Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
There were a lot of QBs and ways we could look at this category. In the end I wanted a signal caller with experience making good decisions and protecting the football. Wade 2nd all time in TD Passes in WI, 3rd in Passing Yards, and has the most completions in State History. Despite the massive production and years upon years of games, Wade’s most important stats is that he never had double digit INTs. The most he has ever thrown in a year is 8 and overall he has a 92:24 TD:INT ratio. That is almost 4 TDs for every 1 INT. That type of success while protecting the ball is vastly needed for our Perfect QB Build. I love this addition to our build!

There are still quality senior QBs available here in WI, and one of the athletes at the top of the list is dual threat

. The 4 year varsity starter has put together an outstanding career including 92 passing TDs (T-2nd Most All Time), almost 8,300 passing yards (3rd All Time), and 10,000 all purpose yards (5th All Time). The ’25 produces and wins and he has been doing it for his entire 4 years at Lourdes Academy.
The 6’1″ 200 lbs senior does a great job maximizing his athleticism. He has the speed to kill a defense with his legs. Wade will break off the long TD run, then on the next drive use his legs to buy time while keeping his eyes downfield. He has a great handle on when to make a play with his legs and when to use them to give him guys time downfield. When he goes to the air you will be hard-pressed to find a QB with more touch to all three levels of the field. Wade can place the ball where his man can go make a play on it without the risk being too high. Lindahl has a great grasp of his offense and I believe he will be able to learn quickly at the next level. Give the senior steal a look.

Lourdes Academy had to battle to qualify for playoffs, and now here they are getting ready for Sectional Championships. Leading the way is the rock solid, reliable senior QB

. Wade did a ton of damage this week while throwing on the run and making throws from off platform positions. It is clear over the years that Wade doesn’t need to have his feet set to be able to deliver accurate passes with the touch needed to beat a defense. He has all the poise you could want in a QB. Wade has no problem using his athleticism to buy time or get away from a defender. The senior was surgical in the big win. Check out the highlights from the week!

I love to see Wade and Lourdes Academy in the playoffs. Wade has been the QB of this team since he was a freshman, and now as a senior we are watching the dual threat carve up defenses with his arm and legs. Through the air Wade is a precision passer. From the pocket, or on the run, Wade is able to dominate with his accuracy and overall ball placement. The senior knows when to use touch and when he needs to get more into the ball to beat a closing window. On the ground we see that Wade definitely has the speed to be an impact and his ability to run through contact was a pleasant surprise to see on multiple carries. Most importantly, the senior is a pass first athlete. You don’t see him quit on the play too early. Check out the highlights on one of the top available QBs.

Wade is a must include when it comes to predicting who will lead the state in passing TDs. He has 68 passing TDs through the first three years as a varsity starter, including 25 last year. Every year he has thrown more pass attempts than the year before, so the opportunities should be there for him to build on that already impressive number of 25. Another reason I expect a huge year from Wade is he is also the leading rusher from 2023, so the focus of the offense is all on Wade. Keep an eye on the Lourdes Academy standout. He is going to be putting on a show this fall.

Good luck finding a player with more varsity experience going into this fall than QB

out of Lourdes Academy. The 6’1″ 200 lbs QB is very productive and efficient. He is responsible for a large chunk of the team’s offensive output and delivers on a weekly basis. While he may not have the elite size Wade has found ways to play to his strengths. First and foremost is by continuing to work to be extremely mechanically sound. Every rep from the pocket looks the same from his feet to his release. That consistency and attention to detail has made his an extremely accurate passer to every level of the field. He finished 2023 completing 70% of his passes on nearly 300 attempts. Those mechanics allow him to maximize the velocity he puts on the ball as well, and that helps open up every level of the field for him as well. Lindahl definitely needs more eyes on him. He is on the hunt for that first offer. Check out the film and get eyes on him during camp season.

Wade is a junior, but the 2025 has been slinging it for Lourdes Academy for a while now. His most recent season ended with 2,131 yards, and 25 TDs. Even more importantly, Wade completed an elite 70% of his passes. While Wade doesn’t have elite size at 6’1″ 190 lbs, he does have a next level arm. Lindahl is another prospect who seems to have been coached up well. The junior works through progressions, keeps his feet and eyes connected as he moves through the reads, and has the efficient, sharp mechanics needed at the QB position. Wade’s ability to place the ball with spot on accuracy separates him from the crowd. His receivers are able to catch the ball in stride. Lindahl also has enough arm strength to hit all three level so the field. This is going to be a player to watch in 2024. I’m expecting a strong finish to his HS career.

Stats: 18/21, 302 Yards, 5 TDsrnOne of WI’s most efficient and accurate passers put his talents on full display in Week 3. The Lourdes Academy junior carved up the defense for some big numbers. The QB showed off the poise making multiple deep throws while staring down the barrel at pressure or free rushers. The accuracy looks as strong as ever too. He pairs it with the touch to be able to drop it in a bucket or place it just over the outstretched hands of a DB/LB. Wade plays with sharp technique overall too. The feet and eyes move together, and he is able to maintain his accuracy outside the pocket on the move. Wade is a QB to keep an eye on over the next year. He has put together a strong HS career, thus far.

I am a big fan of the Lourdes Academy signal caller. The sophomore is a master of his offense. He knows where his guys are at on every play, and works through progressions quickly to find the best option. Wade is also a technician. His footwork is sharp. He has a quick, smooth drop, keeps his cleats in the ground and throws from a strong base. Lindahl also has next level arm talent. He understands when he needs to attack the defense with touch and when he needs to let it rip. Both of which he does well, especially his touch and ball placement. Wade also has the athleticism to be able to buy time in the pocket, and can break loose for some chunk plays on the ground. His junior year is going to be must watch.
