. PRZMN has gotten an up-close-and-personal look at Metzger & co. at U.S. Bank Stadium the past couple of seasons, and the three-phase dynamo is nothing short of electric wherever he lines up and no matter how bright the spotlight. Oh yeah, and he can hoop. The #47 ranked sophomore in the PrepHoops 2028 Rankings, Metzger walked away from the 2025-26 state tournament with a ton of hardware, earning Class A All-Tournament team honors and a Class 1A state championship with a 30-3 record in 2025-26 and wins over Southland, Henning, and Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton in the state tournament. Metzger finished his sophomore season with a 13.5 PPG average, .559 FG %, 6.2 RPG, and 2.8 APG, adding to a decorated list of growing achievements that included a 9Man football All-State nod and All-Prep Bowl Team honors by PRZMN and the StarTribune.
KState came by Hills-Beaver Creek this offseason to check in on Metzger and some of his Patriot teammates, and you can see why, as the sophomore totaled 62 catches for 1,096 yards and 18 TDs, 51 rushes for 483 yards and 8 TDs, 57 tackles, 9 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 1 INT in HBC’s undefeated 2025 9Man state championship run. Oh yeah, and he’s posted a 11.63 100M, 6′ high jump, and 19’9 long jump in his developing track career, but for now, we’ll be breaking down his game on the gridiron.
Metzger reads, diagnoses, and closes with pace and physicality from his OLB/SS spot, and closes on ball carriers like he was shot out of a cannon and is a thumper at the contact point. Metzger is a straight-up mean tackler and is looking to hurt you when he comes into contact, and he’s a long, massive, instinctive presence all over the field in his sophomore tape. The kid can do it all and is incredibly dynamic, showcasing video game-level elusiveness in space and with the ball in-hand, the ability to absolutely flatten opponents as a lead blocker, bend and explosiveness as a pass rusher, and excellent 1v1 tackling ability. Metzger can shut down quickly and concisely at the top of the route, displays strong hands and a big catch radius, and is twitchy after the catch, with game-changing acceleration, and effective stiff-arm, and the ability can cut on a dime. He sees and exploits space with the ball in-hand too well, and was straight up dominant last year as an underclassman. Hope to see him on the camp trail this summer, especially at the Gophers.
