Caleb showed up with one of the more physically imposing frames at the linebacker position at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen. The verifed 5’11 225 pounder from Fertile-Beltrami, showed off an upside that can grow with his change of direction and balance in the reps I watched, but what impressed me with Caleb was how sudden he was getting downhill and persistently showed off well-versed pursuit angles against the running back group. He showed off one of the biggest hand sizes at our Dakotas Showcase and you can tell is one you don’t want to meet in the A-gap as not only did he pass the eye test early, but plays with a well-ran motor that possesses the quick vision needed at the linebacker position on Saturdays. Caleb is one that got quick leverage and pad-level and in my eyes, has position flexibility too to possibly be a fit at nose guard too at the next-level.

Making his way from 9-man Minnesota powerhouse, Fertile-Beltrami tomorrow is 2026 linebacker Caleb Sather. I recall his name from the 9-man state championships last year at US Bank, and remembering his first clip on take with how sudden and instinctive this 5’11 200 pounder can be getting downhill to the backfield for a loss. Even when working off a double-team, the smooth release this young man has is going to be intriguing to watch for with my live eyes tomorrow in Aberdeen. He also has the athletic movement in his favor, as a sideline to sideline linebacker that surely looks like a Saturday prospect to me. Twitter
