Violence. Violence. Violence. Orono junior nickel Lucas La Belle Lucas La Belle 5'10" | 180 lbs | LB/DB Orono | 2027 State MN ‘s junior highlights are so mean, physical, and nasty that they have left an enduring mark and imprint on PRZMN, whose brain and memory is already naturally predisposed to remembering hard hitters from the Land of 10,000 Lakes. La Belle is fresh off a recent evaluation by PRZM (which can be found here) highlighting his game as a recent New Addition and Top Newcomer to the 2027 PRZMN Ranking’s Big Board, but we had to circle back here just to focus on La Belle‘s bone-crunching tackle ability in 2025. La Belle’s tape is one of the harder hitting not just in MN’s 2027 class, but also in our overall time scouting Minnesotans, as he

La Belle is no doubt the pound-for-pound hardest hitters in all of Minnesota, regardless of age, size, or position. The nickel/SS/OLB hybrid brings some serious strength, power, pop, and physicality into contact and can force you into the turf in a variety of different ways. Dump tackles, slams, no-wrapped, shoulder-leading, put-you-straight-on-your-butt pops, or high-quality form tackles, when La Belle puts the pads on you, you are going to the turf. And HARD. La Belle can stonewall RBs in their tracks with so much force it literally lifts them off their feet and airborne, and he runs through RBs with so much power off so little momentum that you’d have thought a 225-pounder just popped that helpless RB to the floor in ragdoll-esque fashion. La Belle naturally forces turnovers in the tackles thanks to the velocity he enters contact with, flattens RBs in dominant fashion at the contact point, and knows how to use his natural leverage advantage and momentum he brings into contact to his aggressive favor. Talk about a fun watch! This dude can hit.
