About Lane
Expert Analysis
Eliot Clough | Prep Redzone Scout
One of just two seniors on this list is Lane Mitchell Lane Mitchell LB Lawtonbronson | 2026 State IA , who also plays baseball and wrestles for Lawton-Brownson in northwest Iowa. Despite more contribution from his teammates on the defensive side of the ball for the Eagles, Mitchell was also the leader in tackles far and away for LB. He finished with 75.5 total tackles last fall, with two, now-graduated teammates finishing with roughly 50. He was a major asset in the run-game, as Mitchell often found ways to plug gaps in the opposing offensive line to stop ball-carriers in their tracks.
He also finished with two interceptions.

Lawton-Bronson has a pretty solid 2026 group that has already contributed big time. Among that group was linebacker Lane Mitchell Lane Mitchell LB Lawtonbronson | 2026 State IA , who had a spectacular sophomore season in which he racked up 43.5 tackles (tied for 2nd on team), 7.5 TFLs, and two sacks. We couldn’t get film on Lane, but seeing his early production gives us tons of optimism about him going forward. I expect Lane to make the rankings sooner rather than later.
