Wangen has been nothing if not dominant throughout his senior season, and his Week 3 performances only exemplified that. He recorded three total touchdowns, two receptions from a little more than 20 yards out, and one rushing TD from just outside the 10. His impact wasn’t just limited to offense, however, because Wangen also showed out on special teams. He recorded a 2-point conversion run and went 2/2 on PATs.

Stewartville’s passing game exploded in 2024, and Parker Wangen Parker Wangen 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR Stewartville | 2025 State MN emerged as the go-to target for QB Ayden Helder en route to the Tigers winning their first high school football state championship in school history. Wangen’s growth over the course of the year ended up getting him signed to Minnesota State-Mankato at the end of July. Wangen possesses all the traits of a top WR: size, frame, physicality, smooth route-running, and a great win-rate on 50-50 balls. There is no doubt that Wangen will have a great future for the Mavericks, but for now, his task will be keeping the path straight for the Tigers’ offense as they transition under a new QB.

Wangen plays receiver and safety for the Tigers. The senior-to-be’s strengths on one side of the ball so easily translate over to the other side of the ball. His backpedal and his ability to break on the ball are about as smooth as you are going to see at this level. That skill set perfectly translates to his ability to explode out of his cuts and keep his feet in bounds on offense. That explosion out of his cuts allows him to use his speed to create separation on offense and – in turn – eat up separation on defense. He has solid ball skills that – I don’t have to explain – are essential on offense and a great bonus on defense.
