My colleague Oliver recently wrote about Conrad’s success last season and his upside as a prospect, and I’m inclined to agree. On his tape, Conrad fires through the line like a missile. He’s an explosive blitzer who can make big plays in the backfield by racking up TFLs. I also like how he doesn’t give up on a play. He can be engaged with a blocker when a ball is slung out to the flats, shed the blocker, and hawk down the receiver for a minimal gain. Conrad does a nice job of sniffing out screens as well. He avoids blockers when tracking down RBs and flows effortlessly from alley to alley to make sideline tackles. He also has some utility on offense as a running back, where he fights hard for extra yardage when carrying the rock, and sells out for blocks when asked to clear the lane. Conrad should be an athlete to watch in 2026.

Despite going 0-8 in 2025 with Bethlehem Academy, rising senior LB Aiden Conrad Aiden Conrad 5'7" | 170 lbs | ATH Bethlehem Academy | 2027 MN had a good season with the Cardinals, tallying 68 tackles, 11 TFLs, and 2 FF as a junior in the Class 9Man ranks. Conrad does a good job of reading and anticipating gaps as a flowing linebacker, and his speed and instincts helped him remain a steady presence in opponent’s backfields in 2025. He shoots gaps with pace, is a good 1v1 tackler in the open field, and does a good job of reading and snuffing out screens around the box. The 175 lber. is also elusive in the open field and effective as a blocker when setting up his teammates and creating gaps and seams in a defense, owns strong hands as a pass-catcher, and can get open as a route runner. DIIIs, NAIAs, JUCOs, get him on your board ASAP!
