Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Kellen has long impressed us with his size and athleticism. The way he can move in the trenches and beyond have made him a dynamic tool for opening up lanes. However, as a senior Kellen has taken a big leap in the strength category. His recent highlights are littered with plays that end in him pancaking DL. Many times it is from the initial strike. When that does work the big man pairs his size, athleticism, and power to plow DL off the line until they end up on their backs. Kellen is long, powerful, and still decently lean for 275 lbs. The ceiling and potential is so high for the senior out of Whitefish Bay. Dive into his tape and come get a steal.

I thought I was already a fan of Kellen, but after another reviewing of his tape it was easy to move him even further up our boards. The 4 year varsity starter looks the part of what I would say is at least a D2 level OL. A 6’4” 275 lbs frame that is equally athletic as it is strong. Kellen is blessed with mobility and flexibility that come together to give him range and the ability to win every leverage battle. Give a kid with Kellen’s size and strength the leverage advantage and you will see a dude that can drive any DL off the ball. Turn on the tape and you will see it in action over and over. Kellen is the type of OL that gives your team the upper hand. He holds offers from Duluth and Sioux Falls. His early season tape should bring a swarm of teams joining them because he is one of the best in the state.

Another Top 100 stud is Whitefish Bay’s 6’4″ 275 lbs offensive tackle. Based off the junior tape, I believe the 2026 has the not only the size and power, but the mobility to be able to play out at OT at the next level. Kellen’s ability to play laterally, get up to level 2 or cut off a DL looks so easy. He is flexible, fluid, and carries his size so naturally and then when he gets to his target you see the heavy hands. Like a boxer, Kellen’s initial strikes have some impressive highlights as he is able to put kids on their backs at first contact. If they don’t end up checking out the stadium lights you will see Kellen running them away from the gap the offense is attacking. The junior OT is a very well balanced recruit that needs far more attention.
