About Justin
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
We last evaluated Ehlers back in April. That means the profile needs updating with what he showed us as a sophomore for a team that made it back to the UNI-Dome, this year in a larger class. He posted 34.5 tackles, 32 of which were solo stops. Ehlers added a pair of tackles for loss, a forced fumble, two interceptions, including a Pick-6, and three passes defended. He averaged 20.9 yards on seven kick returns. On top of all that, Ehlers completed six of eight passes and averaged 4.0 yards on three carries. He added 10 pounds to his frame since the last update. Ehlers looks the part of a next-level defensive back. We saw that in the state semifinals against Pella, when he racked up seven solo tackles, including a stop for loss. Ehlers thrives as a cornerback on this level, as we can see throughout his 10th-grade highlight video. He’s sticky in coverage with fluid actions in changing directions. There’s also a path to being a college safety here.
