Incoming senior Cole Friessen Cole Friessen 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB/DB Hinton | 2026 State IA is a player primed to break out this fall, with the Blackhawks losing a fair amount of production from last season. Cole ended the ’24 season second on the team in rushing yards with 757 yards and 10 touchdowns on 121 carries. Cole is a versatile runner who can use his speed and twitch to make defenders miss, while also displaying a powerful base that keeps him upright when fighting through contact. Even as a taller back, Cole does a good job keeping his pad level low, running with a forward lean that helps him drive through tackles and fall for positive yardage when defenses finally bring him down. Friessen is also dynamic as a receiver with 14 catches for 193 yards and two touchdowns, showing he can line up in the slot or be a target coming out of the backfield. I also see defensive upside with Cole after he posted 32 tackles and three interceptions (one returned for a TD). Friessen is listed as an OLB, but fits more of a nickel-type role where he can roam in coverage while still being free to break downhill when he triggers the run. Very smart and instinctive with the ball skills to go up and snag the ball for himself. Great athlete who should get looks on both sides of the ball!
