Five 2027s Deserving of Their First D1 Offer – Offense Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Five offensive players in the state of Iowa that are worth an offer from a Division I program but haven't received one yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2004458"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698f6403cb7ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Followers of PrepRedzone Iowa know that [player_tooltip player_id='2004458' first='Blake' last='Dorenkamp'] is one of the top prospects that popped up on my radar this fall. A hard-hitting back with a high-motor, Dorenkamp can serve as a between-the-tackles runner while also bouncing it to the outside to make plays in space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A favorite of mine in this class, Dorenkamp is more than worthy of a Division I offer after serving as Valley's bell cow back and taking 191 carries for 997 yards and 12 scores. He also caught 22 passes for 206 yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1925483"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698f6403cb81c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another favorite prospect of mine that likely gets overlooked because of the Class he plays in, [player_tooltip player_id='1925483' first='Braylon' last='Lopez'] is a speedster and a playmaker in every sense of the word. As a running back, receiver, return man and defensive back, Lopez did just about everything for one of the best small school programs in northwest Iowa, leading the Falcons to yet another appearance in the UNI-Dome last fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All-in-all, Lopez took 152 carries for 1,336 yards and 13 scores, caught 43 receptions for 756 yards and six touchdowns, finished with 30 tackles and two picks and returned five kicks for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Put all of that together, and Lopez finished fifth in all classes with 2,401 all-purpose yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's just production, flat-out. D1 programs shouldn't over think this one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197479"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698f6403cb867"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grabbing 58 receptions for 987 yards and ten scores, Storm Lake's [player_tooltip player_id='1197479' first='David' last='William'] was one of the most productive receivers in all of 4A this fall, and he was certainly the best junior in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-foot-2 and 170-pounds, William has some room to grow, but his ball skills and length make for a difficult matchup for any DB in northwest Iowa. A key piece on Storm Lake's basketball squad that's vying for a state title, William is a multi-sport star that will only benefit from being in a college developmental program. Only holding an offer from Northwestern College in Orange City, the Red Raiders would hit a grand slam if they're able to nab him from the D1 ranks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207820"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698f6403cb8aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watching [player_tooltip player_id='1207820' first='Noah' last='White'] plow through opposing defensive lines this fall for the dynastic Southeast Polk program that has sent a plethora of offensive linemen to the next level, it was easy to tell that he belongs playing Division I ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As stated when White was named to the<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/all-state-teams-iowa-class-5a-offense/"> 5A All-State</a> squad by PRZIA, the junior is "a smart, solid offensive lineman. Technically sound, keeping his head up and his feet driving, White is an OL anybody at the 5A level would love to have. Versatile with reps at left tackle, left guard and center this season, he's only going to get bigger, stronger and better."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That type of versatility and size should be a calling card for a variety of programs, looking like he could step in and play guard already at the FCS level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617665"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-698f6403cb8ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yet another monstrous offensive lineman, [player_tooltip player_id='1617665' first='Bubba' last='Donald'] of Cedar Rapids Prairie is as intimidating as they come on 5A offensive lines. Like a few other offensive linemen that fall into this category, Donald's size should almost be enough to get him a spot on a Division I roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holding down the left tackle spot on what is one of the more talented offensive lines in the state, Donald will need to continue to add strength and foot-speed if he's going to reach his potential in college, but the physical tools are absolutely there, and he's receiving excellent coaching from Prairie's Kyle Knock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
