, a big-time Top Newcomer and New Addition to the 2027 Ranking’s Big Board, which can be found here for those curious. In that spirit, we’re going to be focusing on Brisk’s game and hard hitting ability specifically for this feature, as the Buffalo product is undoubtedly one of Minnesota’s Hardest Hitters going into the 2026 season.
Built like an ATV, the 220 lber. swallows up RBs thanks to his combination of enveloping size, brute strength, and long arms, and he rattles the bones of WRs when he gets a chance to put the pads on them. Brisk has a huge hit on a wideout lazily running his slant over the middle without his head on a swivel, popping the poor Brainerd WR right under the chin and sending him crumpling to the turf in painful-fashion. Brisk creates car crash-esque collisions between the tackles, either when facing opposing OL or RBs, and he’s a sticky tackler who reads, triggers on, and sniffs out the football quickly and with intention. Plus, Brisk flashes ball skills and shows some 50/50 ball ability, which helps him make plays and undercut throws from his ILB spot, particularly up the seam and in the MOF, and he owns loose hips and takes good angles to the football. The Buffalo product can run the alley and pursue out to the sideline with pace, and to sweeten the pot, was recently named a Preseason All-State pick by Prep Baseball Minnesota. Don’t come over the middle on this kid, straight up.
