from the Class AA state champion JCC’s roster, as well as their fellow seniors, there are some serious shoes to fill going into next season. Lucky for the Huskies, there is both talent and beef returning for 2026, and PRZMN very much has our eyes on 2027 DL

. Measuring in at a reported 6’3-6’4 and 220+ pounds, Reipke was an All-Conference pick and an integral part of the Huskies state championship run, earning a visit from NDSU to the halls of Jackson County Central High School this offseason before heading up to Fargo for the Bison’s junior day in late January. Plus, he visited Dordt for a big visit for the NAIA out of the GPAC.
Reipke generally works from the interior of the DL and does have experience as a defensive tackle, including as a true NG, and was consistently able to disrupt and create production for his Huskies‘ defense. Reipke, with a nose for the football and a nonstop motor, was physically dominant all of 2025 and was generally stronger and able to man handle most defensive linemen he came across as a junior. With a big-time disruptive get-off, the JCC junior owns lead in his hands and can run OL deep into the backfield before easily shedding the block, locating the ball carrier, and making a dominant tackler for losses or neutral gains by the offense. Lots to like in this powerful package; I’d remember the name now if I was you.
