Our top recruit on the team. Physical, strong frame with next level instincts. Excellent range to easily get to the sideline same time as the RB gets there. Closes violently and runs through his tackles. Big, rangy, physical, instinctual. A steal in the Class of 2026.

In an absolutely loaded LB Class, Izaiah has done well putting himself out there and standing out. The 6’2″ 210 lbs incoming senior has the strong frame you look for in up and coming LB recruits. Izaiah also showed the athletic side with a 4.87 40, 31″ vertical, 4.59 shuttle, and 7.41 L-Drill. Sheftgen played like a three down LB in his ’24 highlights, and also looked like one in a rep to rep basis at the camp. He can turn and run, slide laterally, and close quickly in space. Mark this kid down as one of the steals of this position. Get on him now.

One of my favorite new LBs on the radar is Port Washington’s Izaiah Scheftgen Izaiah Scheftgen 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB Port Washington | 2026 State WI . The 6’2″ 205 lbs junior ILB is a hunter. He piled up 94 tackles with 17 TFLs in 2024. It didn’t matter where the ball was, Izaiah tracked it down. He brings such a well rounded game to the position. Need him to play physical between the tackles to shed blocks, or quick to blitz through a gap? The junior checks those boxes. Izaiah also does really well flowing laterally with the play while still coming downhill and closing on the ball. The speed is also there to get to the sideline and still meet the back at the line of scrimmage. The ’26 LB also shows off his true three down capabilities with how fluidly he can change direction and drop into coverage. The Class of 2026 is LOADED at LB and it is only getting deeper.
