Some probably wonder on why I tag as many people as I do with my articles at
@PrepRedzone
. The answer to that is ONE. It only takes ONE coach, ONE recruiter, ONE opportunity, ONE tweet or retweet, to possibly change a kid's life forever to play at the next level. That is my why.
2021 MN Seniors:
You will remember the last game of your high school career for the rest of your life. Make it count, leave it all on the field.

Best wings in America are in Aberdeen, South Dakota at
@CircusSportsBar
. I have eaten wings all over the country and these just hit the pallet from start to finish at an extraordinary level.
A lot to like about
@FairmontFB
OL
@SawyerTordsen
. Ran at a top level for his size (6’6 265) in the 40. Soft feet and runs like a deer on the turf. A scholarship level prospect in my eyes.
@PrepRedzoneMN
2020 was a wacky year, but started 2021 strong with my buying my first house. The mask was appropriate as I want to rally the neighborhood to say

frequently!
Year two is a wrap from my annual scouting trip to
@NDSUfbCamp

Standouts via Twitter & content standouts on
@PrepRedzone
will be brewing heavily over the next week or so from SDSU and NDSU camps, better stay tuned 🏈👀
Big thanks to the
@NDSUfootball
staff for having us again!
Probably one of the most under the radar Power 4 targets I have seen in our time in the Dakotas since we launched in 2020. Elias is also the first P4 commit in the 2025 South Dakota class as well.
Rapid City Stevens 2025 OL
@elias_gillen

Time to meet our
@PrepRedzoneMN
Showcase All-Camp Team 🏈 After hours and hours of evaluating, we came up with in our eyes the best 90+ prospects in the building in Maple Grove on Sunday from top to bottom.

Sending my prayers to
@dwtigerfootball
and the Wallace family.
@HadleyWallace24
was a great young man that I certainly remember his character shining bright at our showcases and college camps. May he RIP
You might as well book it right now,
@XzavionRobinso4
is the best 2025 prospect in the state of Iowa. This young man’s routes are just off the charts for being a 14 year old. Just an electric athlete these last two days.

Scouting Report:
-Agile & instinctive in short space
-Well-Balanced burst start to finish
-Very opportunistic
Somehow Viborg-Hurley DB
@Hayd3nGilbert
is still unsigned in the Class of 2022. Loved his aggressive ball instincts today in Fargo. Needs a lot more scholarship-level attention IMO. Just one NAIA and D2 offer with that super lengthy 6’3 195 pound frame.
That is wrap from the
@GoJacksFB
prospect camp!
Talent was thru the roof in both sessions, can’t wait to compile my notes from this one and unleash the standouts 👀🏈
The number

team in 6A in
@Crimsonfootball
had zero issues defending the NW Metro in their shutout last night against
@StmaFB
. Check out my recap on how they got it done against the Knights 👇
Simply put, our
@PrepRedzoneMN
QB1 in 2023 went off BIG.
I have to say that
@NorthstarAlex
got the best action shot ever of me live & in my element of 🏈 scouting at last weekend’s
@PrepRedzoneMN
Showcase.

Stop wearing other college football team's gear where you are camping. Find your high school football t-shirts with a name on the back, so college coaches can quickly identify you when you stand out in a big group.
@SPIRIT7EVEN
has a couple burners today that are some 2026s to watch in the coming years: Meet
@GrantBeck07
and Derek Jones of Papio South. Beckenhauer certainly was a Swiss Army knife in the last game i watched.
Athletes 🗣️
Something I have learned in the five years of travelling to college camps is that all coaches talk regardless of level.
Did you blow off that D3 coach that gave you a shot? That D2 coach you want an offer from probably knows about it.
Make a fool out of your
Wisconsin’s
#1
DB
@Jaipickett31
was locking up WRs like he was on a mission in his last game with
@THESHOWfootball
. This young man needs more FBS attention for sure. Top-notch physicality.
Official Invites for our
@PrepRedzoneDAK
Showcase at
@JimmieFootball
will be flying out today!
Who is ready to showcase their talents to the next-level on December 10th?
Prospects:
Make sure you are 100% honest about your measurables on Hudl/Twitter. Too many guys saying they are 6’3 but come in 6’1, 5’9 at 5’7, etc. at camps.
Every college coach WILL get your real measureables this summer at camps. Do not ruin that first impression!
So long from
#Back2Ballin
for year four! Until next year UNI Dome 🏈
Will be a busy couple of weeks of twitter evals, content, and more on
@PrepRedzone
Stay tuned Midwest athletes 👀
For the first time, Spotted Cow (one of the best beers in the world, only available in Wisconsin) will come in a case of 24 cans. Previous can high in cans was a 12-pack (📷 by

Headed to Cedar Falls for year two of scouting

If you are playing, go ahead and like this tweet and I’ll take a peak at your tape this week 👀
You can add
@Jcheatham14
(2024) of Brookfield East to our list of stud QBs on the day. Joe showed off excellent poise in the pocket, and has solid arm strength & accuracy on all three levels of the field.

🚨 Big Dogs of the Game: Maple Grove 🚨
@Crimsonfootball
had their way with the Knights on Friday night, but the amount of next-level prospects on this roster is unreal. Find out who led the charge for Maple Grove on Friday night! ⬇️
@PrepRedzoneMN
Congratulations to the good fellas at
@mngogetit
on winning the 18u Gold Division at
#Back2Ballin
at the UNI Dome! A lot of ballers on this squad that put it all together as one to be crowned as champions!
The vicious consistent physicality of Minooka 2024 OT
@BarrowmanBrady
is outstanding to watch. Also love his highly active footwork. A few D1 offers already, and should have several more by summer camp season. 6’5 275.
#TheLineIA
Papio South 2024 TE/WR
@SethAllen87
is one of my favorite flex wide outs this morning. Huge catch radius, excellent hands, and outstanding balance on the edges. Somehow no offers yet at 6’4 200 plus pounds.
@PrepRedzoneNE
@GalindoOsc12
@PrepRedzone
That is a wrap from the
@MSUBeaversFB
Camp!
Saw plenty of talent in 🦫 Country. Always love getting the live evals during camp season.
S/O to the Beavers staff for having me out!
#WhyNotMinot
Big fan of QB
@TylerSm1010
of Sergeant Bluff. This young man can let er rip with his arm strength and has excellent precision. What’s crazy? He only has one JUCO offer with so much upside to his game.
@LevelUp7on7
@PrepRedzoneIA
Prospects:
No matter where you end up in your future life, on or off the field, etc., make sure you do one thing:
ALWAYS show up on time or show up early with everything you do. That mindset goes well beyond your football career.
Another one of my favorite prospects from
@SPIRIT7EVEN
was swiss-army knife 2026 prospect
@GrantBeck07
If I had to dish out an 18U MVP, my vote would go to this young man-super efficent on both sides of the ball ⬇️🏈
🚨 SD BIG Commitment Alert 🚨
The top QB in the Dakotas from the Class of 2021
@Chase_Mason11
has committed to play 🏈 for
@GoJacksFB
.
A HUGE add for the Jackrabbits after Mason made a switch from ⚾️ back to 🏈. Congratulations Chase from all of us at
@PrepRedzoneDAK

That is a wrap from the
@WinonaState_FB
prospect camp. 125 prospects and a lot of talent to write about over the coming week. Big thanks to
@Coach_Bergy
and the Winona staff for having
@PrepRedzone
out! Until next year Winona. ✌️
Will tweet some standouts in the AM ⬇️
Sources: Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz, who has started 39 games since Denver selected him out Wisconsin–Whitewater in the third round of the 2021 Draft, is signing a four-year, $80 million contract extension that includes $45 million guaranteed and ties him to the team through the
2025 WR
@XzavionRobinso4
is the high flyer in the 18U group. Was one of my favorites at last years tryout. Ran just under a 4.45 40 yard dash in the fastest man competiton. Already an early offer from Iowa State.
My
#ByTheNumbers
from prospect camps this summer:
✅5500+ miles traveling
✅50+ Articles
✅ 500+ in-person prospect evaluations
It doesn't get any better with

Upset of the day: Hitmen/
@TNTACADEMY1
@Emoneyshow
gets a win over
@TeamFullGorilla
(CO) at the
@Pylon7on7
tournament in Maple Grove. TFG is a roster loaded with Power 5 recruits as Hitmen has so many recruits flying under the radar.
Underclassmen:
When putting together your first camp schedules, I recommend this method early in your HS football career.
2-Mega Camps
2-Division II Camps
2 Division III/NAIA/Juco Camps
Why? That way you can get a feel of where your fit is, based on college coaches feedback.
Sheesh,
@PolarsFB
2023 DE
@AuVon5
probably just played the most complete quarter I have ever seen in my years of scouting for
@PrepRedzoneMN
from the D-End spot. How does this young man just have one D3 offer? Total sleeper in 2023 👀
