The 6'3 260 pounder, is a mauler that shows off quickly that he can move DLs into the next area code with his leverage and shows it right away on tape. Just off the eye-test alone, you can tell from a footwork perspective that Ben is beyond his years as far as what looks like a Division 1 offensive linemen in my eyes. Just took a game day visit to Iowa this past weekend and I would be remissed if that is the last one he is taking any time soon at the Division 1 FBS level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1703841"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2a6d3906e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most elusive ball carriers we've seen thus far on tape in this 2029 class, has been Omaha Westview's [player_tooltip player_id='1703841' first='Armand' last='Jones']. The speed really amps up into the second level and into the open field which guns quickly into the end zone for six. Not only is Armand really twitch between the tackles, he's more durable between the tackles than he gets credit for. Surely is a top-tier back in this 2029 class thus far showing what he's got early in the 2026 season for the Wolverines rushing attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2139506"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2a6d390708"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'5 185 pounder from Lincoln East one very few QB1s that Class A has to offer, so the value I have in those early reps as a sophomore weigh higher into his future progression. Thaddeus shows off live arm that offers a quick release that he's showed off quickly thus far to start the season. For his age, he gives his wide receivers plenty of opportunity to catch and release downfield especially with the intermediate routes he likes to throw on consistently. The quarterback position in this 2029 class has a lot of wait and see prospects that haven't got their firist looks yet, but as of right now Thaddeus is towards the front as a favorite in this early class to play at the next-level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646428"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2a6d390729"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now standing at 6'2 180 pounds, Bergan Catholic 2029 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1646428' first='Carter' last='Vrana'] is one that has had some impressive games thus far to start his sophomore season. The mobily Carter can creat outside of the pocket at that size caught my attention in his eval as he moves more like a running back outside of the pocket with his elusiveness getting out of a jam and creating yards from the run. He has a big arm that can unload downfield with sound accuracy for his age. Just last week he unloaded for four passing touchdowns with 313 total yards in a 49-7 win over Norfolk Catholic. He's one that looks very poised for age and can turn a nothing into something plays with how calm he appears to be. Surely a 2029 quarterback that I have a next-level grade on already on this class that surely going to be stockriser from the 2029 watchlist onto the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065484"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab2a6d390748"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keegan has added a ton of size and frrame since we last updated his measurables as the Omaha North 2029 tight end is now playing at 6'4 225 pounds and shows every ounce of it when you watch his midseason tape. He's a thrashing run-blocker that is one of the best blocking tight ends I have seen in this class thus far that knows how to utilize his hands while gaining leverage and using his strength to win the 1v1 battles in the trenches. He has a worksmen work ethic from what I have seen from the early weeks that when he's not assisting the run game, he shows that he's like trying to tackle a bull when he gets downhill. Surely a 2029 tight end to keep a close eye on that I have a next-level grade out of this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We took a look this morning at the 2029 class across Nebraska with prospects that we feel early are showing that they play on Saturdays for their play on Friday nights thus far this fall. We took a look a handful of midseason tapes and surely these are prospects that will be coming off our watchlist moving to the rankings here very soon.
