Nolan Loe Nolan Loe 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB/QB Marshfield | 2028 MO from Marshfield high school has 76 tackles, 11 TFL’s and 2 sacks.

Loe is probably the most athletic out of this list of defenders in this article. Last year Loe’s season was cut a bit short with a knee injury, he worked his tail off and got his knee right in the off season and now he’s one of the best linebackers not only in the region but the state of Missouri. I’m so impressed by his resiliency to get his head right along with his body and he has registered a fantastic season thus far in 2026. Loe’s IQ is off the charts he knows exactly where to be and when he meets the ball carrier they usually go straight to the turf. Not only is he a great defensive player, but the kid also can step under center and grab you some valuable snaps at quarterback.

Loe continues to impress me and impress everyone else around him.
