<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm very excited to introduce a new <em>PrepRedzone </em>Midwest series called "Freshmen Week." As they say: "freshmen never older", and in terms of high school football recruiting that means that the enticement of the new class' potential, projection, and talent never ceases to stay captivating. Additionally, with the way college football recruiting is trending, identifying, evaluating, and predicting underclassmen to the next level is becoming more and more important, and we are seeing a significant increase in offers going out to freshmen in recent recruiting cycles. With all of that in mind, let's check out the first state we're zeroing in on for this Freshmen Week special: Wisconsin. Let's dig in and get to know 11 of the upcoming stars of the Badger State's high school football scene below, plus 11 honorable mentions making noise on Wisconsin gridirons. The future is bright! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1226901' first='Jordan' last='Garcia'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Waukesha South ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A standout multi-sport athlete in his first year at u003cemu003eWaukesha Southu003c/emu003e, quarterback u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1226901' first='Jordan' last='Garcia']u003c/strongu003e already possesses solid size at 6'1, 155 lbs. and is amid a good freshman campaign slinging the pigskin for the u003cemu003eCardinalu003c/emu003e. Currently a non-varsity starter, u003cstrongu003eGarcia u003c/strongu003ehas been showing off a solid deep ball that can stretch the field and drop the ball into the bread basket of receivers going vertical. I also like his mobility, as u003cstrongu003eGarcia u003c/strongu003edoes a good job of evading pressure while keeping his eyes downfield and allowing his receivers to improvise and get open. There's also some good reps showing ball placement to the second level of the field, and his touch is also noteworthy. If he keeps developing it spells out good things for his future as a varsity gunslinger.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["578334"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A 6', 190 lb. defensive lineman and tight end representing the talent-richu003cemu003e Oak Creeku003c/emu003e program outside of Milwaukee, u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='578334' first='Lincoln' last='Hanson'] u003c/strongu003eis coming off a distinguished youth football career and has transitioned well to the non-varsity ranks of the u003cemu003eKnightsu003c/emu003e. Primarily playing DE, u003cstrongu003eHanson u003c/strongu003eis a big hitter and comfortable and productive as a pass rusher, thanks to his active hands that he uses effectively to disengage from blockers, and he also is strong enough to hold a gap from larger OTs trying to move him off the ball. I like his motor that doesn't quit between the whistles, and he's got a good frame that is going to continue to add good weight and maintain his mobility. u003cemu003eOak Creeku003c/emu003e always has talented young bucks waiting in the ranks and u003cstrongu003eHansonu003c/strongu003e is no exception.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["719863"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"One of the handful of Racine representatives on this list of Wisconsin freshmen making noise this fall, u003cemu003eLutheran High School'su003c/emu003e 5'10, 190 lb.

So far, he's posted 69 tackles, 6 TFLs, 3 FFs, a sack, and an INT, and is the leading tackler for the u003cemu003eCrusadersu003c/emu003e and their 7-1 record so far through 2023. u003cstrongu003eYnnocenciou003c/strongu003e plays far above what his age and high school experience would suggest and is a force in the run game who has a knack for identifying and disrupting offensive game plans, particularly in run support. He's a strong kid who sends would-be blockers flying backward off a full head of steam and can easily rip the ball out of RB's hands once he makes contact, and he's physical and noticeably enjoys the contact part of the world's greatest game. u003cstrongu003eYnnocenciou003c/strongu003e is a strong tackler at the point of contact, can pursue sideline-to-sideline, and does a good job of reading his keys, flowing to the ball, and meeting RBs in the hole. He can slip under blocks or meet them with force and identifies and triggers on the ball well, which allows him to find holes in blocking schemes easily. He's fun to watch, is a powerful kid who will only get bigger and stronger, and has some of the best production in the state's freshmen class.

A WR/TE hybrid, u003cstrongu003eWozniaku003c/strongu003e has been receiving varsity reps as a kicker, primarily handling kickoffs. He also booted a 47-yard FG in a JV game. He's been averaging over 3.7 seconds of hang time on said KOs, and can easily boot the ball to the goal line and out of the end zone. As a WR, u003cstrongu003eWozniaku003c/strongu003e is strong and capable athlete for his age, and showed he can break his routes off well, slip through tackle attempts after the catch, and is a physical and willing blocker who can do damage around the LOS or on the perimeter. The 180 lber. has successfully booted at least a half dozen FGs in the JV ranks and has also kicked some punts with impressive accuracy and leg strength for his age. Can't wait to see how he continues to progress in multiple phases of the world's greatest game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1223052' first='Bryce' last='Austin'] ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Racine Lutheran ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another prolific freshman from u003cemu003eRacine Lutheran High Schoolu003c/emu003e, 5'11, 150 lb. wideout u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1223052' first='Bryce' last='Austin']u003c/strongu003e is having an impressive freshman campaign and is the u003cemu003eCrusader'su003c/emu003e leading receiver while playing a big role in u003cemu003eLutheran'su003c/emu003e 7-1 record. He's recorded 18 receptions for 473 yards (26 YPC) and 6 TDs, and done so in exciting fashion, as he demonstrates the speed to take the top off the defense and a shifty and slippery running style after the catch that can break tackles and turn routine catches into explosive gains. To emphasize his dynamic ability, u003cstrongu003eAustin u003c/strongu003ealso plays CB and has tallied 9 tackles, 3 INTs, 1 FF, and half a sack thanks to how he fires out of his breaks and has no problems enforcing the run. u003cstrongu003eAustinu003c/strongu003e also is a sudden returner who has taken a punt to the house in 2023 and also has handled kickoffs for the u003cemu003eCrusadersu003c/emu003e this fall. He'll tackle returners after kicking off as well! He has my pick for one of the best freshmen in the Badger State's budding 2027 class. Keep up the great work, u003cstrongu003eBryceu003c/strongu003e!

A force off the edge as a standup outside 'backer, u003cstrongu003eBookeru003c/strongu003e flies out of his stance, attacks blockers in the backfield, and can run down plays from the backside of the LOS thanks to his impressive closing and pursuit speed. The 210 lber. does a good job of holding and defending the edge and using leverage to keep ball carriers from getting outside of him, and he's also athletic enough to be comfortable tackling in space, as well as beat blocking attempts using quickness. u003cstrongu003eBookeru003c/strongu003e can do a ton of good things well on the gridiron and should be seeing varsity action sooner rather than later. u003cemu003ePRzWIu003c/emu003e is quite excited about his future as a college football prospect.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1039699"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cemu003eWhitewater High School'su003c/emu003e freshman QB/ATH u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1039699' first='Ty' last='Bucholtz']u003c/strongu003e is putting some good things on tape and setting himself up well for his future as a football player. Playing non-varsity football in 2023 at a slight 5'8, 140 lbs., u003cstrongu003eBucholtzu003c/strongu003e has been dynamic,  and as a testament to his athleticism has been manning the QB1 spot for u003cemu003eWhitewateru003c/emu003e in their non-varsity ranks. Mobile, tough, and at his best when on the move and improvising, u003cstrongu003eBucholtzu003c/strongu003e is also a standout WR who can create explosive plays downfield or after the catch and shows good control when high-pointing the football out of the air. Still a lot of work and development to be done, especially in the weight room, but the u003cemu003eWhitewateru003c/emu003e product is already a playmaker and an athlete who can do a lot of good things on the gridiron.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["206794"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Another Wisconsin freshman coming off a decorated youth football career, u003cemu003eHartford'su003c/emu003e u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='206794' first='Jaxon' last='Rolsma'] u003c/strongu003ebrings good size to the table as a 6'1, 215 lb. lineman and possesses one of my favorite qualities in prep football prospects: a wrestling background. A WWF state wrestling qualifier, u003cstrongu003eRolsmau003c/strongu003e has used the skills on the wrestling mat to play varsity football on the u003cemu003eOrioles u003c/emu003eoffensive line in 2023, and he fits in nicely as a varsity lineman if I do say so myself. The wrestling background shows up nicely in his good understanding of leverage, as he knows how to use opponents attacks and force against them, particularly if they get out of position, on their heels or too far extended, or are lazy with their hands. Overall controlled, strong, and agile, especially for his age, u003cstrongu003eRolsma u003c/strongu003epossesses noticeable strength for a freshman who can finish defenders, move them far out of the gap and backward, and maneuver them completely out of a play. He plays with good u0026amp; consistent pad level, is laterally agile and balanced enough to effectively pull and/or work across the LOS, and is fun to watch when he gets out in space and looks for work. I also like his solid pass set, as he blocks with a good base and active feet in pass pro, and is successful and powerful in both run and pass situations. He'll be at or near the top of the upcoming u003cemu003ePRzWIu003c/emu003e 2027 rankings, especially given the tradition Wisconsin has at producing top-tier collegiate OL prospects.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1226955' first='Cohen' last='Kraus'] ","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"Racine Lutheran ","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_8_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cemu003eRacine Lutheranu003c/emu003e is a must-stop when talking stud Wisconsin freshmen, and a lot of their 7-1 success so far in 2023 has to do with their electric freshman gunslinger in 5'10 u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1226955' first='Cohen' last='Kraus']u003c/strongu003e.

He's very impressive when pulling and working out into space and is a controlled, athletic, and aggressive lead blocker who moves and runs like he's 50 pounds lighter, which also helps him when working to the second level of a defense, where he is more than capable of handling LBs and DBs thanks to his balance, control, and patience. u003cstrongu003eHarrisu003c/strongu003e' strength shows up in his great leg drive once he's engaged with an opponent, and he displays the strength to run defenders 15+ yards downfield like they're a JV opponent.

I'm very excited to introduce a new PrepRedzone Midwest series called "Freshmen Week." As they say: "freshmen never older", and in terms of high school football recruiting that means that the enticement of the new class' potential, projection, and talent never ceases to stay captivating. Additionally, with the way college football recruiting is trending, identifying, evaluating, and predicting underclassmen to the next level is becoming more and more important, and we are seeing a significant increase in offers going out to freshmen in recent recruiting cycles. With all of that in mind, let's check out the first state we're zeroing in on for this Freshmen Week special: Wisconsin. Let's dig in and get to know 11 of the upcoming stars of the Badger State's high school football scene below, plus 11 honorable mentions making noise on Wisconsin gridirons. The future is bright!
