Representing a Farmington Tigers program that physically develops and gets the most out of its players and prospects, I knew 6’3, 215 lb. TE/LT/DE Hank Vonbank was going to be a top JV player to know as soon as I flipped on the tape. Besides the size, which he also uses effectively on the basketball hardcourt, Vonbank was a three-phase contributor in the non-varsity ranks of Farmington and proved himself to be positionally versatile, lining up at TE/HB/LT/DE/DT. Offensively, stays engaged with defenders, is hard to shed, and works to finish, is quick and balanced enough to effectively swipe back across the LOS and eliminate the DE from the play, and showed he can catch the ball and contribute as a pass catcher. As a DE, Vonbank displayed that he can get off the ball well and produce in both run and pass defense, and on special teams, as a front line blocker on kickoff return, he demonstrated technique, physicality, and motivation as a blocker on kickoff return. Ideally, I think he’d fit well at TE, but DE works as well and you never know how much a young buck is going to grow in an offseason. Can’t wait to check out the 6’3, 215 lber. next year with a revamped Tigers squad.

Farmington’s Hank Vonbank Hank Vonbank 6'3" | 225 lbs | DL Farmington | 2026 State MN is still very much growing into 6’3, 195 lb. frame, but with the success the Tiger’s strength and conditioning program has produced as of late, I think he’s got the chance to be an impressive physical specimen when it’s all said and done. Last season, while playing LT and DE in the non-varsity ranks for Farmington, Vonbank put some good reps on tape on both sides of the ball. Defensively, he demonstrated some bend, effective hand-usage and pass-rushing moves and combos, and a good motor, as well as the control to tackle in space and the strength to tackle with a blocker still draped on him. He also disengages from blocking attempts easily and can lock out his arms, seek and find the ball, and then shed the opponent well. Speaking of locking out his arms, Vonbank possesses length in those arms and uses them well as a LT, where he sticks to opponents along the OL and is hard for defenders to shed, and he does a good job of running his feet and working to finish once he gets engaged with a defender. There’s also some solid initial pop and strength in his still-growing frame. Right now, I like him more as a DL, but I’m interested to see what Farmington thanks and where he may get the majority of his reps this fall.
