Expert Analysis

Mark Johnson

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Another great performer coming in from Minnesota is the Champlin Park LB. Heinen checked in at 6’1″ 205 lbs, hit a broad jump of 9’6″, vertical of 36.6.” and a 4.75 40 yard dash. That powerful burst and straight line speed have made him a dominant downhill defender. It has made him very productive with 15 TFLs and 3 sacks. His timing maximizes that lower body power. Matthew sniffs out the ball quickly and closes rapidly on the ball. Heinen turns that burst into both hit power and the power to bull rush OL. Don’t sleep on the powerful LB.

At 6’1, 210 lbs., Champlin Park Rebel linebacker Matthew Heinen is yet another standout and well-built LB from this 2024 class and is going into his third year starting in the varsity LB room of the Rebels. An All-District HM pick in 2022 who holds a 4.09 GPA, Heinen posted 51 tackles, 15 TFLs, and 3 sacks as a junior and is sure to best those numbers during his upcoming senior campaign. Concordia-St. Paul, Winona State, Northern Illinois, and St. Thomas have gotten junior day visits from the Rebels LB this offseason as well. #40 reads his keys and finds, reacts, and flows to the ball quickly and smoothly, and is also a strong kid who eat and bounce off blocks well and deliver some bone-crunching hits on ball carriers. Heinen is a good combination of speed and strength with a high motor and the ability to pursue and run down plays way out on the edge of his defense. This won’t be the last Champlin Park prospect mentioned in this PRzMN feature, so Rebel fans, stay tuned!
