Came into summer camp szn: offerless

Now holds offers from: Nebraska

Summary: Last but not least, the Nebraska Cornhusker’s recent prospect camp paid off big-time for De Soto (KS) 6’5, 215 lb. DE Charlie Woleben Charlie Woleben 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL De Soto | 2025 IA , who walked out of Lincoln with his first offer from the B1G competitor ‘Huskers. A conversation with new HC Matt Rhule and DL coach Terrance Knighton led to the life changing moment for the young DE/EDGE, who already sports an impressive resume as a student-athlete, which includes a 4.3 GPA, 32 ACT, 4.68 (laser) 40, 4.29 short-shuttle, 38″ vert, and 10’5 broad jump. Those are excellent numbers across the board, and Woleben shows up on film as well, where he displays bend, solid strength, active hands and a knack for getting off blocks, a quick get off, and a ton of room to grow and fill out into his promising frame. In 2022, he posted 42 tackles, 8 TFLs, 6 sacks, 2 FFs in 2022 and earned All-Conference All-State HM honors from four different publications. The future is bright and the Huskers made a good move getting in there early.

This piece begins with one of the newest additions to the Top 10 from the recent update. Next to Jayden Woods Jayden Woods 6'3" | 235 lbs | EDGE Mill Valley | 2025 State KS and Julian Marks Julian Marks 6'7" | 275 lbs | OL Olathe South | 2025 State KS , there might not have been a more impactful first-year defender than Charlie Woleben Charlie Woleben 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL De Soto | 2025 IA . He stepped in at defensive end and was arguably the Wildcats’ top pass-rusher this past season. Woleben climbed 26 spots in this January update after piling up 42 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, six sacks, and two forced fumbles. His tremendous year would earn him a 1^st Team All-UKC selection, and he was a 5A All-State Honorable Mention pick as well. Given Woleben’s early success and rangy frame, he could start to draw next-level interest this year.
