Jake Shope Jake Shope 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Goddard | 2021 State KS – Goddard, 6’1”, 180, WR
Shope has all the tools to be a very solid wide-out at the next level. He has sharp route running, soft hands, and playing making after the catch. The 5A All-Stater can be a reliable option for pass heavy offenses.
Brandon Bowles Brandon Bowles 6'1" | 190 lbs | LB Maize South | 2021 State KS – Maize South, 6’1”, 190. LB
Bowles can be a field general for a program’s defense. The All-State linebacker reads and reacts well, and is a sure tackler. He may need to add little size, but Bowles has the potential to be a defensive anchor.
Luke Stewart Luke Stewart 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Derby | 2021 State KS – Derby, 6’0”, 210, LB
Stewart would bring a winning mentality, and a high motor with him to a collegiate program. He shows good awareness in pass coverage, and he is quick coming off the edge on blitzes.
Darius Bibbs Darius Bibbs 5'11" | 185 lbs | WR Olathe East | 2021 State KS – Olathe East, 5’11”, 185, WR
Bibbs is a player that college programs need. Getting the ball in his hands is a must. He can play in the slot or out wide, run multiple routes, and he can be a game changer as a return-man.
Tanner Knox Tanner Knox 5'11" | 190 lbs | DB Derby | 2021 State KS – Derby, 5’11”, 190, DB
Knox is everything a defensive coordinator would want from a safety. He sees the field well, and he does a good job of staying over the top. Stewart’s closing speed helps put him in the right position to make a play as well.
Jacob Chugg Jacob Chugg 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH Wichita Collegiate | 2021 State KS – Wichita Collegiate, 5’10”, 175, ATH
The Spartans’ offense was fueled by big plays from Chugg in 2020. His versatility and speed could give him some early playing time his freshman year. Whether he’s getting handoffs, or lining up at receiver; Chugg has the capability of taking it to the house.
Hunter Niemann Hunter Niemann 5'11" | 170 lbs | RB Maize South | 2021 State KS – Maize South, 5’11”, 170, RB
When fully healthy, Niemann is an explosive back. He runs hard for his size, and he can make plays out of the backfield as a receiver. All this young man needs is a chance.
Tanner Barcus Tanner Barcus 5'8" | 160 lbs | WR Parsons | 2021 State KS – Parsons, 5’8”, 160, WR
Barcus was Mr. Reliable in 2020. The Parsons senior caught 75 passes for 1,032 yards and 13 touchdowns. His combination of route running and reliable hands will make him a solid option in a pass-first offense.
Tanner Curry Tanner Curry 5'11" | 170 lbs | QB Blue Valley Southwest | 2021 State KS – Blue Valley Southwest, 5’11”, 170, QB
Curry finished his career at Blue Valley Southwest as the leading passer in school history. He can sling the ball all over the field. He has nice accuracy on deep balls, and he has active feet in the pocket. Curry could fit into an up-tempo style of offense.
Max Close Max Close 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Shawnee Mission South | 2021 State KS – Shawnee Mission East, 6’4”, 225, DL/LB
It will be interesting to see which position Close will play at the next level. Close has the size and physicality to be a force at defensive end, but he also has the athleticism to be a Taysom Hill-esque player on offense.
Jacob Younkman Jacob Younkman 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Wichita NW | 2021 State KS – Wichita Northwest, 5’11”, 210, LB
Younkman is a seek and destroy type of linebacker. Once he sees where the play is going; he shoots into the backfield like a torpedo. He doesn’t give up on plays, and he will always try to find a way to the ball.
Eli Rowland Eli Rowland 5'11" | 175 lbs | RB Andale | 2021 State KS – Andale, 5’11”, 175, RB
The 3A Offensive Player of the Year could make a difference for some offenses. Rowland is a patient runner that can read blocks well, and he can make plays out of the backfield as a receiver. If recruiters need depth in the backfield; Rowland would be a great addition.
Drew French Drew French 6'1" | 265 lbs | OL Lansing | 2021 State KS – Lansing, 6’1”, 265, OL
French would come in his freshman year with some experience. The three-year starter would bring a polished skillset with him. I could see him competing for early playing time.
Ethan Houk Ethan Houk 6'1" | 180 lbs | QB Parsons | 2021 State KS – Parsons, 6’1”, 190, QB
Houk made progress from his junior to senior year. He increased his passing yards and touchdowns, but more importantly; he was more accurate and decreased his turnovers. Houk will only continue to grow as a quarterback.
Koy Kenny Koy Kenny 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Ulysses | 2021 State KS – Ulysses, 6’1”, 215, LB
Kenny has been extremely overlooked. He has the size and physicality to be a next level linebacker. Kenny was a stat monster in 2020; piling up 127 total tackles; 27 being for a loss, with two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
Ty Reishus Ty Reishus 5'11" | 185 lbs | WR Mill Valley | 2021 State KS – Mill Valley, 5’11”, 185, WR
Reishus is a threat down the field. He has a good release off the line and he is capable of making tough catches. Reishus is a speedy receiver that could play in the slot or out wide.
Matthew Morrell Matthew Morrell 6'3" | 190 lbs | LB Bishop Carroll | 2021 State KS – Bishop Carroll, 6’3”, 190, LB
Morrell is capable of being a solid linebacker at the next level. He executes his assignments in pass coverage, and he has a nose for the ball in the run game.
Caden Parthemer Caden Parthemer 6'1" | 180 lbs | LB Andale | 2021 State KS – Andale, 6’2”, 195, LB
The 3A Defensive Player of the Year made some noise in 2020. Parthemer was a headache for offenses all season long. He’s very good in pass coverage, and he flies to the football. Recruiters need to reach out to this backer.
Mason Haxton Mason Haxton 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Hoisington | 2021 State KS – Hoisington, 6’0”, 180, QB
Haxton’s dual threat ability led him to a successful career at Hoisington. In his two years as a starter he led Hoisington to a 23-2 record, while accumulating over 2,400 all-purpose yards and 33 total touchdowns. If triple option offensive programs are looking for a quarterback; Haxton is their guy.
Hayden Robb Hayden Robb 5'11" | 220 lbs | LB Perry Lecompton | 2021 State KS – Perry-Lecompton, 5’11”, 220, LB
Robb should be on multiple recruiter’s radars. The hard-hitting linebacker hit a milestone by eclipsing 500 career total tackles in 2020. He’s played a ton of snaps, and his physical style is built to stop the run.
Trey Worcester Trey Worcester 6'0" | 190 lbs | DB Mill Valley | 2021 State KS – Mill Valley, 6’0”, 190, DB
Worcester could be a play maker on defense at the next level. He has the ability to play both safety and outside linebacker. During his senior year he racked up 54 total tackles; 7.5 being a loss, one sack, one interception and two forced fumbles.
Ethan Huber Ethan Huber 6'0" | 190 lbs | WR Basehor Linwood | 2021 State KS – Basehor-Linwood, 6’0”, 190, WR
Huber was the second leading receiver for the Bobcats this past season. He made the most of the 47 passes he hauled in. Huber’s a reliable option in the slot, and a good blocker in the run game.
Peyton Wahlmeier Peyton Wahlmeier 6'4" | 225 lbs | TE Colby | 2021 State KS – Colby, 6’4”, 225, TE
Wahlmeier’s skills are raw, but he has the potential to blossom into a talented tight end. He has the frame and athleticism to do well. Could be a nice prospect for a program.
Cayden Winter Cayden Winter 6'0" | 220 lbs | OL Andale | 2021 State KS – Andale, 6’0”, 220, OL/DL
Winter may be a little undersized for a lineman, but he doesn’t let that hold him back. His combination of strength and his wrestling background allow him to drive back opposing lineman. I could see him transitioning to the defensive line in college.
Joziah Hill Joziah Hill 6'2" | 185 lbs | DB Wichita NW | 2021 State KS – Wichita Northwest, 6’2”, 185, DB
Hill is a ball-hawk in the secondary. He will make teams think twice about throwing it deep. His length allows him to contest jump balls, and he does a good job of high pointing the football.
Jacob Rees Jacob Rees 5'10" | 185 lbs | ATH Andover Central | 2021 State KS – Andover Central, 5’10”, 185, ATH
Rees split carries in the Jaguars’ backfield, but he was very effective when he touched the ball. He rushed for 768 yards with 10 touchdowns, while averaging an impressive 6.7 yards per carry. He’s a tough runner that would add good depth to a backfield.
Dillon Schobourgh Dillon Schobourgh 6'1" | 240 lbs | DL Andover | 2021 State KS – Andover, 6’1”, 240, DL
Schobourgh is an athletic defensive end that explodes off the edge. He’s good about shedding blocks and quickly getting to the quarterback or ball carrier. I think he has the capability of playing outside linebacker as well.
Josh Sparks Josh Sparks 6'1" | 205 lbs | LB Andover | 2021 State KS – Andover, 6’1”, 205, LB
Sparks is another talented athlete from Andover. He could be an interesting prospect for some programs. Sparks is a skilled outside linebacker, but he has impressive film as a fullback as well.
Gus Campa Gus Campa 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Sacred Heart | 2021 State KS – Sacred Heart, 6’2”, 240, DL
Campa flew under the radar in 2020. While people slept on him, Campa piled up 45 total tackles; eight for a loss, and three sacks. He’s athletic and skilled enough to play both defensive tackle and defensive end.
Caleb VanDegrift Caleb VanDegrift 5'10" | 185 lbs | ATH Scott City | 2021 State KS – Scott City, 5’10”, 185, ATH
Believe it or not, VanDegrift primarily lined up at defensive tackle during his senior year. He held his own at that position. VanDegrift used his athleticism and wrestling background to get through offensive lineman. I could see him switching to linebacker or safety at the next level though.
Dylan Rinker Dylan Rinker 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB McPherson | 2021 State KS – McPherson, 6’2”, 210, QB
Rinker absolutely balled out in his first year starting at quarterback. He threw for 2,425 yards with 27 touchdowns and only six interceptions; while completing an impressive 65% of his passes. This young man is only going to get better, and recruiters need to take notice of him.
Jayden Garrison Jayden Garrison 6'2" | 170 lbs | ATH Little RIver | 2021 State KS – Little River, 6’2”, 180, ATH
Garrison dominated the 8-Man Division I competition. He led Little River to a State Championship, and picked up the 8-Man Division I Offensive Player of the Year. Garrison is cable of playing multiple positions at the next level.
