The Menomonie OL as a unit is going to be the deciding factor in this game. River Falls has a stout front seven so the Mustangs are going to have to find ways to open up holes consistently. One of the most impressive underclassmen OL in the state is Hunter Simmons Hunter Simmons 6'5" | 275 lbs | OL Menomonie | 2029 State WI . The 6’5″ 275 lbs sophomore has the build of a high level college football OL. When we last saw him in the summer he was still developing his mobility and balance, but I’m very interested in how that has developed through the season.

When it is all said and done, this might be just the launching point for the Menomonie OT. Hunter hit our radar when he attended the UWEC Big Man Camp in early June. He is a kid that passes the eye test, standing at 6’5″ 275 lbs with long arms. He looks like a kid with a very high ceiling.

The reason I say this could be his launching point is because his breakout is imminent. He has the size necessary to be a top tier talent. Now is the time for him to show that the athleticism and flexibility needed to be that type of talent has developed this offseason. If he takes a leap in that part of his game then we will instantly see him move into that Top 15 range. He is at a program in Menomonie that is no stranger to developing top talent. So I’m excited to see what is to come from the big man over these next few years.
