Along with Hawley’s Charlie Steer Charlie Steer 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Hawley | 2027 State MN , Marshall’s 2027 DB/WR Jayden Meister is one of the best kept secrets in Minnesota’s junior class right now. Coming in at a verified 6’6, 175+, Meister put up quite an athletic performance at one of SDSU’s prospect camps last fall, and although he missed a significant amount of 2025 due to a lower body injury, Meister’s tape from his junior season is still memorable, to say the least. A 6’6 cornerback surely sears an imprint into a scout’s brain, and Meister looks ridiculously long on tape – Slenderman-long in fact, and the Marshall/SW Minnesota Stars hooper comes in at #91 in the PrepHoops 2027 Rankings, despite missing his junior hoops season to injury.

Meister, at least on the gridiron, is still a bit raw, and I can’t get a good read on his bendiness or ability to weave and gain depth in his backpedal, as well as transition, though I know he’s not likely to play cornerback at the next level. However, there are reps of him man-turning and staying in the pocket of WRs working vertically, so I feel like he can turn it on when he needs to. Safety, if he can retain his speed post-injury, but linebacker seems like the obvious choice given the sheer amount of weight you can put on him in a college S&C and nutrition program.

The 6’6 standout is strong in the air, and his length and core strength help him high-point and not get bodied out of position when playing the ball in the air. Meister is a violent tackler who comes into contact with intention and physicality, and he also fights to stay upright and will scratch and claw to earn yardage with the ball in-hand. Meister is a smooth block defeater thanks to the length, quickness, and physicality, an effective pass disrupter out of zone coverages and zone reads/breaks, and displays great contact balance and burst after the catch. I’m sure the injury isn’t helping the offer come, so it looks like it may be a Summer Camp SZN performance to break Meister into the D1 category of prospects, so make sure you stay tuned with PRZMN!
