The current #1 biggest in-season recruiting stock riser from the ongoing 2025 season here in Minnesota, Shakopee’s Nehemiah Ombati Nehemiah Ombati 6'3" | 275 lbs | DL Shakopee | 2027 State MN is having a breakout junior season in the 6A ranks this fall. Currently 4th on the team in tackles with 40, 4th in TFLs with 3, and first in forced fumbles (2), Ombati is the lone Minnesotan to earn his first P4 offer this fall, hearing from the always-MN-friendly Iowa State in early September. Shakopee High School has been a popular destination for D1 coaches the past few cycles, but never more so than with their two-headed P4-monster of Blake Betton Blake Betton 6'3" | 185 lbs | DB Shakopee | 2027 State MN and now Ombati, a long-time frontrunner in the 2027 class who was first seen live at a LOScrimmage event back last winter. Every time we saw this kid after that he seemed to have made significant strides in his development, finally putting things together and culminating in a fantastic summer camp szn that resulted in offers from North Dakota State, South Dakota State, all long-time believers and supporters of Minnesota-bred talent.

Ombati, in his first year with the 6A defending semifinalist, has been a force around Metro-area line of scrimmages, popping up all over the field thanks to his energy, consistent ability to penetrate, and playmaking ability. As a 3T, 2i, or true NG, Ombati opens his tape with a WWE-style suplex of a TFL to start his 2025 midseason tape off with a bang, and he possesses a strong base and can create noticeable separation when he locks out and extends his arm at first contact. Good pad level off the snap and delivers and works through contact with power, and displays the upper body strength and hand usage to disengage from would-be blockers and not get tied up around the LOS in run defense. The 6’3, 265 lber. is twitchy, and he showed off his developed bag of pass-rush moves, as well as instincts, in some pass-rushing reps in his 1-4 midseason tape. High-energy, loves to celebrate, plays with intensity and confidence, relentless motor that has no issues – both athletically and effort-wise – chasing and hawking down ball carriers 10-20 yards downfield, and a bull at the contact point. He needs to get his sack number up, but the tape is looking good through the midseason point. Great move by the Cyclones getting in early!
