We’ve been high on 2026 Logan DL Rob Ball for a long time now, and colleges need to start taking notice of his ability now that he’s a senior. He’s quiet on social media, so he may have picked up several offers to date, but Ball is a definite D2-level talent who could develop into a future stud at that level. Ball is an excellent interior defensive line prospect who could play 0-3 tech in college. He’s a big, physical athlete with a lot of power behind his 6’3 285 frame, but also has underrated athleticism for a player his size. Ball is having a great first four games for the undefeated Wildcats, and should have every D2 program in the state after his services.
