About Tristan
Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
A transfer from Rosemount High School, St. Thomas Academy QB1 Tristan Karl is has seen his stock grow in value exponentially since the 2025 season began in late August. Breakout star, in-season Stock Riser, QB1 of a 5A state championship contender, call Karl whatever you want, but you can’t deny the fact that he’s 4-0 and coming off the biggest win of his football career in last week’s takedown of then-#2 Chanhassen 28-13 in Mendota Heights. Karl isn’t stuffing the stat sheet, but he’s completed 68% of his passes on 37 attempts for 231 yards and 5 TDs to 0 INTs + 18 rushes for 125 yards and 1 TD, and has been instrumental in the Cadets 4-0 start and climb into the 5A state title conversation after the midseason point.
Karl throws a good ball on the move and off-platform and is safe with the football, as he shows some ball-placement ability and puts the rock where only his wideouts can get it. Additionally, the 185 lber. is very mobile, with great pocket awareness and scrambling ability that can buy time, extend plays, and really stretch the fringes of a defense and their individual assignments rep to rep. He’s a tough, sleek runner with some lateral agility and toughness at the contact point, and I’m hearing some chatter behind the scenes about his stock, production, skillset, and 2025 season performance finding some big-time regional eyes as of late. Keep an eye on Karl and the rest of the Cadets this season! Fun things happening in Mendota Heights.
