The Rivals 300 rankings for the Class of 2028 were updated on Monday, and there’s no shortage of potential Minnesota football targets, with the Golden Gophers already offering more than 30 players who made the list.

Of the almost three dozen prospects listed, 14 call the Midwest home.

Among those who made the Rivals300 is in-state linebacker Brodie Metzger – Hills-Beaver Creek Secondary (Beaver Creek, MN). The 6-foot-4, 195-pound linebacker has seen his recruitment take off in recent weeks and is now ranked as the No. 252 player in the country according to Rivals, including the No. 20 linebacker and the top talent in Minnesota.

Within the Midwest, Illinois is the highest represented state with four prospects inside the top-300, all hailing from the greater Chicago area in No. 24 EDGE Darieon Prescott – Bolingbrook (Bolingbrook, IL), No. 56 EDGE Kameron McGee – Brother Rice (Chicago, IL), No. 63 WR Marshaun Thornton – Mount Carmel (Chicago, IL), and No. 198 DL Caleb Tucker – Mount Carmel (Chicago, IL).

Iowa also is well represented with three top-300 prospects in No. 103 OT Declan Heying – Des Moines Christian (Des Moines, IA), No. 106 TE Jevyn Severson – Madrid (Madrid, IA), and No. 200 IOL Carter Barrett – Dowling Catholic (West Des Moines, IA).
