One of the better freshman LB prospects in Minnesota revealed himself at the PRZMN Spring Showcase, and despite the long drive, Mountain Iron–Buhl’s Caleb Unhjem Caleb Unhjem 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB/RB Mountain Ironbuhl | 2029 MN made the travel worth it. Representing one of the better small school programs of the last half-decade, Unhjem is a well-built and strong 5’11, 200 pounds, with varsity experience already under his belt with the recently promoted 11-man standout Mountain Iron-Buhl program. Unhjem, battling against underclassmen and upperclassmen Metro, Big School RBs, really got comfortable during competition, closing and squeezing space out of tailbacks and not falling for fakes and jukes, and he had the speed to hang with RBs working vertically in coverage. I think this kid is going to play a lot of football in his prep career with the Rangers.

It has been no secret for the last seven years I have been with Prep Redzone Minnesota, that Mountain Iron-Buhl churns out next-level athletes, and even though he’s only in the 2029 class, I surely feel like we found another one in 2029 linebacker Caleb Unhjem Caleb Unhjem 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB/RB Mountain Ironbuhl | 2029 MN . You have to start with this young man’s character, as it’s pretty uncommon to see a freshmen reach out to every college coach and scout after an even to make an early connection. The verified 5’11 204 pounder, ran an impressive 6.85 L-drill from the start of our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase and that COD ability matched what you saw in his later reps. He was mixed in with mostly upperclassmen in the LB group, but surely Oliver West Oliver West 5'11" | 185 lbs | DB Minneapolis Southwest | 2027 MN and I couldn’t agree more that that Caleb blended in well with the group, as a high effort and motored linebacker that’s it clear as day, is one that already is putting in the effort in the weight room. His aiblity to take coaching is another skillset that will take him a long way as he has three years left to improve his stock for the Rangers defense.
