Caleb Walker | Papillion La-Vista | RB/K | 5’ 11″ 165 lbs | Class of 2022
Caleb, in my opinion, was the toughest running back on the field. He ran hard through contact and provided a nice 1-2 punch combo with Payton Prestito, who is a solid running back. Caleb also handled the kicking game for the Monarchs. I watched him during warmups, he has plenty of leg power to bang them through from 40+ and his kickoffs were landing at the 10-yard line and in. Add his leg strength to his lack of fear of contact and you have the potential for one fearless kicker.
Hunter Foral Hunter Foral 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Papillion - La Vista | 2022 State NE | Papillion La-Vista | G/MLB | 6’ 3″ 230 lbs | Class of 2022
Hunter was a sideline to sideline menace tonight. It seemed as though he was involved in every tackle in the 1st quarter, including a strip on a tackle for a loss. Hunter has good size for an LB and spent a lot of time in Bellevue East’s backfield. He has a knack for diagnosing plays, then bursting to the ball through any crack in the offense. Hunter can use his strength to fight off blockers at the line of scrimmage to make tackles.

Luke Lindermeyer | Papillion La-Vista | TE/DE | 6’4″ 250 lbs | Class of 2022
Luke is a grown man! He can be a very good TE at the next level. He has 4.79 40yd dash speed but blocks like an offensive lineman. He has soft hands that can easily catch and allow for quick motions. He’s even got a little wiggle to him for a big man. Luke might be a diamond in the rough but has had invites from Iowa and Nebraska recently.

Gavin Zurcher Gavin Zurcher 5'9" | 175 lbs | RB Bellevue East | 2022 State NE | Bellevue East | RB/DB | 5’8″ 180 lbs | Class of 2022
Gavin was the best player on the field for Bellevue East tonight. His size can keep him hidden behind the line but once he hits the second level of defenses, he has breakaway speed. He is a decent receiving running back and also serves on kick return duty on occasion. His athleticism allows him to compete in multiple sports.

Brett Barton | Bellevue East | K/P/WR | 5’7″ 125 lbs | Class of 2022
Brett did a good job pushing back Papillion La-Vista when given the opportunity. He showed a decent leg averaging over 40 yds a punt. Brett is averaging over 50 yds on his kickoffs for the year as well. His punts had good hang time and always seemed to take friendly rolls which can be an art for a good punter.
2 to keep an eye out for in the future:
Mikey Gow | Bellevue East | QB | 6’1″ 170 lbs | Class of 2025
Mikey had a rough night but you could see flashes of arm strength. He never displayed any signs of frustration and stuck with the game plan to try to make plays. His inexperience showed on some throws and his size is kind of slight right now but as he develops, you can tell there is a reason he is getting invites to places like Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma St. You can tell he has the desire to do great things and we should probably expect it in years to come.

Brock Rahl | Papillion La-Vista | QB | 6’ 2″ 165 lbs | Class of 2024
Brock has little to no tape on him. Brock was put in the game due to the score and managed a touchdown drive with a beautiful pass to the sideline, with a great toe-tap catch by the WR. He also showed a lot of mobility after being flushed out of the pocket. Has good speed and seems to have a spark about him that generates energy. Brock could be the future for the Monarchs at that position and with development in body and skill, might have a bright future.
