Menke’s contributions get lost in the shuffle at times because the Dutch defense is filled with playmakers. Menke helps form a solid foundation to the unit, however. He occupies space in the middle of the front. Menke operates with sound technique, allowing him to get off of blocks. He runs well and covers ground laterally in pursuit. I liked what I saw when he registered five tackles during a state semifinal victory against Sergeant Bluff-Luton, and he held up well against the top-ranked squad in Iowa, Xavier, during the title game.
