Huber owns one of the highest ceilings among uncommitted Iowa Class of 2027 prospects. Already 6-foot-4, 270 pounds, the senior still has room to fill out his frame and add strength. He’s physical and athletic. The future could be at end or tackle on defense. I wouldn’t close the door on him being really good on the other side of the trench, too. Huber recorded 17 solo tackles, a pair of stops for loss and a sack last season, playing assignment football within the framework of the defense. He’s capable of breaking out from a statistical standpoint if given the opportunity. That said, the junior film provides evidence of production beyond the numbers. Drake has offered. He has interest from Ivy League schools. A big senior season is loading.

Playing both offensive and defensive line for North Scott, AJ Huber AJ Huber 6'4" | 270 lbs | DL/OL North Scott | 2027 State IA is effective on both sides of the ball. Tall and long with some natural playmaking ability at the defensive end spot, he’d likely project there with a program like Drake, who offered him last week.

Most impactful in the run game, Huber doesn’t get taken out by pullers, often recognizing what’s happening before the pulling guard can reach him. He’ll either blow past them for a tackle-for-loss or shed a block and make the play. In the pass-rush, he doesn’t always get to the quarterback, but he’s the type of defender that, at the least, he’ll get in their face and make the throw difficult.

On the offensive line, his greatest strength mirrors what he does well defensively — as a puller, Huber gets some steam, and he’ll take out the defender that’s in closest pursuit to the North Scott ball-carrier.

Huber stood out for his effectiveness and consistency during an in-person scout when North Scott played at Cedar Rapids Washington in Week 2 of the 2025 season. Coming off of the left edge, Huber gets a good jump off of the snap and shows a variety of ways to beat the block. He wins with power and also gets by with quickness. Huber plays within the framework of the defense, staying disciplined and prioritizing the setting of the edge. With almost two seasons of prep football remaining, Huber is not a finished product, something that should excite scouts on the next level.
