Westman has proven to be one of the most complete skill players in Class 3A and a matchup problem every Friday night. At 6’3”, 210 pounds, he brings rare physical maturity, combining strength, balance, and smooth athleticism. Westman uses his frame to shield defenders, tracks the football naturally, and times his jumps with precision. He wins with physicality, controls space at the catch point, and finishes through contact. His sharp route running creates separation on intermediate breaks, making him a reliable target on critical downs. He is also a dangerous punt returner, showing excellent field vision, quick acceleration, and balance through traffic. On defense, his length and instincts could help steady a secondary, though his offensive ceiling continues to draw the most attention. Westman received an offer from Bemidji State University last week. He’s earned such attention and should continue to receive it.

One of Annandale’s biggest impact players on all three levels on Friday night came from the performance of 2026 target Gabe Westman Gabe Westman 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR Annandale | 2026 State MN . I’ve evaluated Gabe as a wide receiver in the past, but what he was able to do defensively and in the return game gave him a higher mark as more of an athlete when it comes to the next-level as college coaches should love the position flexibility they could have with Gabe. The 6’4 200 pounder was more rangy than I expected to see with his movement as a defensive back and I loved his instincts on both sides of the ball as you could tell why he has muliple offers as he has a sound football IQ. Probably one of the best 1v1 wide receivers that is still out there in this 2026 Minnesota class in the state for sure and especially the Outstate. Twitter

There are not too many Minnesota WRs at 6’4 200 pounds that have the quick twitch and great hands in high traffic areas like Gabe Westman Gabe Westman 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR Annandale | 2026 State MN from Annandale brings out on his first look on tape. It also does not take long to see the athletic vertical Gabe possesses as you can see his athleticism pop out full circle on back to back reps. He even showed off more agile movement on his cuts than I was expecting to see with his size, as a three sport athlete out of Annandale that should have himself a sound summer at camps.
