Recruiting report: Lincoln Southwest's Caden McCormack drawing interest from Nebraska, Iowa State, Kansas State
Lincoln Southwest junior linebacker Caden McCormack is on the verge of becoming one of the state's hotter recruits in the 2019 class.
McCormack doesn't have any offers yet, but he's squarely on the radar of Nebraska, Iowa State and Kansas State. McCormack visited Kansas State last weekend to see the Wildcats play Oklahoma.
"I loved Kansas State. The student section and the atmosphere is great," McCormack said. "I've built a strong relationship with their recruiting coordinator (Taylor) Braet and linebacker coach (Blake) Seiler."
According to McCormack, Kansas State sees him at either inside or outside linebacker, while Nebraska is recruiting him as an athlete.
On Saturday, he will head to Ames, Iowa, and see the Cyclones host TCU in a Top-25 matchup. McCormack has also made multiple unofficial visits to Nebraska this season.
"I get along with (high school relations director) Kenny (Wilhite) pretty good, and the fans are great no matter how good or bad the team is." McCormack said.
McCormack missed three games in the middle of the season with an injury to his posterior talofibular ligament, which is the least commonly injured of the three ankle ligaments and runs horizontal with the foot.
McCormack wants to major in pre-law, although he is not sure what type of law he wants to practice. He does know what he is looking for in a school.
"I'm looking for academics first, then I will look at the football side," McCormack said. "The coaching staff and relationship I have with them are important along with the overall football environment."
10. Shane Smith, WR, Bellevue West
Evaluation: Smith has great football instincts with the speed and quickness to take every touch to the end zone. He is particularly good in the screen game. Smith has a smaller frame — 5-foot-9, 155 pounds — but he is a physical athlete and a good run blocker in space.
9. Cedric Case, QB, Lincoln High
Evaluation: Case has a strong arm and can throw on the run. He has nice touch on deep throws and throws the seam and slant routes with some zip. Case also has good mechanics and is an accurate passer outside of the pocket.
8. Caden Johnson, OL/DL, Wahoo Neumann
Evaluation: Johnson is a physical lineman that can get to the second level quickly. He is a tough and physical tackle that plays with an extra level of aggression. Johnson can play both the guard and tackle positions.
7. Ryan Bena, OL, Omaha Creighton Prep
Evaluation: Bena is a very good run blocker and a good athlete. He moves his feet well when pulling as the lead blocker and can block in space on screen plays. Bena has a high motor and rarely gives up on a play.
6. Zander Gray, RB, Omaha North
Evaluation: Gray has a devastating stiff arm and enough quickness to make defenders miss. He has enough speed to separate from defenders and uses his angles well to break long runs. He is a power back that isn’t afraid to lower his pad level and run through defenders.
5. Garrett Snodgrass, TE/LB, York
Evaluation: Snodgrass is a true throwback. He can play multiple positions and is a special teams ace. At tight end he is a great in-line blocker with good hands. He has a high motor and a nose for the football at linebacker. He'll line up as the Dukes' wildcat quarterback and is a punishing runner.
4. Dylan Kautz, RB, Norfolk Catholic
Evaluation: Kautz has the ability to score every time he touches the ball. Not only does he have speed — evident by his 4.38-second 40-yard dash and 10.53-second 100-meter dash — but he also has great balance and is not afraid to lower his head and take on tacklers.
3. Chris Hickman, TE, Omaha Burke
Evaluation: Hickman is strong enough to be an in-line blocker but is also athletic enough to stretch the field and catch passes on the outside. He's a tremendous athlete that catches with his hands and is a true red-zone threat.
2. Garrett Nelson, DL, Scottsbluff
Evaluation: Nelson has great measurables and is a quick-twitch athlete. He plays with great intensity and has great punch with his hands to shed blockers.
1. Nick Henrich, LB, Omaha Burke
Evaluation: Henrich is a leader on and off the field. He is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with great instincts and runs to the ball on virtually every play. He has the frame to add good weight and should as his high school career progresses.
