Easily one of the best Minnesota performances we saw in the 2027 DL group on Thursday in Grand Forks came from Providence Academy’s Jon Wiseman Jon Wiseman 6'2" | 279 lbs | DL Providence Academy | 2027 State MN . Jon was mightly overpowering during the board drills I got to watch and was close to perfect in winning his 1v1s in Grand Forks on Thursday morning. He showed off great hand placement and I love the development he’s made since my last live eval of Jon as far as how agile his hands have become. He wasted no time generating power rep after rep on Thursday and constantly barried OLs backwards right on line with great angles. Just one D1 offer and a huge plethora of NSIC offers have come thru for Jon in the last couple of weeks as he’s surely been a camp riser on the summer camp circuit that you need to know now, not later.

Sticking with the 2027s here, as we once again dive into the growing-in-popularity Providence Academy defensive tackle Jon Wiseman Jon Wiseman 6'2" | 279 lbs | DL Providence Academy | 2027 State MN . Seems like we’ve been talking about the 6’2, 280 lber. more and more this spring, and for good reason, as Wiseman continues to make an effort to hit the offseason events trail hard and get in front of the eyes as as many college coaches and programs as possible. With verified size that fits in perfectly in the interior trenches, Wiseman has some serious twitch in his game, and is a nightmare for OL to handle in 1v1 settings. Starting with the LOS x Brute Free OL/DL/TE/LB camp, Wiseman has showed up and showed out at the PRzMN Combine Series, TrainingHAUS Combine, St. Olaf College Prospect Camp, and Augsburg Football Camp, earning top performer nods from PrepRedzoneMN at every camp and really building some experience and momentum going into the summer camp grind, which includes padded camps and 1v1 contests. Big, strong, physical, and quick, Providence Academy has another monster on their hands.

A recent discovery fresh onto PrepRedzoneMN’s radar, Providence Academy DT Jon Wiseman Jon Wiseman 6'2" | 279 lbs | DL Providence Academy | 2027 State MN is making quite the debut as a Top Newcomer on the 2027 Ranking’s Big Board. It looks like Providence Academy is trying their darndest to go nearly back-to-back recruiting cycles with a big-time DT prospect, and as I mentioned with the aforementioned Olson, big-bodied iDL prospects are as sought-after as they are rare on the recruiting trail, meaning Wiseman has all the tools to potentially gain the same kind of recruiting momentum as Minnesota Gophers-bound Abu Tarawallie Abu Tarawallie 6'4" | 260 lbs | DL Providence Academy | 2025 State MN . PRzMN was lucky enough to get some eyes on Wiseman at the recent LineofScrimmage x BRUTE OL/DL/LB/TE Free Camp at the TrainingHAUS, where he passed the eye test at his reported size while displaying wiggle, power, and technical ability as a beast of a rusher during his multiple 1v1 wins. He’s a good athlete with standout size as a sophomore, and the tape is also worth getting excited about, as Wiseman – working primarily as a 3T – displays a great get-off, can bend his hips, and fires off the ball with low pad level, and can get skinny through blocking attempts around the LOS. He does a good job of engaging, finding proper high placement, and then working a move to shed a block and get into the backfield tight off the iOL’s hip, and his great base and balance can withstand and absorb contact while holding his gap to disrupt an opponent’s run game, even against double teams. He displays strong hands, and a good motor pursues flat down the LOS, and flashes an effective chop/rip can force himself into the backfield through contact. Plus, he does a good job of keeping his feet active, finding and pursuing the rock, and eliminating the RB in the backfield. I’m hoping we can get this dude to the PRzMN Showcase in April.
