The younger brother of Sioux Falls redshirt freshman TE Blake Stahl, 2025 6’2, 220 lb. QB Gavin Stahl recently transferred from Champlin Park to Osseo High School and will spend his senior year with the Orioles. Stahl has been popular this spring, earning camp invites from Augustana, UMD, SMSU, Dakota State, Sioux Falls, Kent State, MSU-Mankato, and Princeton, Junior day invites from St. Scholastica, Augsburg, Hamline, Dubuque, Simpson, Valpo, Crown, Wagner, and Marist. Additionally, he took Junior day visits to St. Olaf, Sioux Falls, the University of Jamestown, and Augustana.

I believe the junior proved he was ready and capable for varsity action in 2023, mostly due to the stats/production and his accuracy to all three levels of the field. Stahl went 65 for 101 (64%) for 954 yards and 10 TDs to only 1 INT, added 17 rushes for 125 yards and a TD, and he has the arm to push the ball downfield and put some accurate throws on film from 2023, both from the pocket and on the move. That arm strength can also put velocity on intermediate throws, and Stahl also showed he was an effective ball carrier when he tucks and runs as a read-option QB, and he showed he can run behind his pads. There’s three rising seniors in the Osseo QB returning for 2024, so keep an eye on this QB competition going forward.

Champlin Park sadly came out on the losing end of a thrilling shootout against Coon Rapids, but not because of their QB play. Quarterback Gavin Stahl posted 250 passing yards, 30 rushing yards, and 5 TDs through the air.

One of the biggest QBs in attendance was the imposing 6’2″ 230 lbs 2025 out of Champlin Park in MN. That size didn’t go to waste either. Stahl had one of the most naturally strong arms in the crowd. It looked easy for him to fire the ball downfield on a rope. I was equally as impressed with his ability to know when to use touch instead of that rocket arm. I was able to catch multiple reps of him dropping the ball in instead of firing it on a rope. Gavin also has natural accuracy that shined while throwing to receivers he wasn’t comfortable with. Check out the highlights from his day below.
