The more I dug into the 2027 class, the more I like St. Michael-Albertville going into next season. This particularly includes the offensive line, with beef, experience, physicality, and toughness in droves all over the Knights‘ LOS, and Grady Riebel Grady Riebel 6'3" | 270 lbs | OL St. Michael-Albertville | 2027 State MN is a big-time name-to-know and stock-riser from the interior of the OL. To sweeten the pot, especially when talking high-level OL, Riebel has some eye-catching track & field numbers in the shot put, PRing with a 46’7″ toss last spring, but we need to get some verified size and athletic measurables on the OG before we really cement his spot in the upper echelons of the Big Board.

The rankings show a LG who is a bull out of the gates off the snap, and Riebel is an overall crushing finisher in both run blocking and pass pro. Riebel is an effective puller with good footwork that doesn’t waste movement or steps, and man oh man, you don’t want to be on the other side of the STMA product off a full head of steam. The 270-pounder is a strong kid who can finish blocks post-contact thanks to some noticeably effective leg drive. PRZMN will be closely monitoring Riebel this offseason and Summer Camp SZN, plus the 2026 Outdoor T&F season, so stay tuned. I could see some serious noise coming out of the STMA OL room soon.
