As of right now, Alexandria’s Adrian Miles Adrian Miles 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Alexandria | 2028 State MN is the single biggest recruiting riser out of the Minnesota 2028 class this season. PRZMN crossed paths with Miles this past summer at North Dakota’s first prospect camp of the summer, and we are happy to report that the size is legit. Miles is a big kid with more room to grow and fill, but in a OL/DL group at UND that was very senior-heavy, and a group with legit chances to earn offers, we didn’t get enough of a look at Miles as we ideally would have liked to, especially given his elite track and field numbers, namely his 60’9.25″ shot put and 188’9″ discus PRs from the spring.

This makes the blow-up a little less surprising, but Miles still came into the fall with zero offers, and the Alexandria product earned his first offer in September after South Dakota State reached out, which generated North Dakota State and Minnesota gameday invites, and a visit to Fargo on Oct. 17 led to an FBS offer from the Bison.

In his most recent film, including against Armstrong, the 3T can single-handedly shut down a play, especially in run defense. Get off, hand strength and usage, and the ability to quickly shed 1v1 blocks and tackle behind the LOS are huge asset from the interior of the defensive line. Miles is a big, physical, can’t-miss presence on tape and a lean body, but with a large chest and broad shoulders, not to mention a crushing run blocker from the offensive center spot on the OL.

Verus Elk River, Miles, shows off a really impressive base and balance through Elk River’s cut block-heavy, tsunami of forward momentum offensive line, and he has a couple of good reps of him shocking, shedding, sniffing out the rock, and tackling. Must-know name in the state’s 2028 class and recruiting board, especially for Golden Gopher and Missouri Valley fans.

Alexandria is home to arguably the state’s biggest recruiting narrative from the developing 2026 season. The Cardinals, who have one of the bigger and badder OL/DL rooms in the state this fall, saw their star junior DL Adrian Miles Adrian Miles 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Alexandria | 2028 State MN earn his first college offer from South Dakota State following an unofficial gameday visit to Brookings on Sep 26. The Jacks, amongst other things, have to appreciate Miles‘ elite size/strength/power that manifests in his eye-popping throwing PRs during last spring’s outdoor track and field season, which saw Miles‘ PR with a 60’9.25″ shot put and 188’9″ discus.

Playing OC, OG, and DT this season, Miles is straight-up mauling opponents at the point of attack. Miles‘ physically dominant strength and play style helped him run a significant number of defenders out of the club and nearly off the screen in some of his consolidated game highlights from the midseason point. He flashes a powerful and balanced base that absorbs, stays upright, and works through single- and double-team attempts with impressive ease. He owns heavy hands, flashes good twitch for his size, and is a bruising, nasty finisher that makes DL feel his whole weight when he gets them on the turf. Miles even made a tackle against Monticello that saw him wrap up the ball carrier in the backfield WITH the OL pressed between the two players, just due to how easily Miles got him going backward and out of control. North Dakota State and Minnesota reached out with gameday invites shortly after the offer went public on Miles’ X account.

Alexandria is home to some serious beef going into 2026, and no Cardinal is more on our radar than Adrian Miles Adrian Miles 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Alexandria | 2028 State MN . The 2028 DL is a no-brainer D1 track & field prospect in the shot put and discus, PRing with a 60’925″ shot put toss and 188’9″ discus throw to cement himself as one of the best throwers in the entire Midwest, regardless of class. We saw Miles live and in the flesh at one of North Dakota’s prospect camps from the Summer Camp SZN, and he passes the Eye Test with flying colors and shows some noticeable juice as a pass rusher with verified size and ridiculous power backing him. It looked like the camp environment was somewhat new to Miles, so he didn’t work in and get as many reps as I would have liked, but he looked good when he came up to rep and I’m sure it was a valuable experience for the young 2028 DL prospect.

Miles‘ sophomore tape displayed some seriously light feet, active and effective hand usage, and bend/pad level, but a step forward in the film department will be a big plus for Miles, as I’m sure there’s some big-time eyes watching. This kid is the real-deal athletic wise, that’s forsure.

A potential superstar in the recently-updated 2028 class rankings, Alexandria’s Adrian Miles Adrian Miles 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Alexandria | 2028 State MN has put up the biggest, best, and most significant throwing numbers of any Minnesotan this spring outdoor season. We’ve seen verified track & field times, particularly with throwing, significantly catapult the stock Minnesota prep football prospects upwards in recent cycles, with Wayzata’s Eli Diane Eli Diane 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL Wayzata | 2027 State MN and Forest Lake’s Howie Johnson being perfect examples, but Miles has somehow bested those aforementioned studs’ shot put and discus PRs this outdoor season as a young sophomore!

Coming in at a reported 6’4, 250+, Miles has produced a shocking 60’5.25″ shot put on April 28th at the Alexandria Relays for a school record, which is linked below. He then followed it up with a 185’0″ discus on May 12th at the B Lohrman Invite, making them the top throws in their event in Minnesota this spring (I believe). The power, balance, flexibility, and explosiveness involved in high level track and field throws strongly correlates to college football success, so Midwest, nay, national OL/DL collegiate coaches should be reaching out to this young man, especially with the Land of 10K Lakes’ tradition of front-seven products.

Miles, who primarily plays 3T for the 5A heavyweight Cardinals, posted 38 tackles, 6 TFLs, 1 sack in 2025 for 9-2 Alexandria in 2025, and the 250+ lber. looks bendy and flexible at his size and fires out of his stance with solid pad level for his height, without playing too high. Miles can impressively drop his hips and maintain his balance through contact, and his strong, active hands make it difficult for OL to get hands on and get control. Miles displays a great base through contact and can hold a gap through an attempted double team impressively, and he can unlock hips and win 1v1 pass rushes in a variety of ways. The Alexandria product cuts tight off OL’s backside, demonstrates a good motor and showed he can pursue and chase down ball carriers all around the box and to the sideline when necessary, and suffocates RBs and QBs at the contact point. Not a lot of wasted overall movement in the big man, both in his footwork and hand usage, and Miles shows some pass-rushing juice and can generate pressure from the interior of the defensive line. I’ll be interested to see if Alex plans on playing Miles on the OL at all this year, as well as which side of the LOS colleges see Miles playing on in a few years. Tons to get excited about here, folks!

Earning valuable playing time during his sophomore season, Adrian Miles Adrian Miles 6'4" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Alexandria | 2028 State MN has already shown he can hold his own extremely well, well enough to earn him the #1 ranking among the upcoming junior class in MN. Miles’ production came mostly on the defensive side of the ball, though with the level of tenacity and physicality that he brings at DT, I wouldn’t be surprised if Miles also gets an opportunity for reps on the O-line that could further boost his stock. Showing great balance, quick footwork, and strength at the point of attack, Miles has a real shot of becoming a two-way lineman entering his junior year, possibly one of the best in the state for that matter.
