PRZMN is quite bullish on 2028 Mankato East QB Kellen Willaert Kellen Willaert Kellen Willaert 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB/DB Mankato East | 2028 MN , and you’ll see the 507 sophomore quarterback make an impressive debut on the upcoming 2028 ranking’s update this coming month. Willaert has now impressed in both padded and unpadded, game and camp settings, and he one of the better arms in attendance in terms of accuracy, release, and mechanics, not to mention consistency, in addition to a great frame that is going to be able to hold significantly more weight as he enters his upperclassman and eventual college QB eras. Willaert was more than hanging with upperclassmen arms at the 612Q’s Elite Academy, and although you could tell that being outside of the pocket and on the move wasn’t his natural and most comfortable setting, he was flashing some very impressive throws from challenging angles and settings, but it was obvious by the delivery and end-product when Willaert was locked into his mechanics or not. The Mankato East sophomore also threw a couple really impressive sail routes near the end of the workout, solidifying our overall positive impression of the young and up-and-coming gunslinger who helped engineer one of East’s best seasons in modern program history.
