Expert Analysis

This was an interesting performance to watch. As you can see, we think very highly of Noah as a DL. However, at UWRF we watched Noah compete at OL. Great to see the Hudson athlete is open to playing either side of the ball at the next level. Even better to see him prove that he can get it done at OL. The 6’5″ lineman is now up to 270 lbs and with those long arms I can’t argue that he does look the part of an OL. It was impressive to see how much of a natural he was in pass pro. He did well to stay balanced and patient so that he could stay in a position where he could deliver strong punches. Noah is light on his feet and did well sliding and changing direction reacting to the pass rusher. Plus we also saw that he had no issues flexing his strength in the board drills vs DL. The Hudson standout lineman definitely can play either side of the trenches based off what we saw at the camp. That is only going to improve how we feel about him. Get on this kid before it is too late.

Hudson High School had a very strong showing across the border in Minneapolis, both in the trenches on the perimeter. Although Noah Dunaway Noah Dunaway 6'5" | 250 lbs | DL Hudson | 2027 State WI is new to PRZMN’s radar, the DE is far from unfamiliar to PRZWI lead scout Mark Johnson, and I can see why Dunaway is ranked is the 50s in our border state’s 2027 class. Dunaway is a big, strong, powerful kid, and he knows how to use his size and strength effectively in a competitive setting. Dunaway put a couple of OL on skates during the Board Drill and 1v1s, and he also flashed a good get-off, twitch, standout hand placement, and a good understanding of leverage, not to mention good pad level at his height, during his multitude of 1v1 wins. Somehow, Drake is Dunaway’s only offer right now. The Bulldogs offered after Dunaway’s performance at the PJ Fleck RTB Prospect Camp. Expect more offers to roll in soon.

Noah was an impressive DL in 2025, and looks like he should be even better in 2026. He played at 250 lbs in 2025 and is currently listed at 265 lbs. That added size is going to make him even more stout in the trenches. I love the hand use that you see from play to play on his tape. Hands inside, power to create and maintain separation, and then the quickness to clear the OL and then burst into the backfield to get after the football. In the run game you see that he can also hold his ground and his gap pretty well at 250 lbs, so that extra 15 lbs or more will boost that too. Don’t miss out on this big, versatile DL.

We wrote about Noah being in line to shake up our rankings, but even I wasn’t expecting him to debut as DL2. But after watching the tape it couldn’t be denied. Noah is long, strong, and has so much room on that frame to continue to fill out into an interior monster at the next level. Noah has dominating power on the interior, quickly getting hands on and forcing separation without giving an inch of ground to the OL. He uses that huge frame to see into the backfield, find the ball, and then violently sheds blocks. Noah separates himself from other big IDL with the athleticism and range he plays with once he gets into the backfield. Big things are ahead of this kid. His up this list might be just beginning.
