Stewartville’s linebacker and thumper Isaac Spencer Isaac Spencer 6'4" | 223 lbs | LB Stewartville | 2026 State MN is on a shortlist of 2026 prospects in contention for a massive rankings bump. If I can confirm both Spencer’s reported 6’3, 215 lbs. and 4.71 40, Spencer is going to be a Top 50 kid in no time. Playing with the undisputed Big Dog of Class AAA, Spencer posted 83 tackles and a sack in 2024, and also earned tick during the Tigers‘ 2023 state championship run as well, posting 10 tackles in his sophomore season.

South Dakota came to check in on Spencer this offseason, and you can see why, as the 6’3, 215 lber. is a menacing figure in the middle of the Tigers defense whose big, 6’3 frame staring over the top of the OL is a can’t-miss sight for opposing QBs and RBs. He’s a big, strong, physical presence who patrols the box like a shark smelling blood in the water. Spencer owns good range in run support defensively, and is a runaway freight train at the contact point, opening his tape with a bone-shattering hit on a Waseca ball carrier that snaps the young man’s head back like he was in a car accident demonstration. He freezes ball carrier’s feet when he makes contact, negating extra gains and stonewalling them in the hole, and is physically dominant and thrives in run support. However, he does show some looseness in his hips and speed to aid in coverage. The 215 lbs., strength, and willingness for Spencer to stick his head into contact is a painful combination for opposing ball carriers, and when he makes contact, you’re going to know it, as you got a less than favorable chance of getting an extra inch, much less a yard, after Spencer puts the pads on you. If Stewie wants to go for three in a row in 2025, Spencer is going to be a big reason why. Hope to see this kid on the camp trail this offseason.
