Stats: 232 Rushing Yards, 4 TDsrnThe 6’3″ 210 lbs senior RB is a massive prospect, and for another season he is proving to be a massive piece of a talented River Falls offense. Jonah piled up big plays after big play on Friday night. He was a north-south, downhill runner, and showed off the power as he ripped through arm tackles without barely being slowed down. Jonah has an upright running style, but it doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to pile up the yards after contact. Plus he has the speed to pull away in the open field with his second gear. The senior has the size, athleticism, and strength to help a college team in multiple ways. Don’t overlook the senior.

Another big back option for college coaches is the River Falls athlete. The 6’3″ 210 lbs ’24 has a massive frame that should also get him looks at positions such as OLB. On offense though, Jonah proved he could be a workhorse. The long striding, north-south runner relies on power, vision, and straight line speed to make his impact. He is a patient runner who does a great job of following his blocking. Once past his lead blocker, Jonah has surprising speed to pull away in the open field. He also is strong and has good balance despite his long frame. It will be interesting to see which position Jonah is recruited as. He gives a team options.

Jonah may be better viewed as an ATH instead of a pure RB. The 6’3″ 200 lbs prospect has the size and physicality for the RB or LB positions. Jonah doesn’t shy away from contact, and on some plays it looks like he chooses contact. That is why I believe he can play LB at the next level as well. He has the stoutness and strength to be a sound tackler and run stuffer. He has a long frame that could be utilized off the edge too. At RB, Severson sees the field very well. He doesn’t have the game breaking speed, instead he is able to find blocks and set up tacklers. There is a role for Jonah at the next level. I’m excited to see who the first coaching staff will be that sees it.

Stats: 31 Carries, 172 Yards, 3 TDsrnI watched this River Falls team in person. It was a week when Jonah was out, and it was very clear that the offense wasn’t the same without him on the field. Jonah is a 6’2″ 200 lbs workhorse of a tailback. He is a downhill, powerful back who doesn’t spend much time juking defenders. He can make the subtle jukes to make a defender miss, but he is best when he can run behind his pads. Jonah also has the vision to allow him to get the most yards before contact. That combination of vision for yards before contact, and power to gain yards after allows him to be a tone setter in the run game. Severson punishes defensive front sevens. I’m excited to get him in the rankings.
