Oakland headlines the Northfield defense and continues to prove why he’s one of Minnesota’s most dominant linemen. Long, strong, and active, he’s playing unblockable football through the first stretch of the season. At 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Oakland pairs college-ready length with elite get-off, exploding off the line before most blockers can react. His first step is consistently the fastest on the field, allowing him to collapse pockets and chase plays down from the backside. Over his past two games, Oakland has posted 1.5 sacks, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 12 total tackles. He’s also disrupted throwing lanes with three batted passes, caught four balls for 50 yards on offense, and forced five holding penalties as blockers struggled to contain his length and power. His ability to disengage and redirect makes him equally effective against the run and pass. Oakland converts speed to power effortlessly and stays disciplined in pursuit, maintaining leverage while still playing with violence. As an SDSU commit, he brings leadership and professionalism that set the tone for Northfield’s front and elevate everyone around him.
