Albear Van Zee Albear Van Zee 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR/DB MOC-Floyd Valley | 2027 IA saw limited playing time in his junior season, but gave plenty of flashes that could see him play a prominent role at WR and CB in 2026. Van Zee led the team with 171 receiving yards on 12 receptions. He also recorded 12.5 tackles, a TFL, 3 PBUs, and an INT. A flexible and dynamic athlete who possesses plenty of range and mechanics that could excel greatly at the next level, including long, fast strides, great vertical leaping ability to high-point passes, and a lengthy wingspan to gain separation and win 1-on-1 whether it’s on offense or defense. Van Zee holds a D1 offer from Drake, and a strong senior showing should certainly yield several more offers to play at that level.

Speaking of prospects with long arms.

Albear Van Zee Albear Van Zee 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR/DB MOC-Floyd Valley | 2027 IA , a wide receiver from MOC-Floyd Valley, stands at just 6-feet tall, but his arms stretch out to 6-feet-6 inches. The way he plays further illustrates the advantage he possesses with his unique build.

A target in the passing game that, when getting up to his top speed, can really move, Van Zee uses that speed to separate from defensive backs, but if he’s in tight coverage, his quarterback can still trust him to go get a 50-50 ball, as he outstretches those long arms, employs strong hands and can be trusted to come down with tough catches.

He could be developed at multiple positions. During his 11th-grade highlight video, we see VanZee flash a well-rounded skill set at receiver, running sharp routes and displaying reliable hands.
