As just a sophomore, Brody went into the best conference in WI and put up 35/442/2 as a receiver. Those totals all led Kettle Moraine for 2025. When it comes to the WR position it is all about how you can create separation for your QB. Brody does it with a combo of athleticism and route running. The ’28 WR has proven he can stretch the field and run away from DBs, or he can get in and out of breaks in a split second. His ability to cut and accelerate in the short to intermediate routes consistently got him open. It is always very noteworthy that even when Schimpf didn’t create a ton of separation his QB still trusted him to make a play. That is because Brody does a great job of fighting through contact and attacking the ball in the air instead of waiting for the ball. Route running, speed, strong hands, and elusive running after the catch are all coming together to make Brody one of the toughest matchups in the Classic 8.

Rise: #86 up to #57

For the majority of athletes we see the junior season be the breakout year. Brody was ahead of the curve there as he had his breakout in 2025. In the toughest conference in WI, Brody led the league in receptions and was 2nd in yards/yards after the catch.

Throughout his highlights DBs can’t seem to find the ’28 WR. His speed gets him separation behind DBs. If they press him he has an effective release package to get clean releases. The sophomore has a knack for getting lost in the secondary and finding massive space for his QB to target him on huge chunk plays. Once he gets the ball in space it is a new battle to try and contain him and bring him down. I hope to see Brody this summer and get a closer look at his talents out wide. Impressive athlete.

Another exciting up and coming underclassman at WR to have your eyes on is Kettle Moraine’s Brody Schimpf Brody Schimpf 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Kettle Moraine | 2028 State WI . Brody started the day with a great combine. 4.9 40, 4.26 shuttle, and a 6.78 L-Drill. The play on the field matches the combine results. Brody excels with his quickness over his pure speed. He is so sudden and explosive. His ability to create space quickly and not needing much space to do it separates him from the crowd and earned him valuable experience this past season. Brody is just scratching the surface. I’m excited to see what another offseason of work can do to his numbers by the time the spring/summer roll around.

Looking through the Kettle Moraine roster it appears that the team will be looking for that next WR or two to step up. They return their leading receiver from 2024 and that is about it when it comes to returning production. So that opens the door to the next wave of talent coming through the program. My pick for a larger role is 2028 WR Brody Schimpf Brody Schimpf 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Kettle Moraine | 2028 State WI . The freshman tape shows a playmaker who dominates in two ways. First is with his long speed, stretching the field and getting behind the defense for the big play. Second, Brody did really well in the quick passing game. He can create quick separation or find soft spots and then make defenders miss after the catch. Watch for a breakout season from the 2028.

Projection: Highly ranked in state

A multi-sport athlete that plays at a high level in both basketball and football. A teammate of Zachary Keith Zachary Keith 6'3" | 270 lbs | DL/OL Franklin | 2028 State WI (listed above), at 6-foot-1 and 170-pounds he comes with good size for a Wide Receiver on this level. Equally agile and explosive. Plays Defensive End/Edge/Outside Linebacker on the other side of the ball and brings the requisite physicality.
