The Land of 10,000 Lakes’ and its fertile recruiting grounds are always good for some quality TE prospects. Minnesota’s class of 2028 is no different, with a wide swath of body types and talents and a particularly strong Top 5 leading the position group from the front. Watertown–Mayer is home to one of the hottest on the recruiting trail as of late in Sam Plahn Sam Plahn 6'4" | 210 lbs | TE/DL Watertown-Mayer | 2028 State MN . PRZMN already has green numbers, verified size, and a couple of strong in-person evaluation points from what was an overall strong sophomore campaign during the fall as well as the offseason.

Verified size, green testing numbers, and good length creates an intriguing frame in terms of adding weight and growing into his body from a TE point of view. Plahn owns big-time burst and overall speed from the TE position, an effective stiff-arm, and is an explosive vertical threat capable of burning CBs and SAFs alike. Plahn is also a good route runner and flashes noticeable ball skills, as he’s able to make tough catches over the middle and can track and play the ball well in the air.

Western Michigan, Iowa State, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota have all reached out with gameday invites for the coming season so far.
