WDP definitely went as the pass game went, but Ryan did a great job of keeping the defense honest. They couldn’t pin their ears back and purely pass rush because as soon as they would the Phantoms could hand it off to Ryan and his quickness and agility would allow him to pick through the front seven and gain 4-5 yards at a time. The senior RB also did a great job of finishing short yardage carries, including both of his TD runs that occurred on the goal line. The senior dominates with his short area burst and agility. He is uncommitted and wrapping up an elite year of production alongside the Phantom passing attack. Check him out.

Ryan’s speed and contact balance highlighted every single play in his highlights from Level 3. The senior is so quick to get to his top gear once he hits the open field. Ryan also has so many examples from last week of his ability to play through contact thanks to his low center of gravity and power. Even at top speed Lutz was able to play through contact and maintain his feet on the way to huge plays. WDP has the best passing offense in the state, but Ryan has done a fantastic job week in and week out of keeping them balanced with his performances. Check out the senior RB.

West De Pere is well known for its passing attack and all the weapons that make up that part of their offense. What makes them even more dangerous is that in any week they also have a senior RB who could go off for a 3 TD performance. That is what Ryan did in Week 2. Watching him on tape I came away loving the way he attacks the defense. Ryan is always gaining yards. There is no wasted movement or dancing. Even if he is trying to get the edge you will still see him getting up field while doing it. The senior also repeatedly showed off the game-breaking speed that got him the edge on the defense over and over. Ryan’s low center of gravity was clutch on several big carries and receptions too. Not something you might expect from a 165 lbs back, but Ryan isn’t afraid to be physical. Don’t sleep on the senior.

West De Pere was a pass heavy offense in 2024. That is no secret. But where the secret might be is in the backfield helping keep defenses honest. RB Ryan Lutz Ryan Lutz 5'6" | 165 lbs | RB West De Pere | 2026 State WI is an interesting option as a change of pace back for the next level. At 5’6″ 165 lbs the ’26 RB did well running between the tackles. Ryan plays with explosive burst and agility that help him quickly attack those tight running lanes and slip through arm tackle attempts. The ’26 is an elusive runner in those tight quarters, and he also offers a threat as a check down option out of the backfield. Check out his cutups.
