The state leader in tackles so far this season with 47.5, Nick Milburn Nick Milburn 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Newton | 2027 State IA has only continued to ascend after posting over 100 tackles during his sophomore campaign for Newton.

A Jay Higgins or Jack Campbell type tackler for the Cardinals, all Milburn does is play physical, plug holes in the opposing defensive line and stop ball-carriers in their tracks, racking up tackle after tackle after tackle.

Milburn may not rank among the Power 4 prospects of Gavin Stecker Gavin Stecker 6'3" | 200 lbs | LB Bettendorf | 2027 State IA and Tate Wallace Tate Wallace 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Regina | 2027 State IA , but he’s out-producing them so far this season, and he appears on track to keep doing so. With six more games to go in the regular season and the playoffs to follow, the state of Iowa may have a defender exceed 150 tackles in one fall. He’s on pace to nearly reach that number before the end of the regular season.
