Took 6 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown then added one reception for 27 yards and touchdown through the air. On the season, he’s got 742 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns. One to watch.

Horizon’s big‑play spark, the guy who tilts the field when the ball’s in the air. He gets open without a lot of drama — clean release, pace changes, stacks corners — and then shows late hands and smooth body control to track and adjust deep. Strong hands let him finish through contact, and he turns quick‑game throws into YAC. They move him around a bit so defenses can’t pin him down, and vs. Cactus he kept the safeties honest, which really helped the run game breathe. 

A gifted pass catcher with exceptional ball judgement and advanced route running ability. He tracks the ball effortlessly in the air, adjusts smooth, and consistently makes tough catches look routine. Does a great job creating positional leverage at the catch point and controlling his body to rip the ball out of the air. Separates from defenders with good change of direction, timing, and acceleration out of the break. High level playmaker with strong bloodlines, brother of Matthew Klopfenstein who was a top 2023 TE recruit that is now at Baylor and racked up 24 D1 offers.
