Shelby-Rising City’s Jett Vrbka Jett Vrbka 6'2" | 185 lbs | DB/ATH Shelby-Rising City | 2027 State NE joins the rankings as one of the highest-rated 8-man players in this upcoming class. Jett had a very productive junior season, recording 91 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery. Jett is a very versatile player who I can see as a key defensive chess piece, with experience at cornerback, safety, and linebacker. Vrbka has the speed and athleticism to stick with receivers on the perimeter and the ball skills to challenge them at the catch point. His high football IQ helps him read and diagnose plays in a flash, while his top-tier closing speed makes him a threat to take the ball back the opposite way. You can also slip him into an LB/S hybrid role where he steps into the box to help stuff opposing running backs and rush the passer. Vrbka was also a big contributor on offense, where he posted 641 rushing yards, 271 receiving yards (team leader), six rushing touchdowns, and seven receiving touchdowns. High ceiling player who is already drawing attention from big-time programs!
