Arguably the biggest Breakout Star – especially on the recruiting front – of the first three/four weeks of the 2025 Minnesota prep football regular season, Stillwater’s

has a ton of big-time regional D1 programs excited and itching to get a look at the TE/WR hybrid. Unfortunately, Zollar missed the entirety of the 2025 Summer Camp SZN, as well as the PrepRedzoneMN Showcase this past spring, due to a lower body injury, but boy oh boy has he come back better than ever. There were flashes of his outrageous upside last fall as a sophomore, but Zollar’s Week 1 performance against Maple Grove blew the Stillwater product straight into the Division 1 and P4 recruiting sphere with must-watch explosiveness.
Through 4 games, Zollar has posted 19 catches for 324 yards and 8 TDs, a superb scoring rate that is rare to see at the 6A level, and the film displays a prep WR with a massive catch radius due to a combination of his outstanding length, coordination, and ball skills. Zollar is dangerous and effective at the top of the route, accelerates out of his breaks, and is able to create separation against high-quality 6A DBs, plus he’s willing and able to go over the middle to pluck the ball out of the air through traffic and potential upcoming hits. As one would hope with the size, the 2027 Ponies grad can win the 50/50 ball and is a contested catch standout, especially in the red zone, but he also possesses the speed to take the top off the defense and win vertically. It’s a dangerous and rare combination for a young pass-catcher of his size, and I also love to see a big-bodied wideout who is easily able to take slants to the house. Thanks to good throws, Zollar is able to catch in stride, plant upfield, and accelerate past that oncoming safety and through the trailing cornerback. That’s a tough play to make for a reported 6’4, 210 lber., but a lot Zollar’s skillset, highlights, and production speak to his toughness to defend and overall rarity. The Stillwater product has visited Wisconsin in early September, but I see the recruitment bumping up a notch once the midseason film begins to make the rounds. Take a look below!
