school and even starting varsity competition. After nearly going sub-5-seconds in the 40, I loved Amadi's back-to-back 4.6 shuttles, not to mention the 7.03 and 6.91 L-drill, and his 8'3" and 8' broads even sweetened the pot, meaning this kid is a plus athlete and extremely quick for his age, and his footwork at the LOS and in his releases was especially polished. He's got some nuance to his game for a young buck and I'll be keeping tabs on where Amadi ends up for his prep career next cycle.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/92-Ogbondah-Amadi.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086656" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='2059724' first='Ogbondah' last='Amadi'] 2029</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='642679' first='Trace' last='Fitzgerald'] (Champlin Park) 2027. 5'7, 153 lbs.   If we're doing a MN slot receiver draft you're going to find Champlin Park's [player_tooltip player_id='642679' first='Trace' last='Fitzgerald'] near the top of the list. One of the better verified athletes in the 2027 class, the rising senior Rebel is lightning-quick in and out of his breaks as a route runner, proving his can create separation at multiple points throughout a single route, and his vertical speed was some of the best in attendance amongst around 150 offensive skill participants. Should be a huge senior season for Fitzgerald in 2026.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/97-Trace-Fitzgerald.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086662" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='642679' first='Trace' last='Fitzgerald'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1657478' first='James' last='Crawford'] (Brooklyn Center) 2027. 5'8, 137 lbs.   Brooklyn Center is stocked full of good football players right now, and the Centaurs had the single strongest showing of any high school program in attendance at the Brooklyn Park Sports Dome, led by natural, explosive playmakers like rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='1657478' first='James' last='Crawford']. The 2027 two-way dynamo was out there having fun with it, and his smooth, easy gait and COD ability combined with his over-the-top vertical ability equaled some flat-out electric 1v1 wins. Crawford's big-play speed and smooth hips at the top of the route allowed him to win deep seemingly every time I looked over, and his ease and route running capability at the position had DBs on their heels in anticipation for the oncoming explosiveness. I saw him win on a particularly filthy corner/post deep into the 1v1 session that really kept my attention. DIIIs, NAIAs, and JUCOs should be all over this kid.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/100-James-Crawford.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086665" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1657478' first='James' last='Crawford'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1653411' first='Jakhi' last='Castile'] (Cretin-Derham Hall) 2028.   A double session standout as a RB and WR, Castile was super quick during 1v1s, catching PRZMN's eyes for his COD ability as a route runner during competition. Good to see some legitimate offensive versatility from the CDH underclassman.   [player_tooltip player_id='1644648' first='Datione' last='warren'] (MPLS Camden) 2027. 5'8, 158 lbs.   Lots to like about MPLS Camden rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='1644648' first='Datione' last='warren']. Not only did the versatile offensive utility weapon show up and show out at BOTH sessions of the 2025 PRZMN Stock Up Showcase, he also brings a decorated track and field record to the table as a prospect. 11.36 100M PR and 22.60 200M PR is some serious speed getting brought to the table, and he backed it up during testing as well as 1v1 competition. Warren's deep speed and ball tracking ability allowed him to win rep after rep when working vertically, which forced DBs to give him cushion, which then opened up the shorter and more intermediate routes when he wanted as well. Definitely an under-the-radar talent in the 2027 class and out of Minneapolis and the 612 zip code.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/101-Datione-Warren.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086666" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1644648' first='Datione' last='warren'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='205630' first='Taylor' last='Carter'] (Cedar Falls, IA) 2028. 5'9", 145 lbs.   Representing the Great State of Iowa, Cedar Falls product [player_tooltip player_id='205630' first='Taylor' last='Carter'] had a strong showing up north in Minnesota at the PRZMN Stock Up Showcase. A legit burner with noticeable explosive ability, Carter went 4.8 in the 40, 4.6 in the short shuttle, 9' in the broad, and 7.13 in the L-drill, and his length and big play ability were an asset during 1v1s. Overall, Carter displays a well-rounded skillset for an underclassman who has already seen, and found success against, some legit competition.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/126-Taylor-Carter.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086687" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='205630' first='Taylor' last='Carter'] 2028</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1557071' first='Kingston' last='Jones'] (Blaine) 2027. 5'10, 168 lbs.   First off, Jones popped off a 4.81 40, 10' broad (!), and 7.03 in the L-drill, so the Blaine Bengals rising senior let us know early that he didn't come to mess around. Running with the wideouts, Jones won the majority of his reps when working vertically, but he also proved himself to be one of the more physical WRs in attendance, with good balance through contact, strength at the catch point, and burst. Plus, he showed he could change tempos a bit as a route runner, and had some explosive Ws throughout 1v1 competition. Blaine High School had a good day overall in Brooklyn Park.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/12/133-Kingston-Jones.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2086694" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1557071' first='Kingston' last='Jones'] 2027</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1880478' first='Jacayre' last='Smith'] (MPLS Camden) 2027. 5'9, 165 lbs.   More MPLS Camden standouts from the PRZMN Stock Up Showcase! A sleeper out of the rising senior class, [player_tooltip player_id='1880478' first='Jacayre' last='Smith'] ran a fake comeback double move that was one of the dirtier and more highlight-reel-worthy routes and 1v1 wins of the day. All-District pick with the Patriots in 2025 as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1719095' first='Antonio' last='Brown'] III (White Bear Lake) 2029. 5'11, 152 lbs. 6'2" wing, 8.75" hands.   White Bear Lake has a good one in freshman sensation [player_tooltip player_id='1719095' first='Antonio' last='Brown'] III! A good tester who started the PRZMN Stock Up Showcase off in strong fashion, platforming himself for what was a tremendous individual effort during 1v1 competition. Of all the strengths, I thought Brown III's footwork at the top of the route was especially impressive, but he was overall a very accomplished route runner for his age who could win vertically and showed a ton of juice out of his cuts. More than their fair share of Ws went the way of the WBL product on Sunday afternoon.   --
