Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
A dual-threat QB who will enter his second season starting for the 6A program, Centennial, Belinske-Strauss’s arm was very impressive last Monday. He’s been a rankings riser this offseason, and it’s clear why: the kid can sling it. His showing was incredibly well-rounded and complete. Belinske-Strauss was able to hit all three levels of the field and drop dimes right into receivers’ breadbaskets. His ball-placement and overall passing ability have improved greatly since last fall, and I can’t wait to see what he can do during his final season as the Centennial gunslinger.

The Centennial gunslinger came to play today, and it showed in his performance. Belinske-Strauss took the opportunity to showcase his arm talent, which we don’t always get to see. He hit a number of wideouts deep and in stride. His anticipation as a passer has increased tenfold, and you can tell his confidence has grown in the pocket. He leads receivers well on short routes, and while he could put more zip on the ball beneath 7 yards, I think Belinski-Strauss has rapidly made improvements to his accuracy. Statistically, he also put forth a significant amount of work on the ground last year, and I think this camp went a long way in solidifying him as a dual-threat athlete.

Isaac might be one of the youngest prospects on this final list from the Minnesota camp, however the amount of splash plays this 2026 prospect out of Centennial made on Wednesday in 1v1s certainly passed my eye test quickly. I liked watching Isaac’s physical ball-tracking ability in his 1v1 reps I watched a handful of times. He did a great job with his positioning with the WRs he went up against regardless of their size. I also liked how well he pressed the WR to the sideline on his reps with that physicality I mentioned and also showed off a catchy comeback speed that showed off great adjustment in the air. Isaac is certainly a 2026 defensive back I will be tracking over the coming years out of the Twin Cities Metro.

Physical on both offense and defense, Belinske-Strauss comes up strong as a defensive back and is physical both blocking on the outside as a wide receiver and as a wing-back. Defensively, he supports the run well and has solid hips coming out of his backpedal. Offensively, he blocks well on the wing and is a threat to run the ball. An overlooked skill Belinske-Strauss does well is using his footwork and hands blocking in the open field. All receivers need to do it, but few do it well.
