About Dominic
Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Dominic was a linebacker prospect out of Eden Prairie that showed off some excellent elusive hips showing off in his change of direction. Dominic also showed off a very quick learning curve as he used the coaching he received nearly automatically and put it to good use in his reps I saw in 1v1s later in the day at Augustana. Dominic on tape is the definition of a smash-mouth linebacker, yet also has the versatility to show off his excellent physicality in pass coverage as a linebacker that can wreak havoc no matter what level of the field he is on. Dominic is another prospect in my eyes that is under recruited and is an offer-now prospect in my eyes. Twitter

is built like a semi truck, and he sure hits like one. When I say he lifts ballcarriers clear off their feet with his hits, I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Heim runs through tackles, lowers his shoulder, and legally flattens anyone unfortunate enough to get the ball in their hands near him. His Twitter is chalked full of lifts that many college players couldn’t touch, including a 415 pound bench press that was a school record at Eden Prairie. He’s got the neckpad, he’s got the strength, and he has plenty of D1 schools checking him out. Look for a big senior campaign out of this guy.

Our last defender on the list is also our first wrestler, and 5’11, 210 lb. Eden Prairie linebacker Dominic Heim is a stud at both sports. He’s coming off a third-place finish at the recent MSHSL state tournament in the 220AAA weight class and warmed up for the wrestling season by laying a ton of wood on the gridiron this past fall. Impressively, Heim just benched 400 pounds during the season and has visited North Dakota and South Dakota on unofficials since October. I’m a fan of 5’11 LBs, as the naturally low pad leverage and compact builds usually combine to create some huge hits, and that’s exactly the case with the EP Eagle, as he can generate a ton of power and is great at hitting ball carriers right in the sweet spot to send them flying. The strength also helps him easily bounce cut blocks and lead blockers off him, as well as stuff and drive opponents backward. Anytime you come into contact with this dude it’ll hurt, and you really don’t want to get in his way if he’s got a full head of steam coming at you, as he wiped a few kids off the map out on the edge in his junior highlights. With how much work Heim put in the weight room as a junior I think the hits will be even bigger next fall.
