Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
We’re going on a Mankato West streak of New Additions now, and coming in as the highest ranked Scarlets 2025er is 6’3, 225 lb. DE Denim Blackstad Denim Blackstad 6'3" | 225 lbs | DL Mankato West | 2025 State MN . Currently our #35 overall ranked recruit and #8 ranked DL, Blackstad was recently contacted by North Dakota State, and for good reason to, as he’s a 5T with a little bit of length and a lean frame capable of adding a ton more good weight, and he opens his sophomore highlights with a crushing sack on a Rochester Mayo QB that I’m sure was felt the next day by the poor signal-caller. I like his hand usage, as he’s heavy-handed and uses it well to toss OL aside, as well as effectively counter blockers and beat them with his work rate/motor. He’s also agile enough to execute stunts and twists, assignment-sound and patient at reading and reacting to offensive plays, and can tackle, redirect, pursue, and chase down ball carriers in space. Blackstad is also a crushing tackler when he gets ahold of a ballcarrier. Lots to like his in still-growing frame that contributed enormously to the 5A heavyweight Mankato West last fall.
