Total Tackles: 117

This is a rare occurrence. We have an athlete making a repeat appearance in this Top Performer series. Cohen was already included in the passing article. He returns because of his elite production on defense. Just his numbers alone show his versatility. He will fly around piling up tackles with the best of them, but then Cohen will also show how dynamic he is on defense with his 3 INTs and 8 PBUs in coverage. The fact he is doing it all as a sophomore is wildly impressive too. The explosive, versatile athlete is going to be a kid to keep a close eye on over the next 1-2 years.

The first 2027 among the Top 10 returning passers is Racine Lutheran’s Cohen Kraus Cohen Kraus 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB/ATH Racine Lutheran | 2027 State WI . Cohen finished with 2,075 passing yards and 28 TDs. Good enough for 27th and 11th respectively. The sophomore is an excellent athlete who also shines on defense. He secured 100+ tackles in 2024 while also leading the offense up and down the field. Kraus also did damage on the ground with 400+ rushing yards. Essentially, the sophomore never left the field and was impacting the game non-stop. He is a versatile athlete that is sure to put up even better numbers this fall. I’m excited to watch it unfold.
