Wisconsin’s Top-8 Standout 2022s: Division 4

Yesterday, as I was combing through the Hudl accounts of every Division 4 school in Wiscsonin for the Preseason All-State team, it once again became to apparent to <em>PrepRedzoneWI </em>that there is a lot of exciting talent in the class of 2022. With only a limited amount of spots available on the Preseason All-State list, there were a lot of studs left off the list that deserved some recognition. Let’s take a look at the 10 of the finest of these standout 2022s that are set to make a big impact in D4’s various conferences, and were not selected to the Preseason All-State team. There’s also a watchlist with other identified rising juniors in the Division. A lot of these guys will find themselves on more than a fair share of awards list here soon! Thanks for reading. <strong>Nate Fogo</strong> (<em>Richland Center</em>) OLB/TE. 6’2, 200 lbs. @NateFogo Did a good job of reading the QB's eyes and inserting himself in passing lane to bat down balls last year. Showed a proficiency in coverage and had a couple good, strong tackles on his sophomore tape. Also athletic enough to help <em>Richland Center </em>in the passing game. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Dpxer">Sophomore Year</a> [player_tooltip player_id="31264" first="<strong>Zander</strong>" last="<strong>Rathke</strong>"] (<em>Altoona</em>) 6’4, 230 lbs. @ZanderRathke04 Thicker defensive lineman for his 230 lb. frame with a good motor and is a crushing tackler. Strong run defender. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2CBnaz">Sophomore Season</a> [player_tooltip player_id="31342" first="<strong>Robby</strong>" last="<strong>Michael</strong>"] (<em>KLC</em>) QB. 5'11, 170 lbs. @robbymichael15  2019 First Team All-Conference. Threw for 2,240 yards and rushed for 667 yards. Responsible for 34 TDs. It's hard not to get excited to when watching <strong>Michael's </strong>film. Clean footwork, strong arm, and drops the deep ball right on the money and in the bread basket. Can hit receivers in stride and keeps his cool if things become a mess in the backfield. Effective with his feet but is a throw-first QB.  <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11291394/5d9e7e0f04286810a4ccc39e">Sophomore SZN</a> <strong>Kenny Satori</strong> (<em>Denmark</em>) RB/RB/LB. 6’2, 210 lbs. @KennySatori 2019 All-Conference HM as RB. Totaled 30 carries for 212 yards and 25 receptions for 334 yards. Also had 62 tackles on defense. Team captain as a sophomore. Has a lot of room to fill out on his 6'2 frame still. Good speed and is a threat as a WR or a RB. Good vision and shows some strength in lead blocking from the FB position. Also has good vision and is an efficient North-South runner. Going to be a very good upperclassman.  <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2CGbPC">Sophomore Season</a> <strong>Basil Demco</strong> (<em>Big Foot</em>) QB/DB. 6'0, 170 lbs. GPA 3.43. @demco_a In 2019 threw for 1,142 yards and 14 TDs with a 47% completion percentage. Also added 108 yards rushing. Smooth release and throws a pretty ball. Can squeeze the ball into tight windows and makes some impressive throws for a high school QB. Mobile and hit receivers while on the run. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/11620014/5ea74e3a90f05608508e72f0">Sophomore Highlights</a> <strong>Jacob Buck</strong> (<em>Kettle Moraine Lutheran)</em> LB/WR. 6’2, 195 lbs. Versatile player who helped his squad at the WR, TE, and LB positions in 2019. Technically sound tackler. Skinny for his 190-200 lb. frame. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2CtrXa">Sophomore Year</a> <strong>Zach Gloudeman</strong> (<em>River Valley</em>) RB/LB. 6’2, 210 lbs. 2019 First Team All-Conference RB. Extremely strong runner with a crazy first play on his highlight tape. Shifty with good feet and absolutely fills out his 210 lb. frame well. Even watching his tape right now I feel kind of regretful I didn't name him Preseason All-State, as he's a really powerful running back who made a ton of big plays for <em>River Valley </em>last year. I really like his patience, acceleration, and vision as well. Can run through you or around you. College coaches should check this man out!! <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2DVTfn">2019 Season</a> <strong>Joey Nerat</strong> (<em>Campbellsport</em>) DB/ATH. 5’11, 170 lbs. @JoeyNerat12 51 tackles in 2019 in 7 games. Played in the box a lot as a sophomore and was an effective tackler who can fly around in the run or pass game. Showed adequate deep safety skills as well and has a decent break on the ball and decent footwork. Strong for his size and makes you feel him when he hits you. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2CT9vn">Sophomore Season</a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Others to Watch</span> <strong>Aiden Russell</strong> (<em>Prescott</em>) WR/DB. 6’1, 175 lbs. <strong>Clayton Remington</strong> (<em>Northwestern</em>) 6', 150 lbs. <strong>Austin Schlies</strong> (<em>Northwestern</em>) 6’, 200 lbs. <strong>Colton Schodrow</strong> (<em>Campbellsport</em>) 6’, 220 lbs. <strong>Brady Malkow</strong> <em>(Brodhead/Juda</em>) WR. 6’3, 190 lbs. <strong>Cole Hoesly</strong> (<em>Brodhead/Juda</em>) QB/P. 6’5, 170 lbs. <strong>Tyler Youngbauer</strong> (<em>Winneconne</em>) QB. 6'2, 185 lbs. <strong>Bryson Clarson</strong> (<em>Richland Center</em>) 6’2, 180 lbs. <strong>Owen Novitski</strong> (<em>Wrightstown</em>) DL. 6'0, 200 lbs. <strong>Lucas Heyroth</strong> (<em>Lodi</em>) RB. 6'1, 170 lbs. <strong>Martius Bautista</strong> (<em>Edgewood</em>) 5’11, 205 lbs. <strong>Anthony Kujawa</strong> <em>(Adams-Friendship</em>) DE. <strong>Jimmy Keller</strong> (<em>Winneconne</em>) 5’10, 190 lbs.
