Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
The hype train for Brainerd’s Jayden Barnum Jayden Barnum 5'10" | 188 lbs | RB Brainerd | 2026 State MN got going at PrepRedzoneMN Combine Series stop this past spring. A big-time part of a loaded RB group at the PRZMN Showcase, Barnum was built like a brick and blew the testing portion of the event out of the water, clocking a 4.68 40, 4.09 and 4.34 shuttle, 9’8 and 9’6 broad jump, and 6.69 and 6.81 L-drill. Continuing to grind in the weight room and develop his craft, Barnum had a good showing at South Dakota State’s second prospect camp of the summer, going 4.68 in the 40 again, as well as 4.38 and 4.40 in the shuttle, and 9’5 and 9’2 in the broad jump, solidifying some real-deal athleticism going into his senior year. Barnum proved his could pop off big plays, play like a workhorse, and help win his Warriors some football games, all in Brainerd’s Week 1 victory over Buffalo. Barnum returned a kickoff 60 yards against Buffalo and tallied 30 rushes for 123 yards and 2 TDs while showing off quick, nimble feet that disguise where he is cutting to, great vision, and noticeable start/stop ability and burst. The power and strength show up in his excellent contact balance that can stay upright and churn through dogpiles and multiple tackle attempts. You gotta play and tackle through the whistle with this tailback, and to sweeten the pot, he can catch the rock out of the backfield and is an asset in the screen and passing game. I’d put some money on this production continuing throughout the 2025 season. Pay attention to Brainerd, the Warriors are fun this year!
