South Hardin won nine games last year with Balvanz providing key contributions to the cause. He caught six passes, delivered nine solo tackles, intercepted a pass and handled the place-kicking duties. On his junior highlight video, Balvanz shows the signs of someone who could break out in 2025. It starts with an understanding of the scheme and putting himself in position to execute via pre-snap reads. His burst helps him break on the ball and a solid frame helps him play physically. Balvanz also flashes potential as a receiver with the speed to get by defenders, and the size and athleticism to go over them.
