Big-time start to his junior season for 2028 NRHEG tailback and multi-phase contributor Sean Lasshan. The junior tallied 117 yards and 4 TDs in NRHEG’s tight 42-37 win over Sleepy Eye United, and the multi-sport standout has a really fun skillset and game as a tailback, especially in the open field. The deadly combination of traits in his game could make for some outstanding production and film in the small school ranks of MN prep football in 2026.

Skillset:

great vision, mean stiff arm

strong, dangerous, effective in the open field with ball in-hand

great hands out of the backfield

sets defenders up thanks to his nifty footwork in 1v1 situations

burst

packs a punch for his size

NRHEG has one of the most impressive classes across Class 2A with 6 players from the team being listed among our ranking system. Sean Lassahn Sean Lassahn 5'8" | 160 lbs | RB/LB New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva | 2028 State MN scored the highest rank of the group currently, emerging as a viable RB/LB prospect. Lassahn has flashy speed running the ball, showing a quick burst upon receiving the carry and showing great agility and top-end speed around the edge. At LB, Lassahn does an excellent job knowing when to attack, using his size and speed to fit through smaller gaps, and making strong efforts to stop the play, even when the ball is on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Lassahn should see a much bigger role for NRHEG on both sides of the ball next season.

First off, apologies for Lassahn’s school being listed as “NREHG” instead of “”NRHEG“, I did not create his profile myself. Either way, New Richland-Hartland–Ellendale-Geneva has an exciting freshman on their hands in 2028 5’7, 160 lb. RB/LB Sean Lassahn Sean Lassahn 5'8" | 160 lbs | RB/LB New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva | 2028 State MN , who posted 26 tackles and a TFL in 2024, as well as 15 carries for 128 yards and 2 TDs. Lassahn’s varsity success can be partly attributed to his weight room success, where he reports a 245 lb. bench and 350 lb. squat. The freshman put some good things on tape on both sides of the ball in 2024, but I really like his offensive juice, where he displays the speed to take the edge on a defense and some elusiveness in the open field. The 160 lber. does a good job of seeing space and bouncing the rock outside when the blocking requires it, and he will run behind his pads but also possesses suddenness when he sticks his foot in the ground and makes a move laterally. As a LB, the freshman shoots gaps and closes on ball carriers with pace, and showed a little bit of pop when he put his pads on a RB. I’m excited to see how the Southern Minnesota freshman gets after it this offseason.
