Highlights:

  • Generally, an OL or defensive prospect sneaks in for a Mr. Football Finalist nod, and if Forest Lake’s Howie Johnson Howie Johnson Howie Johnson 6'3" | 260 lbs | DL Forest Lake | 2026 State MN puts up his typical type of production, and Forest Lake makes a good run at the state title like they should, I think the DE earns the nod
  • Best defensive player in the state, best shot putter in the senior class, ELITE athletic testing numbers for his size, committed to PJ Fleck and the Minnesota Golden Gophers
  • Captain, heart & soul, undisputed leader of Forest Lake, who are 2-0 and a Top 5 contender for the 2025 Class 6A crown
  • 11 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 TFLs through two games of 2025, 87 tackles, 32 TFLs, 4 sacks, 1 FF in 2024 as a junior
  • I think a lot will depend on how deep Forest Lake makes it in the state playoffs
