may be the most dangerous RB with the ball in his hands in Class 1A, and his performance against Missouri Valley proved no exception. Sternberg carried the ball just 10 times, totaling a staggering 179 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sternberg has also seen more time playing at QB over the last few weeks, in which he finished 4 of 11 for 44 yards and a touchdown pass in the win. Sternberg took a lot of designed draw-plays, which used his speed, vision, and range to his advantage, and he was just running all over Missouri Valley’s defense on Friday night. Sternberg currently leads the Class 1A region with 961 rushing yards, having done so on just 97 carries. Sternberg already holds two D1 offers and with how he’s been playing this season, he’s bound to receive more toward the end of the year.

Sternberg plays in all phases of the game, from a boundary and slot receiver on offense, an outside cornerback on defense, to a kick and punt returner on special teams. As a receiver, Sternberg uses his agility and athleticism to create separation effortlessly. He has great footwork throughout his routes and tops it off with impressive speed to get behind the defense. His hands are phenomenal, bringing in any pass thrown his way. On special teams, Sternberg’s speed translates to the return game, quickly getting the edge, turning up the field and blazing past defenders. When he gets the ball in his hands, he’s a tough runner that isn’t easy to bring down. He fights through arm tackles and can make defenders miss in the open field with quick cuts and agility. Regarding playing corner, Sternberg’s football IQ and ability to make adjustments are tremendous. Dropping into zone coverage, he’ll pass routes off, read the quarterback’s eyes, and quickly put himself in position to make a play on the ball. He has great ball skills, whether going for the pick or swatting the ball away. His loose hips and great footwork are noteworthy, bringing out his well-rounded game and overall athleticism. Sternberg will be one to keep an eye on next season, making game-changing plays in all phases of the game.
