Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Stuefen checks in as the No. 3 defensive lineman and the 42nd-ranked player overall in Iowa’s 2028 Class according to the latest Prep Redzone rankings. He turned heads as a sophomore last fall, registering 21.0 tackles, 11 of which were solo stops. Stuefen produced 5.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. The 10th-grade highlight video lends insight into his talents beyond the statistics. Playing D-End on a three-person front, Stuefen is a high-motor operator. He’s in constant motion and does it with efficiency. Stuefen moves well laterally and in a straight line. Active hands help Stuefen fight off blocks or separate from them if he becomes engaged. His frame is such that it can comfortably add good weight without the loss of agility. We should see a jump forward from the Cougar junior this season.
