<p>The Iowa West Sports Plex was once again the hotspot for NE/IA talent as we held our annual PRZ Stock Up Showcase. Despite a snowstorm a few days earlier, we still saw nearly 100 prospects attend to showcase their talents, ranging from seniors to rising freshmen.</p>

<p>Continuing coverage with a few of the players who really stood out in my eyes. Here are five prospects who SHOULD be on your radar asap!</p>

<p><strong><em>Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte (CO-WR MVP), 2026 - WR - Sioux Falls Washington (SD) - 6'2" 190 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/Dveyoun11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@Dveyoun11)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We had a big-time prospect in the house as 3-star receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte joined us out of South Dakota. Dveyoun proved from start to finish why he earned his ranking and has received attention from several D1 programs. Bonwell-Witte is a bigger receiver at 6'2" and 190 pounds with solid length to go with his frame. Dveyoun stood out as a well-rounded receiver who has the size to "out-physical" his opponent at the line and catch point while also possessing the speed and agility to be a dynamic deep-threat or pick up some YAC. Strong testing portion that resulted in marks of a 4.59 40-yard dash, 4.47 shuttle drill, 9'1" broad jump, and a 7.09 L-Drill. MASSIVE steal in the 2026 cycle.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1085146' first='Austin' last='Ruhter'], 2027 - RB - Millard North (NE) - 5'8" 185 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/RuhterAustin12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@RuhterAustin12)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Millard North's [player_tooltip player_id='1085146' first='Austin' last='Ruhter'] is a player who has been biding his time waiting for his opportunity to be the feature back, and if his Stock Up performance is any indication of what's to come... get ready! Ruhter is a back who may not be the biggest on the field, but he plays with a tough, physical mindset that makes you think twice about trying to meet him in the hole. At 5'8" and 185 pounds, Ruhter has a strong, compact frame that allows him to play with low pad level and excellent balance that keeps him upright as he fights through tackles. I like his burst and decision-making in drills, which show he can quickly identify open lanes. Ruhter had some impressive numbers during the testing portion with a 4.66 40-yard dash, 4.78 shuttle drill, 9'4" broad jump, and a 7.37 shuttle drill.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1094443' first='LeAndrew' last='Lloyd'], 2027 - LB - Omaha Bryan (NE) - 6'0" 190 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/King_G_Lloyd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@King_G_Lloyd)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the sleeper LBs in the Nebraska '27 group. Omaha Bryan's [player_tooltip player_id='1094443' first='LeAndrew' last='Lloyd'] is a hardworking 'backer who is coming off a huge season where he led the Bears in tackles. LeAndrew has good size for the position at 6'0" and 190 pounds, with room to easily add some more mass to his frame. He displays solid fundamentals, starting with good footwork, smart gap play, and fluid sideline-to-sideline mobility. With this being a "non-contact" camp, we weren't able to see LeAndrew's physicality in full, but we did get a glimpse of his fiery motor in 1v1s, as he disrupted routes and used his hands effectively to break up passes at the catch point. Underrated coverage ability—can hold his own against backs and TEs. Should be a big offseason for Lloyd.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='980028' first='Cannon' last='Davis'], 2028 - QB - Bettendorf (IA) - 6'1" 190 lb - <a href="https://x.com/Cannon_Davis3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@Cannon_Davis3)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bettendorf has a pair of standouts in attendance, the first being sophomore QB [player_tooltip player_id='980028' first='Cannon' last='Davis'] who continues to show why he could be one of the top prospects in Iowa's '28 group. The more I watched Davis throughout the camp, the more his name seemed fitting given his cannon of an arm. Cannon really shined on deep passes where he showed he not only had the strength to push the ball deep, but could also deliver it with accuracy. Davis' mobility was also a strong point as he displays good footwork when executing his drops and can extend plays by rolling out of the pocket. His 4.71 shuttle drill and 7.47 L-drill were some of the best among QBs.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1198826' first='Caleb' last='Brown'], 2028 - WR - Bettendorf (IA) - 6'2" 180 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/CalebBrown_30" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@CalebBrown_30)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cannon's right-hand man at Bettendorf, receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1198826' first='Caleb' last='Brown'], was also in attendance, and he showed that the Bulldogs' future looks bright. Caleb is a taller, lengthier wideout at 6'2" and 180 pounds who does a great job maximizing his catch radius to haul in passes outside of his frame. He is a solid route runner who gets a clean release at the line of scrimmage, builds speed through his stem, and explodes out of his breaks. Even as a younger receiver facing older DBs at the showcase, Caleb showed he can match up physically and make tough catches through contact. Good speed to be a vertical threat, but can also work the underneath routes. Brown posted a 4.72 40-yard dash, 4.68 shuttle drill, 9'2" broad jump, and a 7.37 L-drill. </p>

<p><strong><em>Mikey Gow (QB MVP), 2026 - Omaha North (NE) - 6'2" 225 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/Mikeygow2308" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@Mikeygow2308)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a return to Nebraska, Mikey Gow showed up and showed out at the Stock Up showcase, earning QB MVP honors. Mikey is a bigger, stronger QB at 6'2" and 225 pounds with the arm strength to push the ball deep downfield. Part of what stood out about Mikey was his experience as one of the older QBs in attendance, which showed in the finer nuances of the position, such as footwork, timing, and how to attack DBs in 1v1s. He moves well around the pocket and has shown on the field that he can be a threat to pop out of the backfield to try to move the chains on the ground. Mikey's 4.56 shuttle drill, 8'5" broad jump, and 7.3 L-drill were some of the better numbers among QBs in attendance.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1649628' first='Emerson' last='Kreinbrink'], 2027 - OL - Northeast (IA) - 6'3" 225 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/Kreinbrink59" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@Kreinbrink59)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A bit of an eye-opening day regarding small school standout [player_tooltip player_id='1649628' first='Emerson' last='Kreinbrink'] from Northeast (IA). The Rebels' offensive lineman showed that he can hold his own against some of the top DL in attendance. Despite being on the "lighter" side, Emerson plays with a strong base that allows him to anchor when engaged with defenders, and he has a powerful leg drive that helps him push opponents off the ball. He plays with heavy hands and places them effectively to gain leverage over his opponent. Solid bend at the hips and knees to give him a sturdy base to work with.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1625847' first='Nathan' last='Hill'] (DL MVP), 2026 - DL - Lincoln Southwest (NE) - 6'1" 230 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/NathanHill47744" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@NathanHill47744)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A sleeper in the Nebraska 2026 class! Lincoln Southwest's [player_tooltip player_id='1625847' first='Nathan' last='Hill'] is a late riser who stood out at the Stock Up Showcase and was even selected as the DL MVP by the coaches. Although Nathan may fall under the "undersized" label, it's hard to overlook his effort and tenacity on the defensive line. He gets off the ball very well and is very intentional and physical with his initial punch. Hill uses his lower center of gravity to his advantage, playing with great leverage and hip power, allowing him to stand up blockers in their stance. Violent and effective with his hands. A 4.84 shuttle drill and a 7.59 L-drill </p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1649350' first='Jackson' last='Pilege'], 2029 - QB - Omaha Westside (NE) - 6'0" 165 lbs - <a href="https://x.com/PilegeJack89810" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@PilegeJack89810)</a></em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Warriors look set at QB for the 2026 season with 4-star [player_tooltip player_id='487734' first='Braylen' last='Warren'], but looking beyond that, it looks like freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1649350' first='Jackson' last='Pilege'] will be the next man up in that system. Jackson flashes solid arm talent for having only wrapped up his freshman campaign. He showed he can zip the ball into tight windows over the middle of the field and deliver it with good placement so only his receiver can get their hands on it. I look forward to seeing more from Jackson in these next few seasons.</p>
