Back to Mankato West for our final football/hockey hybrid standout! The Scarlet’s 2027 standout Hudson Clarksean Hudson Clarksean 6'1" | 195 lbs | LB Mankato West | 2027 State MN is legitimately one of the most dynamic and interesting prospects I’ve covered in my time with PRZMN. I still remember the first time I saw the eye-catcher – then a freshman – at the Minnesota Gophers’ prospect camp, and boy was he defined for his age. He’s gone onto to play a ton of varsity minutes at a variety of different positions but as a junior has settled into his natural position at LB now that he’s an upperclassman. Clarksean is also the owner of some eye-popping track numbers for his size (46’11” shot put, 132’4″ discus, 11.48 100M, 22.99 200M), and he’s adding to his versatile resume in the winter by performing for Mankato West’s now state-qualifying varsity hockey team, logging an appearance this season for the Scarlets booming hockey squad.

However, his best work undoubtedly comes on the football field, where the junior, who now reports to measure in at 6’2, 215, tallied 71 tackles (1st on team), 10 TFLs (1st on team), 5 sacks (1st on team) in 2025 for a strong junior campaign in Minnesota’s Class 5A. Clarksean shows rangy play speed and runs the alley with effectiveness as well as aggression, and he sees and sifts through traffic smoothly and efficiently in search of the pigskin and works up and under climbing iOL around the box. The 210ish-pounder takes great angles to the football and scrapes flat across the LOS effectively and is a productive blitzer who closes and gets hip to hip with hesitating QBs before they can react. He man-handled and rag-dolled some ball-carriers in 2025 to highlight his strength and physicality as a ILB, which all came together visually against Mahtomedi. Clarksean had a very impressive 1v1 goal line tackle against Mahtomedi that saw him stuff the Zephyrs RB right at the 1-yard line, pad to pad, sticking him and freezing him right in his tracks before running his feet for a big showing of power and thumping ability. Also suplexed a Mahtomedi RB later in the game in WWE-esque fasion. If Clarksean can post the athletic numbers he seems to be displaying on tape this summer on the Summer Camp Circuit he’ll be our biggest stock riser come next update! Stay tuned!
