Thomas Mceachern Thomas Mceachern 6'3" | 180 lbs | ATH Zimmerman | 2026 State MN (Zimmerman) ATH – Saw his stock rise from #33 to #20 in the Minnesota 2026 rankings.

13-spot climb for Zimmerman Thunder 6’4, 175 lb. athlete Thomas Mceachern, and the Thunder are in early contention for the top 2026 class in Minnesota as well. Mceachern was a standout performer at December’s PRzMN Stock-Up Showcase, measuring in at 6’4, 163 pounds, and running a 4.63 in the 40 and jumping 9’1 on the broad, and the tape shows off a dynamic, playmaking, and naturally elusive ball carrier with some real talent in the open field. I remember Mceachern’s freshman tape had similar vibes, but he’s done a great job of transitioning to varsity ball, and now that I have some verified numbers on him, I feel a lot better about putting him in the top tier of the class.

Mceachern has a solid arm and can move his offense with his passing ability, but his future collegiate position is elsewhere, and I could see him potentially playing a few positions at the next level. This is a good thing, and to add to his dynamic ability and skillset, the 6’4 sophomore also possesses an accomplished basketball background. His long legs and strong lower body help him stay upright and balanced through contact, and he’s a twitchy and sudden ball carrier who is very fun to watch forcing missed tackles and making defenders miss. The 6’4 QB shows good burst, and good vision, will run behind his pads when needed, and shows excellent scrambling ability when he’s buying time and improvising behind the LOS. The only real improvement I can think of is generally increasing his speed, as I’d like to see Mceachern finish more of these big runs he creates, but there’s still visible speed on tape and when you play QB you do get told to save your body and be conscious about contact. I have no clue where his future lies position-wise, but he’s one of the top playmakers in the class with ball in hand and I’m excited to see what happens.

PRzMN is pretty excited about some of the rising sophomores in the Zimmerman Thunder 2026 class. Leading the pack is 6’3, 160 lber. Thomas Mceachern Thomas Mceachern 6'3" | 180 lbs | ATH Zimmerman | 2026 State MN , who played QB and safety for the Thunder last fall in the non-varsity ranks. With a great frame and a ton of length that can hold an intriguing amount of increased weight, Mceachern showed off a dynamic skillset that created a ton of big plays for both his offense and defense in 2022. With burst, top-end, breakaway speed, vision, and a little bit of wiggle with the rock in-hand, he popped off some explosive TD runs that rarely saw him even touched by opponents, and in addition to the running ability, he showed soft hands, the ability to throw the rock, and dominance as a tackler as a MOF defender. If he had a good offseason, I could see him getting varsity reps somewhere on the field in 2023. Loads of potential in Mceachern!
