Trent Brehm doesn’t have any stars in the recruiting rankings. He’s not being pursued by the Blue Bloods of college football. His is by no means a household name. His high school, Papillion-LaVista South, is bounded to the north by highway 370 and farmland to the south. It’s on the absolute outer reaches of...

Koby Bretz hasn’t been dragged down by the dizzying circumstances of the year that is 2020. His arrow is pointed firmly skyward. Fortune continues to favor the talented senior safety and wide receiver from Omaha Westside High School. He’s locked up a scholarship offer from the University of Nebraska, his dream school. He and his...

Editor's Note: As of 9/29/20 Alex has received a Preferred Walk-on offer to join his brother at The University of Nebraska.

The monotony of solo workouts has been taxing. The limits on travel have been frustrating. The uncertainty is still daunting. Amid cancellations, postponements and general discomfort, nobody would begrudge the...

The 2019 high school football season in Nebraska’s Class A has been wild. Eight teams finished the season 7-2 or better. The two undefeated teams — Millard West and Bellevue West— have won all of their games by at least 10 points. The playoffs in 2019 should be equally as entertaining as the regular season, with several high-powered potential match-ups throughout the proceedings.

The list of attributes that define the ideal running back are well known — speed, power, vision, and patience all make the list. Watch any of Isaiah Harris’s highlights, and you’ll see everything you need.

Big guys are common in football games. It’s almost a prerequisite, especially for offensive linemen in today’s game, to be among the largest human beings walking the Earth. Football players are big. But “big” probably doesn’t do justice to Teddy Prochazka, junior offensive tackle for Elkhorn South High school. “I think that his height is what...
