Here are some prospects that stood out to me
I’m not breaking any news for anyone who’s seen Kueter play – He’s good. The University of Iowa football and wrestling commit fits well at LB right now with his size and athleticism. He moves well laterally, flows to the ball and pursues with a purpose. I could see him being a very effective edge on the next level if he outgrows LB.
Highlights
Larson sports all the traits needed to succeed behind center at the next level. He displays a strong arm from the pocket and can spin it on the move. He adds stress to the defense with his running ability. A versatile athlete, Larson could slot at other positions in college if QB doesn’t work out.

Ronnie Major
Ronnie Major
Major feels the need for speed. The diminutive senior makes it difficult for defenses to corral him. For a smaller back, he doesn’t dance waiting for daylight. He hits the hole with burst and can slip through small openings. He’ll need added strength carrying the ball at the next level. His athleticism at CB is intriguing.
Akili Mattox
Akili Mattox
Really nice size on the outside with good speed and hands. Mattox uses his body well against smaller CBs and has a knack for high-pointing the ball. He fits well at receiver now but features the body type to become a pass-catching tight end in college.
Wallace already rates as one of the top QBs on the east side of the state as only a sophomore. He pushes the ball down the field with ease and accuracy. He’s solidly built and can break tackles both when being rushed or when running. He makes good decisions and controls the huddle.

Mason Woods
Mason Woods
The son of Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods, Mason Woods already reports a scholarship offer from Missouri. Woods covers a lot of ground from his deep safety position and diagnosis plays much quicker than most guys his age. He covers well and times the ball well. Physicality is a big part of his game. Stock rising here.
