Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
There are only a couple of returning All-Metro selections from the 2023 season, one of whom is our next Top Newcomer in Delano’s stud wide receiver Jake Schultz. The 6′, 170 lber. is coming off a tremendous junior season that saw him total 70 receptions for 1,201 yards and 14 TDs while averaging more than 100 yards receiving a game and a ton of electric highlights along the way. Additionally, as a safety, he added 73 tackles, 7 PBUs, 2 FFs, and 24 kick returns for 648 yards and a TD to certify himself as a true three-phase contributor. Now a Top-60 junior who is fresh off his first college offer from MSU-Mankato a few days ago, Schultz is going to be a very popular 2025 recruit and is far from done on the always-developing recruiting trail.
I could see him playing either WR or DB at the next level, but the receiver highlights are really something to admire. The speed, body control, and all around athleticism pop off the tape first and foremost. Schultz can burn you deep, go up and win 50/50 balls and contested catches with ease, is very effective at creating separation as a route runner, and brings a ton of juice after the catch. The Delano product is nasty in his releases at the LOS against press-man, sudden at the top of the route, can cut and complete catches at top speed, and demonstrates great burst and get from 0-60 in a blink from a dead stop and out of his cuts. Schultz is very impressive when he high-points the football as well. He floats through the air, uses those strong hands pluck the ball out of the air, and he seems to levitate as he adjusts his body and prepares for landing. He shows the control and balance to land on his feet as well. Additionally, he’s twitchy, balanced, and overall exciting after the catch. The 170 lber. pulled off some splash plays with multiple broken tackles that he had no business pulling off, and can turn something out of nothing in thrilling fashion. What a year and what a WR prospect we have on our hands in the accomplished Delano pass catcher. The 2025 MN WR class is TALENTED.
Delano’s All-Metro pass catcher Jake Schultz debuts as the #59 overall 2025 and #7 WR in the latest PRzMN update.
