About Nolan
Expert Analysis
Prep Staff | Prep Redzone Scout
Iowa’s breakout player of 2025 has to be Nolan Kriegel of Iowa Valley. An 8-Man quarterback — if you could call him that — that does everything for the Tigers.
Kriegel is tied for the most total touchdowns in the state this season, putting up 48 scores in eight games. Those gargantuan numbers include ten passing scores (with zero interceptions), 121 carries for 1,407 yards and 33 touchdowns, three receptions for 87 yards and two scores, two kickoff returns for touchdowns and a 20-yard pick-six.
A man amongst boys on the field in Marengo, Iowa, Kriegel plays with a violence, speed, strength, and vision that isn’t often seen at the smallest-sized competition in the Hawkeye State. The 6’3″ and 180-pound athlete plows through opposing defenders, weaves his way through traffic in the open field and bursts through holes developed by his offensive line. Known to break a bevy of ankles on any given run or to smash through arm-tackles with ease, Kriegel has the makings of a small-town legend in Iowa.
He may not be the next NFL second-round draft pick like Cooper DeJean out of OABCIG, but he’ll be talked about as such through small communities in the eastern part of the state. And he’s only a junior.
