One of the smaller players to make this PRzMN Hardest Hitters feature, 5’10, 185 lb. Concordia Academy free safety Kellen Quast has some of the biggest hits of the tape I watched to research this article. It’s safe to say he’s pound-for-pound for one of the hardest hitters in MN, and I’m sure his accomplishments in the weight room are a big part of the success. In early March, Quast maxed out at a 465 lb. squat, 285 lb. power clean, and 250 lb. bench press to make the 1,000-pound club, and before those numbers were posted he earned a Winona State junior day invite from OL coach Trevor Olson. He is a beast from the defensive secondary and opens his tape with a massive hit on a slant route in the MOF that ragdolls the TE five yards backfield, and follows it up with a feisty hit where he takes the pass catchers feet out from under him while he’s in the air, flipping his horizontal and bouncing off the turf in painful fashion. You can tell he loves contact and knows how best to use his body in different tackling situations, which includes putting his hat on the ball, and he also excels as a blocker and will run his face through an opponent around the LOS and knock him into the turf off the initial pop or after only one or two more steps. Quast’s biggest hits come when an unprepared WR comes over the middle, and the highlight reel hits he produces could easily fit into a popular compilation of big hits on Youtube. He still had huge hits come over the two-minute mark of his highlights, so I’m very comfortable stating he’s one of the hardest hitters in Minnesota and a kid I would love to have on my team and hate to go against. Can’t wait to see him smash people as an even stronger senior!
