The Hawley Nuggets have some fun 2027s whose tape, resume, and athleticism has earned them a promotion from the Watchlist to the PRZMN 2027 Ranking’s Big Board thanks to a second evaluation by yours truly. Up first is the electric RB Linkoln Midthun Linkoln Midthun 5'8" | 160 lbs | RB Hawley | 2027 State MN , an explosive, versatile weapon who produced some fun tape and highlights from the 2025 season. Midthun displays good vision and burst as a ball carrier, as well as some shifty start/stop ability in the open field, which sent a couple pursuing DBs sprawling off their feet like crush dummies in what was a memorable first highlight by the Hawley Nuggets two-way standout. The 160 lber. can get open and take the top off the defense, as well as track and play the deep ball while DB’s flail around around, as well as go up and high-point the football and win 50/50 ball and contested catch situations on DBs, especially in the endzone. Midthun will run behind his pads, owns the speed to see and exploit defenses when a gap appears, and owns juice in the open field and a nose for the endzone. Would be an excellent fit for a DIII, NAIA, or local JUCO, and I would LOVE to get some verified athletic numbers on the Hawley product at April 18th’s PRZMN Spring Exposure Series stop in Plymouth!
