I gotta credit my fellow scout and PRzDAK Director of Scouting Nate Wahl Nate Wahl 5'8" | 210 lbs | DL Big Lake | 2027 MN for this next find, and I’m pumped to report that we have another must-watch prospect out of the SW MN talent factory that is Marshall High School. Meister is the unicorn 6’6 DB I have always dreamt about, and even if he’s a couple inches off that reported measurement, you still have a DB in the top-tier, mouth-watering, eye-popping size department that scouts and college coaches fall head over heels over. Meister had a good showing in the Class 4A state semifinal game between Marshall and eventual champion Becker, catching the eye of PRzMN and igniting some serious search for more info on the potential big-time DB prospect.

Meister is also a good hooper for the Tigers, and the same thing that makes him so intriguing is also his biggest flaw right now, and that is that no one has any verified information on the Marshall product. However, his physical traits and ability are staring at you right in the face on tape, and it’s not hard to figure out that his athleticism and upside look up there with any other 2027 in the state. Meister displays decent bend for a taller CB who can gain depth in his backpedal, swivel and unlock his hips, and high-point the ball out of the air and right on top of a WR’s outstretched arms. He shows his top-end speed with a nice chase down of a loose Fairmont ball carrier as the last pursuer from his backside CB position, and is overall a lanky, eye-catchingly tall, long, and overwhelming 6’6ish corner. A ballhawk with a big catch radius – the second play of his sophomore tape sees him pluck a one-handed INT right out of the air like he had glue on his gloves. He demonstrates the speed to carry WRs deep, can track and play the deep ball while staying in a receiver’s hip pocket, and doesn’t waste steps in his backpedal and footwork. Meister can also attack and beat blocking attempts with proper leverage and is a good tackler out on the perimeter, and he does a good job of dropping and working under corner and deep routes as a zone defender and nabbed himself a couple INTs due to that capability. I am itching to see this Top Newcomer live and in person ASAP.
