Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Maybe the biggest winner of the 2025 camp season and one of the most exciting uncovered finds from the summer camp trail, Shakopee High School is home to yet another certified D1-hopeful in 2027 ‘backer Blake Loughlin. At a verified 6’2, 200+, Loughlin tested impressively well at a couple of regional summer camps, catching the eye of some heavy hitters on the recruiting trail, notably North Dakota State and Minnesota, who have sent a boatload (pun intended in MN’s case) of recruiting graphics to Loughlin throughout the season to maintain their level of attention to the developing linebacker from MN’s 6A ranks. North Dakota and South Dakota State also sent gameday invites in the summer.
Loughlin is a fast, physical presence from his ILB spot, with the speed to chase down ball carriers for TFLs from the backside of the LOS. The 200+ pounder is laterally agile and can use that quickness to easily maneuver around climbing OL attempting to climb to the second level, and he does a good job of finding and sniffing out the football to meet RBs at the line of scrimmage for minimal gains. As his stats show (48 tackles and 3 TFLs), Loughlin is also a good tackler who is technically sound and runs his feet post-contact, and his midseason tape is full of good sticks and winning at the contact point against 6A RBs. This stock is only getting hotter!
