One of the most versatile athletes in Minnesota’s 2028 class, Rosemount’s Finn Macken Finn Macken 6'2" | 195 lbs | QB/ATH Rosemount | 2028 State MN was also recently mentioned in a PrepRedzone feature highlighting the state’s top 2028 hooper/football multi-sporters, so add another notch on his multi-faceted functional athleticism here! An integral part of Rosemount’s turnaround 8-2 season in 2025 competing in the heavyweight 6A ranks of Minnesota high school football, Macken has kept the good times going into the 2026 outdoor track and field season. The near 200-pounder has PRed with an 11.55 100M and impressive 51.41 400M sprint, and even before he was tearing things up on the track, big-time college programs have taken notice. The likes of Boston College, UND, and Wyoming have been in to Rosemount to see Macken and his Irish teammates, so keep an eye out for this Irish sophomore this summer on the camp trail.

For a peek into Macken’s game, check the evaluation from the recent basketball/football feature PRZMN published this winter.

A stock-rising sophomore in Minnesota’s 2028 class, Rosemount’s Finn Macken was an integral part of the Irish’s big-time 2025 campaign and turnaround season on the gridiron, finishing 8-2 last fall. Macken is full of multi-sport utility, representing Rosemount on the hardwood as the #81 sophomore in PrepHoops 2028 Rankings, as well as on the track, and Macken even quadruples as an accomplished boxer and weightlifter for his age as well.

Although he didn’t get any tick with Rosemount’s varsity basketball team in 2025-26, and honestly, I’m not sure if he hooped at all, Macken was an All-District selection at QB in 2025 and has already knocked off a 275 lb. clean to really highlight some strength and explosiveness in the weight room. The lefty can generate notable velocity on throws to the first and second level of the field and can put some mustard on the pigskin off platform – with accuracy as well. Macken has some good reps showcasing his accuracy and ball placement ability downfield, but he’s also a tall, smooth, and powerful ball carrier who can step, slip through, or bowl over tackle attempts at his lower and upper body, as well as finish runs for six once he gets out into space. Macken is physical, dare I say ferocious, ball carrier at times, and he has a great rep against Centennial where he brawls through 3-4 tackle attempts in a single carry. Macken is an effective read-option and option QB with a truck stick that can trample over 6A LBs and DBs and who also snatched some ankles and highlighted some footwork in the open field in his sophomore campaign. The future is bright with this underclassman Irishman.

A rising 2028 prospect who could continue to make waves during his sophomore campaign, Macken looked far more experienced than someone who had a single year of football at the high school level. He’s particularly adept with short, quick routes, as he hit several slants with well-placed balls throughout the evening. He’s bigger than most sophomores, and when I compared his showing at the practice with his freshman tape, he’s improved by leaps and bounds. I don’t know if he’ll see a lot of varsity time as a sophomore, but Macken is a name to watch over the next few seasons.
