Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Mounds View High School’s Godson Rufus-Okomhanru Godson Rufus-Okomhanru 6'0" | 170 lbs | ATH Mounds View | 2026 State MN is easily in contention for the most electric junior highlight tape in the Great State of Minnesota’s 2026 class. The fun can in large part be traced back to the Shoreview products high-end speed, which was on full display during the 2024 outdoor track season last school year. Rufus-Okomhanru posted an 11.16 and 11.15 100M times as well as a 22.07 200M sprint to sweeten the pot. His junior season went so well that the Mighty North Dakota State Bison – arguably the best recruiters of Minnesota talent in the land – offered the junior gameday visit in early November. Rufus-Okomhanru was one of only two Minnesotans to earn an offer from NDSU this school year, and one of only a handful of juniors to earn an NDSU offer during their 2024 season, so I hope you guys realize how confident the FCS heavyweight feels about the Mounds View athlete’s talent and upside. A WR/RB/OLB for the Mustangs, the 6′, 180 lber. twitch, burst, fluidity, top-end speed stand out the most on tape.
He opens his clip with a beautiful rep of him sticking, planting, and getting open in the redzone before making an eye-catching full extension to perfectly high-point a fade route through a waiting DB’s outstretched arms in an impressive display of body control. Rufus-Okomhanru is a smooth, fluid, effortless ball carrier and cutter who shows sudden COD ability. He can break at top speed, accelerate out of his cuts, and easily make free defenders at the second and third levels of the defense. He was a huge part of Mounds View’s excellent 2024 season, which saw them nearly upset Shakopee 24-17 in the state quarters to cap off an 8-3 season in Minnesota’s largest football classification. The 180 lber. took a kick back for six against Woodbury, making it look as easy as a walk in the park for you and me. Defenders never know where he’s going to cut to, and he can change direction so suddenly and smoothly without losing speed that it barely looks like he slowed down. His top-end speed can easily pull away from 6A defenders and finish runs for six once he takes space, and he’s a big play wideout who pulled off some electric catches in 2024, especially through tight coverage and multiple defenders draped all over him. He wins at the top of the route and can take the top off the defense, is surehanded, and shows good contact balance after the catch. Rufus-Okomhanru should continue to stay fruitful on the recruiting trail in 2025, as North Dakota, NDSU, Wyoming, Montana State, Boston College, Columbia, and Minnesota have all stopped in to see the junior, and he’s sure to turn some heads during this upcoming track season. The big question is where do you put the playmaker at the next level position-wise, but with verified athletic data backing up the explosive tape, it’s not the worst question to try and answer. You’ll be hearing more about the Mounds View junior this offseason!
