Expert Analysis
Ellis Williams | Prep Redzone Scout
In my opinion, the best running back in the state is a junior and hails from Hastings. Shatek opened his junior season with 215 yards on 35 carries and three touchdowns, including the game-winner with just over a minute left in Hastings’ 20-17 win over New Prague. He has clearly gained good weight after a productive summer, which included attending multiple Dakota camps and performing notably at a Wisconsin Badgers prospect camp, where he received a gameday invite this fall. Shatek displayed impressive conditioning, improving throughout the game. He notched his first catch and target on the final drive and then scored the game-winner two plays later from 11 yards out. Shatek is a decisive runner with verified track speed that shows up on tape.He hits creases quickly, gets downhill with urgency, and runs with balance through contact. He wins between the tackles and on the perimeter. He is Minnesota’s most complete running back and a home-run threat on every carry.
