Rise: #166 to #83

The hero of the D1 State Championship Game is another one of our biggest risers. The explosive athlete out of Arrowhead has elite speed, making him one of the fastest athletes in the state. He has a strong claim to the title of fastest in the state too. Ryan dominates at WR and special teams, either beating angles as a return man or quickly getting behind the secondary for field-flipping receptions. When it comes to matchup nightmares, Ryan is one of the toughest to plan for. Not many can run with him.

Stats: Game-Winning KR TD, 1 Reception, 17 Yards

It isn’t the most impressive raw stat line, but it was the difference in the D1 State Championship. There wasn’t a more clutch play than what Ryan did with :45 left in the game. The senior WR scooped up the kickoff, found an alley, and let his State Championship T&F speed. That speed, and his ball skills, has earned Ryan offers from multiple levels including an FCS offer. Ryan is an athlete that could literally change a game with a single touch and he did just that in the D1 State Championship. It was a moment people in attendance will never forget. I know I won’t. I can’t wait to see where this kid commits.

Speed, speed, speed! That is the name of the game when it comes to WR Ryan Heiman Ryan Heiman 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Arrowhead | 2026 State WI . The senior is a highly decorated T&F athlete, and he is an athlete who doesn’t lose a step when you put the pads on him. It seems like every week we are seeing a new reel of examples of how unfair that speed is as he zips past CBs like they are standing still. Making things even more difficult for DBs, Ryan also is able to setup DBs with fluid and effective route running. Ryan is able to get DBs to bite or take a wrong step and that is all the space he needs to get behind the entire defense. Check out the massive steal.

Speed, speed, and more speed. That is what Ryan brings to the field and that is what our Perfect WR Recruit needs to have. Ryan is a decorated track athlete who has also had succeed carrying that speed to the gridiron. The junior WR has 4.50 40 speed, and 10.67 100M dash speed. It is speed that can get our WR off the line and behind the defense before a safety can get across the field to make a stop. Ryan is a dangerous weapon with his speed. In 2024 he only was able to play two games yet scored 3 times and put up 240 all purpose yards. He is a game-breaking weapon.

Rankings Movement: #85 to #53

Another big mover was Arrowhead’s WR Ryan Heiman Ryan Heiman 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Arrowhead | 2026 State WI . A massive reason why has nothing to do with what he has done on a field this summer. More what he did on the track this spring. They say you can’t teach speed, so good luck finding someone that can come in and keep up with Ryan on the field because this kid can absolutely fly. He has a 10.69 100M time under his belt, and it carries over. His highlights have plenty of examples of him making DBs look like they are running in slow motion on the field as he breaks off big chunk plays. Ryan isn’t just a track athlete on the field though. We see him show off the soft hands on those deep downfield passes and flash quick hands in the short passing game. I can’t wait to see Heiman and the rest of this talented Arrowhead offense take the field this fall.

The fastest of the trio of Arrowhead Warhawks multi-sport standouts, speedsters, and rising junior prospects that helped AHS win the Wisconsin D1 outdoor track & field championship in 2024, WR Ryan Heiman Ryan Heiman 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Arrowhead | 2026 State WI has some real-deal jets. The 5’11, 155 lber. popped off an eye-catching 10.67 100M in late April of this past outdoor season, the second fastest 100M time in school history, and has added a couple of sub-23 second 200M times between the indoor and outdoor seasons. Heiman competed at the New Balance national tournament in June, and helped Arrowhead win the state title in the 4×1 and 4×2. He also popped off a 4.53 40 at this past spring’s PRzWI Combine Series Showcase, so it’s safe to say that the rising junior is fast.

Heiman, like his jet-fueled peers, can easily take the top off the defense and win reps vertically, and Heiman displays noticeable and impressive acceleration and burst, especially after the catch. He’s a good route runner, and I like how he cuts his routes off smoothly and suddenly and without rounding off at the top off the route, as well as gets defenders to open their hips and overcommit before breaking. The 155 lber. eats up off-man cushions like it’s his breakfast and is very dangerous to leave him 1v1, and if he gets a step on a CB who doesn’t have safety help he can crack your defense wide open. Heiman can slip through tackle attempts and shows off good balance after the catch as well, can cut at top speed, is able to contribute in the return game and create explosive plays in the kick and punt game, and displays strong hands and a big catch radius that can pluck the ball out of the air and away from his body. He has reps of him finishing TD receptions and runs without a defender within 10 yards of him, and is overall one of the better route runners and more explosive WR prospects in the Badger State. Should be a huge junior season for the burner from Hartland.
