USF Prospect Camp: Nate’s Standouts, Part I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SIOUX FALLS, SD</strong>--- Camp season may be near over in over two weeks, but that won't stop us from telling you who popped out at every camp we were in attendance. Our next stop takes to USF, as we were excited to Camp with the Coo for the first time in our era of Prep Redzone as head coach Jim Glogowski was kind enough to have us out. The Cougars had an all-time high, having over 150 kids in attendance a couple Saturdays ago. We start here with 14 of those athletes in attendance and stay tuned for more standouts from the Coo in the next 24 hours. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='848948' first='Quinton' last='Hall'], DB, Sioux Falls Washington, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Quinton_Hall23">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1331165,"width":"311px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/IMG_1291-rotated-crop-481x316-1720818229.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1331165" style="width:311px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quinton is one that looked more polished with his technique at the USF Camp as I saw also his growing change of direction, which has kicked up a notch since our last live-eval. Clocked a 4.58 in his pro agility, and has grown out his frame since last time too. He showed off an improved ball-tracking ability too as the wide receivers window of opportunity while Quinton was on him, was very low. A 2026 that I look forward to getting the junior tape to see even better development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Antonio Ledbetter, DL, Brandon Valley, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/AntonioLed89350">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Antonio is a new name to my radar that showed off some raw, but growing skillsets as another 2026 prospects that stood out at the USF prospect camp. Impressed me in his first look with his fluidity for his 6'0 235 pound frame. Looked even better during Indy reps, showing off some explosive hips with his first step and good pursuit angles with his body and that same fluidity caught my eyes further. A new name to know out of Brandon Valley in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Owen Vinje Stark, DB, Sartell, MN 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owen was a defensive back that despite being undersized, flashed some of his skillsets well at USF. He certainly shows to be very agile, but has the upside too to grow his footwork. Owen was one I wished I caught more reps on later in camp, as he shows off as a cornerback that plays fearless with his physical hands and quick strided ball tracking. Owen would be a great fit in the MIAC or WIAC in my eyes as a hard-hitter on every play hail from Sartell.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Logan Johnson, WR, Mounds View, MN 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/LoganJ_MV">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I enjoyed watching the instincts come out for Mounds View wide receiver Logan Johnson at the USF camp. He showed off an impressive broad jump and watching his footwork, you could engage he is a WR prospect that appeared technicially sound in Sioux Falls. At 6'0 180 pounds, Logan is not the biggest WR ever but the catch radius and hands are very solid in my eyes especially on routes that he has to improvise. Everything you see on tape from Logan shows off a lot of balance, as a WR prospect that offer #1 has not come in yet for this incoming senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1280955' first='Luke' last='Anderson'], QB, Ankeny, IA 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/andersonluke07">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke was a quarterback prospect out of powerhouse Ankeny High outside of Des Moines, that put together a nice showing as a probable next-level quarterback. I thought Luke's mechanics were well-rounded in watching him throw and I also was intrigued with the overall athleticism that occured to me earlier in testing for this 6'0 180 pounder which verifies what the strength and conditioning team at Ankeny has posted on Twitter, as Luke runs a .93 on the flying 10 and carries a 73.5 inch wingspan. Showed off his best stuff in Sioux Falls on intermediate routes as the quick release he shows was nice to watch and his great arm strength he has even has some further upside. I would like to see a D2 school get in the mix for Luke as I think the upside is certainly there at the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='848975' first='Shane' last='Veenhof'], WR, Madison, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Shane_Veenhof">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1331163,"width":"318px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/05/IMG_0938-rotated-crop-481x316-1720818150.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1331163" style="width:318px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not too many SD 2026s have had the all summer standout performance that [player_tooltip player_id='848975' first='Shane' last='Veenhof'] of Madison has had. He caught my eyes and the eyes of our PRZ Nebraska scouts as we both felt he was easily the best 2026 WRs at the USF Camp, and would even say that regardless of class as well. Shane just gotten so much more twitch in his frame and easily has the best hands in the Dakotas from my eyes in that 2026 class. Shane shows off a way bigger catch radius too for his size and is an open field problem to secondaries that if you don't catch him early, he will zoom around you and get to the end zone. The more I watched Shane this summer the more I believe he will be an early offer kid out of this 2026 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Sabas DeHaan, DB, Tripp-Delmont/Armour/Andes Central/Dakota Christian, SD 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A new 2025 name from TDAACDC that showed off some good skillsets in Sioux Falls was Sabas DeHaan. Watching Sabas, I was impressed how springy he was with his overall athletic movement, as he gives off a prospect that likely runs track too. The 5'9 160 pounder showed the straight line speed he had as he recorded a 2.76 and I thought his change of direction on tape, popped out more than his testing number shows you with the game speed he plays at. I think Sabas would be a great fit in the GPAC especially amongst the South Dakota programs in that conference. Like the upside for Sabas as a defensive back for sure in that league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Dominic Schmitz, ATH, MOC-Floyd Valley, IA 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/domschm_15">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominic is another under the radar prospect out of Iowa on our camp standout list from the USF camp. Was quite impressed with his how consistent his testing numbers were across the board, as he was for a 2.67 in the 20-yard sprint, 9 foot on the broad jump, and 4.63 in the pro agility and came in with better measurables that shows on Hudl. Everything I saw with his athleticism puts out like you want it on tape, and I think with a great senior season, Dominic will get himself some more local opportunities, as there is too much first level speed at this kid's disposal to not be on a college football roster next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1003934' first='Drake' last='Jellema'], DB, Brandon Valley, SD 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/drakejellema">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1331162,"width":"325px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/IMG_1299-rotated-crop-481x316-1720818094.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1331162" style="width:325px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Drake has shown all summer during camp season, as the biggest stockriser amongst South Dakota 2025 defensive backs, and will get a big rankings bump due to his performances we have been around and seen. Drake caught my eyes even further at USF showing off how much range this young man can cover and is one that just aces the eye test with his fluidity when he gets to the ball as in 1v1s Drake showed off just excellent footwork in front of my eyes. He was in every single WRs pocket during the 1v1s I watched out of Drake as one that will be certainly be making a program happy in the NSIC or RMAC real soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1280029' first='Keegan' last='Groat'], DB, Humboldt, IA 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/keegangroat">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1331170,"width":"329px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/03/Keegan-Groat-2-crop-946x622-1710431762-crop-640x421-1720818339.jpg?w=639" alt="" class="wp-image-1331170" style="width:329px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: [player_tooltip player_id='1280029' first='Keegan' last='Groat'] <a href="https://twitter.com/keegangroat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I do not do our Iowa 2025 rankings, but I will be letting our team know for sure that Humboldt defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1280029' first='Keegan' last='Groat'] needs a bump, as this kid has had a great summer, and picked up his first Division II offer after his performance at camp with the Coo. In the reps I watched of Keegan for the second time this summer, he showed off that stingy too the ball instincts and shows off the vision you want in your secondary. Long arms, large coverage area and a 6'1 195 pound frame which is a perfect match for a strong safety at the next level. Keegan would be a great fit running with the Coo in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278885' first='Caden' last='Henkes'], RB/WR, Ankeny, IA 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/cadennhenkes">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the biggest athletic specimen at the USF prospect camp was Ankeny RB/WR [player_tooltip player_id='1278885' first='Caden' last='Henkes']. Went 34.5 with his vertical, 2.74 in the 20-yard sprint, 4.38 in the pro agility all at nearly 6'1 180 pounds. Caden showed off a quick release off his get-away burst which with that length in the backfield can seperate from the defender quickly. As you could guess, the change of direction watching Caden looked very instinctive. Great hands as well coming out of the backfield. Watching a quick glimpse of the tape, I have very surprised how under-recruited Caden is at the Division II level, as he has some offers but how he looked at USF, he should get more attention soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>More Standouts from Part I at the USF Camp:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Parker Dutzle, RB, Elk Mound, WI 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/parker_dutzle">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Beaudree Ball, QB, Lincoln Northstar, NE 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Beaudree13">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Gavin Gall, WR, St. Cloud Tech, MN 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/gavin_gall11">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
