Sticking with Lakeville North Panthers for another mysterious/high-upside sophomore who got some serious tick on varsity as an underclassman. I’m always going to be enticed by Lakeville North defenders, especially at the LB position, where the Panthers have a tradition of excellence in producing aggressive, technically sound, and high-octane second-level defenders at a pronounced clip. The fact that Ruff produced so well as an underclassman – totaling 38 tackles, 2 TFLs, a sack, and 2 fumble recoveries on varsity – and received so much action on such a deep roster as LNHS’s is also a massive plus on Ruff’s athletic resume, but when you dig into his background and his success becomes much less surprising. Wrestling in the Big School upper weights, Ruff is a 2x entrant to the state wrestling tournament and is fresh off a 3rd place at 189AAA in a loaded bracket that was heavy on upperclassmen this winter. I love me some wrestling success in front-seven defensive prospects, and his functional athleticism, physicality, and competitiveness have to be well above his peers in order for him to have so much varsity success so young, and in his limited tape from the Panthers 2024 season you can see that, as a LB, Ruff takes good angles to the football, does a good job of working up and under blockers working to the second level and can also defeat blocks with physicality, and is a strong 1v1 tackler. Wish I had more tape and more measurables and athletic data, but we can hopefully clear up some of the mystery this April at the PrepRedzoneMN Showcase. Stay on the lookout for the Panthers 2027 class going forward!
