There was some headline news made by the No. 3 ranked prospect this summer. In late June, Pfannenstiel made the decision to flip his commitment from Texas Tech to the Wisconsin Badgers.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Pfannenstiel has really seen his recruitment ramp up this summer. He has so far picked up FBS offers from the likes of Kansas and Illinois but many other programs are heavily after him, namely Kansas State and Wisconsin.

I’m looking for big things from dynamic pass rusher this coming fall as the transitions to 2A power Hoisington from Russell. This past season while playing for the Broncos he had 51 tackles (16 solo and 30 assisted), nine tackles for loss and six sacks on the season.

Those efforts were good enough for him to be honored as a First Team All-Mid Continent League performer and a Honorable Mention All-State 2A defensive lineman.

Pfannenstiel also takes care of business in the classroom, where he holds a 3.9 GPA.

Barton County has really started to bring out some big time talent. Led by Notre Dame bound Ian Premer Ian Premer 6'6" | 230 lbs | TE Great Bend | 2026 State KS from Great Bend in the 2026 class. Pfannenstiel and GB’s Cooper Ohnmacht Cooper Ohnmacht 6'1" | 185 lbs | ATH Great Bend | 2027 State KS have already picked up FBS offers in the 2027 class.

One of the top small school prospects in the state regardless of class. Brody brings an dominate force to the defensive side of the ball who has the ideal frame and length colleges look for.

A terror off the edge and the ability to get to the sideline very quickly. His get off is top notch and he is very explosive at the point of contact while showing really good hands. Thick lower body but still shows good bend when coming around the edge. Very capable defensive tackle when called upon to move inside.

A definite high level prospect who also plays basketball.
