has seen his stock rise this offseason through camps where he was able to earn an offer from Northern State. The upward trajectory might just be starting for Dane though. The ’25 LB has a great frame to build on at the next level. It is impressive watching him move in pass coverage at 6’4″. He is able to change direction laterally, backpedal, and attack downhill on plays in front of him. Dane also does a great job of playing contain on the edge. He has the athleticism to be able to quickly collapse down or get wide laterally to keep the ball from getting outside him. He also closely quickly in those scenarios and is usually able to end the play himself. Dane is a comfortable athlete out in space and has the toughness to play on the edge in the trenches too. The building blocks are there for him to truly breakout at the next level.

The tall and long linebacker from Harford Union impressed with his testing times and individual work throughout the WI Stock Up Showcase. The first thing that stood out about Meinerz was his frame. The 6’4, 178 lbs outside linebacker showcased quick footwork, smooth hips, and plus speed. His testing numbers jumped off the sheet. Meinerz ran a 4.82 40 yard dash, a 4.47 short shuttle, and jumped a 9’2 broad jump. He was flying around the field all day Sunday, making plays in 1-on-1’s and impressing during open-field tackling drills. Meinerz, a junior, is a hidden gem who is sure to gain some looks as he heads into the offseason before his senior campaign.
