Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Minegar is a very interesting prospect that can play multiple positions on either side of the ball and is versatile and his a wide skillset on offense and defense. Offensively from the slot he is a big and physical receiver with good explosion off the ball and open field speed to create seperation and has consistent hands and runs through open field tacklers with some wiggle as well. Defensively, he is quick off the edge with natural bend around the corner and has a variety of pass rush moves in his toolbox while able to collapse the pocket quickly and chase down backside. He is a high motor kid that fly’s around and is always around the ball making plays in space. He should find his home as a outside linebacker in college and holds offers from Air Force and Army already.

Minegar is a very fluid and explosive athlete that does tons of damage on both sides of the ball but should find his home as a outside linebacker/edge rusher at the next level. From the edge, he explodes out of his stance and can turn the corner with twitch and quick hands, turning his hips and shoulders quickly when winning the corner. He can get underneath bigger blockers and collapse the pocket quickly on the backside and knows when to counter back inside and win with speed and sudden movements in tight spaces. He is a very high motor player that quickly redirects and can lockout and play stout when setting the edge. Heading into the 2026 season, he will also be one of the top offensive weapons across Idaho and should gather plenty of D3+ interest/offers down the stretch.

Minegar is part of a very talented Freshmen group at CVC, and is another candidate that will get off of our WL rankings sooner rather than later down the line. He is a good overall athlete that did a ton of damage from his defensive end spot and showed good sudden explosion, hand violence and a relentless motor coming off the edge. He is a very active pass rusher with natural bend and can win with speed and a quick use of hands at the POA, while able to pursue backside and collapse the pocket quickly. Look for Minegar to take a big leap in year two for CVC, and be one of the regions top sack/TFL leaders come the Fall.
