Prep Redzone Iowa has continued preparations for it by rifling through student-athletes' highlight videos and churning out evaluations.   If you don't yet have highlights on your Hudl page, interested college coaches will be looking for them on there and elsewhere. Ask for help if you need it in compiling a video with any clips you have.   Here's another batch of fresh reports:    Hansen contributed in multiple phases for West Fork in 2025. The junior handled the team's quarterbacking duties, completing almost 62 percent of his throws for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for a pair of scores and caught a pass. Hansen handled place kicking responsibilities, knocking through a 32-yard field goal, and was the squad's top punter. He's interesting as a quarterback prospect, as we can witness when watching highlights from last season in his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19442330/Zander-Hansen/highlights" id="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19442330/Zander-Hansen/highlights">Hudl page</a>. Hansen moves well and throws accurately when doing so. He keeps his eyes downfield when rolling out or moving the pocket. Speed and elusiveness help him pick up yards on the ground on designed runs and when a play breaks down. A multi-sport athlete, Hansen's natural gifts also would work at other positions, including receiver and defensive back.     Ross produced throughout the 2025 season at Norwalk. The junior piled up 54.0 tackles, including 51 solo stops. Big plays weren't a problem, either, as he registered 7.0 tackles for loss and picked off a pair of passes. Ross lists his positions as linebacker and free safety, and we can see why when we watch his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19508570/69042d218b3e5d221471f17e" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19508570/69042d218b3e5d221471f17e">11th-grade highlight video</a>. Norwalk lines him up well outside at linebacker and at slot corner. He reads and reacts quickly, getting downhill fast against the run and smoothly dropping into coverage. Ross is fluid, changing directions easily and closing on the ball when it's thrown in his direction. A technically sound tackler, he squares up the ball carrier and takes good angles. Ross would be a special teams' asset to programs on the next level.     Jeppesen impacted games in all three phases as a Riverside junior in 2025. A first-team all-district receiver, he hauled in 26 balls for 461 yards and six touchdowns, and added 69 yards and a pair of scores on the ground along with a couple two-point conversions. Jeppesen collected 25.5 tackles, 19 of which were solo stops. He intercepted six passes, returning one of them to the house. Jeppesen averaged 18.9 yards on 11 kick returns and 15.7 yards on three punt returns. He also handled the team's kickoff duties. Jeppesen flashes his broad base of skills and athletic talents throughout his 11th-grade highlight video. On the first clip, he goes in motion across the formation, adjusts to an under-thrown ball, makes a few guys miss and sprints into the end zone for a touchdown. He lines up at corner in a zone, reads the quarterback and breaks on the throw for a diving interception on Play 2. Jeppesen is a playmaker with speed and quickness. He could project at multiple positions on the next level.     Hudson chipped in all around the field for Pocahontas Area as a junior last fall. He registered 21.5 tackles, 15 of which were solo stops. Hudson also intercepted a throw. He caught eight balls for 107 yards, and averaged 14.0 yards on five kick returns. Hudson's 11th-grade highlights on his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/21586893/Brayden-Hudson/highlights" id="https://www.hudl.com/profile/21586893/Brayden-Hudson/highlights">Hudl page</a> reveal a player with a well-rounded set of traits that work on both sides of the ball. He's a versatile receiver capable of delivering on underneath routes, where he can use his quickness, or down the field where he adjusts well to the ball in the air and sells his routes. On defense, he shows lateral quickness, straight-line speed and smooth actions in coverage. Hudson is a guy whose skills work well on special teams, too.     Treynor received production from Casey on both sides of the ball last season. The junior caught 36 passes for 398 yards and six touchdowns, while adding nine yards on the ground. He intercepted a pass on defense. When we view Casey's 11th-grade highlight video, there's a long-limbed receiver that can win contested throws and high-point the ball. He's fast in a straight line, threatening to stretch the field on any snap. Casey's height helps win balls in close quarters, and agility aids him in making defenders miss in space. He's a clean route runner, getting in and out of his breaks quickly, selling fakes and putting opponents on their heals. It's a set of skills that work on defense at linebacker or in the secondary, and also make him a productive player on special teams.
