We have defenders, offensive weapons, and athletes that have futures on either side of the ball. College coaches, make sure you check out each of these kids! They are all uncommitted, and they all have the talent to play at the next level! Let’s get it started!
Ahman Brewah Ahman Brewah 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Menomonee Falls | 2022 State WI , LB- Menomonee Falls
Stat Line: 20 Tackles, 4 TFLs
What a performance for Ahman as he makes his first appearance as a top performer! The 5’11” 200 lbs off ball LB is a tackle machine. His film from week three gives us a great look into his versatility as he piled up the tackle in a ton of different ways. As a blitzer, Brewah has impressive burst that gets him through gaps virtually untouched. Then he can use that 4.6 speed to close and chase down ball carriers. That 4.6 speed also allows Brewah to be a three down LB as he has the range, body control, and agility to smoothly drop into coverage as easily as he maneuvers through the trash to pile up tackles. I also came away impressed with his stoutness. He isn’t the biggest LB, but he has the film showing him stacking linemen at the point of contact and even disengaging and making the tackle after stacking them. Ahman’s Week 3 Highlights
Robby Michael Robby Michael 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Sheboygan Lutheran | 2022 State WI , ATH- Kohler
Stat Line: 162 Passing Yards, 3 TDs, 234 Rushing Yards, 1 TD, 4 Tackles
Another ultra productive week for the Kohler playmaker! This week’s highlights start off by giving us a look into the range and closing speed of Robby from his safety position. He was able to easily cover ground from from his safety spot to the line of scrimmage, and even behind it, to make tackles on running backs. I was also impressed by the force he could deliver at the point of contact. He translates that 4.58 speed into power nicely. On offense we got to see his natural playmaking shine. Especially on the ground where he was able to make plays outside of the norm as he made several defenders miss and picked his way through a crowded box. Also can be noted that he had a very accurate night through the air. I think he isn’t looked at much as a QB, but just seeing his ability to adapt and then dominate in every role his team asks him to handle shows how talented of a natural athlete he is. Robby’s Week 3 Highlights
Alex Pethan Alex Pethan 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Oak Creek | 2022 State WI , OL- Oak Creek
Stat Line: Blocked for 337 Rushing Yards, 6 TDs
Oak Creek came into Friday night’s game ready to pound the rock behind their massive offensive line, and that is exactly what they did. A huge force on that OL was 6’3” 290 lbs LG Alex Pethan Alex Pethan 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Oak Creek | 2022 State WI . Oak Creek used Pethan on a ton of pulls and he rewarded them with huge kick out blocks and wide open running lanes. On those pulls Alex showed off solid range for his size, and he did a great job of hitting his target while under control. Whether he was pulling or double teaming level one, Alex did a good job to stay square, and that allowed him to walk bigger IDL off the ball and also drive his kick out defender far off the end of the line of scrimmage. Very impressive day from Pethan. Alex’s Week 3 Highlights
Josh Hodges Josh Hodges 6'0" | 225 lbs | DL Nicolet | 2022 State WI , DL- Nicolet
Stat Line: 4 Total Tackles, 1 TFL
Nicolet, and Hodges, found themselves in a dog fight this past Friday night with Cedarburg. The 6′ 240 lbs IDL had a big job on the night as Cedarburg was going to come in looking to pound the rock. Josh and his front seven teammates were up to the challenge. All night Hodges gave us a look into his stoutness against the run as he worked tirelessly to maintain control of the line of scrimmage and not allow it to be reset down the field. The power in his lower body, and low center of gravity paired with a good use of leverage allowed him to eat up blocks and hold the line while his teammates were able to flow to the ball. The stats aren’t crazy, but his impact from doing the dirty work is in the tape. Check him out! Josh’s Week 3 Highlights
Colton Geurink Colton Geurink 5'11" | 215 lbs | RB Wausau West | 2022 State WI , RB- Wausau West
Stat Line: 28 Carries, 210 Rushing Yards, 1 TD
This film is a one minute clinic on what it looks like to run with power. There are some carries in this tape where I’m not positive that Colton even realizes he ran over someone because he doesn’t lose a step of speed while destroying his opponent. Defenders bounce off of his thick, strong frame including his legs. Usually you have to attack these bigger guys down low, but Geurink has shown even when taking shots to the legs they stay churning and pick up positive yards. Colton’s center of gravity is so low that it honestly might just be the bottom of his feet because it feels like if they are still touching the ground he’s not going down. The 5’11” 215 lbs back is a tone setter and is without a doubt one of the best power backs in the state of Wisconsin. It’s must watch film! Colton’s Week 3 Highlights
Jayden Bridgewater Jayden Bridgewater 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Greendale | 2022 State WI , RB- Martin Luther
Stat Line: 16 Carries, 112 Yards, 3 TDs
Jayden is a fun RB to watch on tape. His blend of make you miss and contact balance at 5’10” 180 lbs is impressive. His ability to make you miss with change of direction, and quick feet are scattered throughout this week’s highlights. So are his instincts. Jayden does a good job of scanning his blocking before, during, and after the hand off allowing him to quickly find the hole or cutback lane. Just like his agility and ability to make you miss are something you would expect from a smaller, change of pace back, his contact balance and power looks like it should be coming from an RB bigger than Jayden. Yet, he is out there not only running through arm tackles, but keeping his legs churning and breaking through multiple tackle attempts at once and absorbing shots that I expected to take him down. Bridgewater offers a well rounded game as a ball carrier. Jayden’s Week 3 Highlights
Brendan Lane Brendan Lane 6'1" | 150 lbs | ATH Wisconsin Lutheran | 2022 State WI : ATH- Wisconsin Lutheran
Stat Line: 1 Reception, 46 Yards, 3 KO Returns, 72 Yards, 3 Tackles
Solid week by Brendan this past Friday night. The three way impact player once again made flash plays in all three phases of the game. On offense, Lane was able to take the top off the defense on his one reception, and he also did a great job of finding and adjusting to the ball in the air. He also let us see that he is a willing blocker while lined up out wide. On special teams, we got to see Lane in his element returning kicks and showing off his natural playmaking abilities. He sees the field well, and how his blocks are setting up. He also has that make you miss talent in the open field. On defense, Brendan is aggressive in the defensive backfield and doesn’t show any hesitation as he comes downhill to make tackles in the run game.
Aaron Grant Aaron Grant 5'8" | 245 lbs | RB Germantown | 2022 State WI , RB- Germantown
Stat Line: 15 Carries, 104 Yards, 1 TD, 1 Reception, 4 Yards
Not usually the first thing that jumps off the tape when watching an RB, but Aaron was a great lead blocker in the team’s week three matchup with Menomonee Falls. He quickly closed on level two defenders and ran right through them leading to either flattening them in their tracks or moving them out of the running lane. As a ball carrier himself, Aaron set the tone with every touch. His power, and contact balance allowed him to rack up the yards after contact. His ability to stay upright and run through tacklers, his balance while absorbing big hits, and his overall leg drive jump off the tape. If you are looking for a rugged RB this could be your dude. He is a gritty ball carrier that plays with a big and strong disposition that matches his thick 5’8″ 215 lbs frame. Aaron’s Week 3 Highlights
Colin Girdaukas Colin Girdaukas 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Sheboygan Lutheran | 2022 State WI , WR/ATH- Kohler
Stat Line: 8 Receptions, 100 Yards, 2 TDs, 5 Total Tackles
The WR1 on one of the most productive offenses in the state had himself a strong week three. Colin let us see his clutch play as he was able to haul in an end of half Hail Mary pass for a score. Colin can also go from those flashy big plays to being a tough and gritty player. He is a willing and effective run blocker down field, and on defense he proved to be a reliable edge setter against the run at his OLB position. His 4.5 speed at 6′ 190 lbs makes him a formidable matchup or DBs at the high school level and he uses that speed and size to get open for his QB. Colin’s Week 3 Highlights
Kegan Huber Kegan Huber 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH Badger | 2022 State WI , ATH- Badger
Stat Line: 9 Carries, 46 Yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT
I really liked this week of film from Kegan. The first part I want to highlight is his ability to make plays beyond what is expected. This includes the super late pitch while running option. It’s that awareness of what’s going on around him at all times that allows him to make those special, rare plays. Running the option leaves a lot of responsibility on Kegan’s shoulders, and despite it being a newer position for him you can see a huge improvement in his decisiveness and confidence from week one when I watched him live. On defense, Huber continues to shine. His INT proves that his awareness and ability to read and react quickly aren’t just something he uses on offense. Huber did a good job seeing the whole field instead of staring at the TE he was staying over the top of, seeing the pass coming, and getting into position to make the play before the ball arrived. It’s clear why he has earned the attention of the D1 level. Special athlete.
Tristan Moctezuma Tristan Moctezuma 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL Sheboygan Lutheran | 2022 WI , OL- Kohler
Stat Line: Blocked for 7 Total TDs, 162 Passing Yards, 397 Rushing Yards
Tristan ragdolled his opponents throughout last Friday night. The 6’4″ 285 lbs OT used his far superior size and strength to drive edge defenders off the line of scrimmage, and even went as far as to use his upper body strength to toss them to the ground. Something that has caught my eyes over the last couple of weeks is Tristan’s improved body control and overall movement skills. Last fall it seemed far more labored and he might be caught overextending. The last couple of weeks Tristan has done a good job of keeping his pads and weight over his toes and trusting that he can get into position without needing to reach. His ability to get to the second level has taken a step forward because of it. Tristan has made strides from where he was a year ago.
Joe Ollman Joe Ollman 6'2" | 210 lbs | RB Homestead | 2022 State WI , RB- Homestead
Stat Line: 17 Carries, 170 Yrds, 1 TD, 1 2 Pt.
Ollman turned in a great performance to kick off conference play. The instincts were on full display as he was able to turn what looked like nothing into something on several of his between the tackles carries. Despite his 6’1″ 210 lbs frame Joe was so quick to see what defenders were doing and quickly make a move to avoid them in tight quarters. His ability to make you miss with either power or foot quickness is what really sets him apart from other backs in his class. He can easily bounce off huge shots and keep going forward or he can juke, jump, or change direction to keep going forward. Then when he gets the chance, Joe has every aspect of play speed to capitalize on green grass. His burst gets him to top speed and he can turn that into long speed as he maintains that top speed throughout his open field carries.
Great team win to begin conference play! Final stats: 17 car, 170 tds, 1 TD, 1 2pt. pic.twitter.com/3B5wHQLk45

Marcus Gordon Marcus Gordon 5'9" | 150 lbs | DB Madison West | 2022 State WI , ATH- Madison West
Stat Line: N/A
Marcus had a heck of a week 3. He made plays at RB, WR, and DB showing off the versatility that he can offer the next level. Gordon seems to be at his best, and most dangerous when he can get the ball out in space. Whether that be on sweeps where he can stretch the field horizontally and then pick his way through the spread out defense, or at receiver where he shown his ability to stretch the field vertically. Marcus made several impressive catches this week flashing quick, soft hands, and the ability to climb the ladder to go up and get it. Keep an eye on the Madison West playmaker.

Ian Hall Ian Hall 6'2" | 220 lbs | TE Amherst | 2022 State WI , WR/DB- Amherst
Stat Line: 6 Receptions, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 1 PBU
Ian changed it up a bit this week as he made one of his first starts at cornerback to go along with his offensive duties. He was able to use his receiver talents to secure an INT on the day when he did a great job of using his 6’2″ 220 lbs body to basically box out the receiver and then go up and get it at it’s highest point. On offense, Ian was able to take the top off the defense for one of his TDs showing off the 4.8 long speed. The film also gives us a couple of looks at Hall’s ability to find the soft spots in coverage. It’s quick film, but you can definitely see what he has to offer the next level.
David Nies David Nies 6'4" | 220 lbs | DL River Ridge | 2022 State WI , DL- River Ridge
Stat Line: 4 Total Tackles, 2 Sacks, 2 TFLs
The very first thing that jumps off the tape when you watch David is his elite length. The 6’4″ 220 lbs DE comes with a 6’8″ wingspan that he uses very well. This week we got to take a look at Nies’ pass rush skills. His ability to generate pressure on the quarterback is headlined by his swim move, and his ability to walk offensive linemen back into the QB’s lap. It’s an impressive blend of speed and power. David is also super disruptive. He is able to consistently play on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage because of that speed and power where he might not always get the tackle, but he does create a lot of havoc leading to negative plays for the offense. The hand use is special as well. He flashes quick hands and a punch that gets his hands to the chest of the OL quickly where can easily lock out the blocker and then shed the block. David is a defender that should be catching the eyes of the D1 level. Lots of talent, and lots of potential. David’s Week 3 Highlights
Josh Waite Josh Waite 5'11" | 165 lbs | QB La Crosse Logan | 2022 State WI , QB- La Crosse Logan
Stat Line: 14/27, 308 Yards, 3 TDs
This is the best game I have seen out of the La Crosse Logan signal caller! The 5’11” QB was super aggressive with his pass attempts as he looked to attack downfield often. In doing so, Josh showed off impressive deep ball accuracy as he was able to drop the ball in a bucket to his receivers. Waite also showed off his ability to be a quick, rhythmic passer as he quickly got the ball out of his hands with 0-3 step drops as he connected on several short- intermediate passes. We also get several examples of his ability to deliver accurate passes while on the run outside of the pocket. Josh has made a big leap from when I watched him this spring. He has accuracy and touch to every level of the field, and did a great job of keeping his eyes downfield. Check out the impressive week! Josh’s Week 3 Highlights
