Junior Austin Ruhter Austin Ruhter 5'7" | 178 lbs | ATH Millard North | 2027 State NE is a prospect primed to have a breakout season next year as he takes on a bigger role on offense and will have a season at LB already under his belt. Last season, Austin recorded 51 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, while also posting 192 yards and three touchdowns on offense. My biggest takeaway from Austin’s film is that, despite being “undersized,” he plays with a motor and tenacity that far outweigh that. He is constantly playing at 100% from snap to whistle and is a sure tackler when he gets to the ball carrier. He does a great job reading his keys and is very good at filling his gaps with a quick first step to help launch him downhill. Underrated strength that allows him to disengage from blockers at the line of scrimmage. Offensively, I’m looking forward to seeing Austin get more touches so he can display his explosiveness and overlooked speed that caught our attention at the Stock Up showcase (4.66 40-yard dash, 9’4″ broad jump, and 7.37 shuttle drill).
