Class of 2024 LB Matthew Stenbroten (WI) Flipped to North Dakota St

[GoSU96]

Looking at his film, you can see why Rocky Long is after him. He plays safety, LB, DE…I think he even played a little CB for a play or two. He is tall enough and has a big enough frame to fill in at DE (might eventually end up there down the road) but it looks like he would be effective at LB and maybe even could play safety. Agree if he does play in the secondary, it would be at rover.

He also looked really good at WR/TE and I would not be surprised if the offensive coaches tried to steal him to play the hybrid TE position as well.

A guy who has the physical attributes to play some many positions is really valuable in the Long 3-3-5. I hope he sees the kind of freedom and flexibility he could enjoy playing in this defense, and how impactful he could be playing in it.

Sign me up. Reminds me of Jamie Kimmel back in the day. Jaime was a terrific DE for SU. Really good athlete who ran all over the place making places circa the early 1980s.

I don’t want divert this thread away from Matthew but, wow, Rocky has BIG hands! Back on topic, I can see Matt becoming a great Syracuse discovery.

I was wondering if it was just me

Neither rain nor snow nor Elon Musk will stop recruiting !!!

 

[Cusester]

He’ll be a starter in 2025. In my amateur opinion, his ceiling is high!

I think he's going to be a pretty good LB.

Hope you're right -- Jamie Kimmel II would be outstanding!

[Goin' Deep]

Takes me back to a LBer that played for the Colts...maybe back in the 70s.
Steve Stonebreaker.
I would like to see him get some kind of all-state recognition. High school has about 430 students.
Gonna be a bit of a step up in level of play.

Let’s keep this train rolling! Have a feeling this is going to end up being a great recruit

 

[MG44]

6'4" 230, 4.6 40, sub 12 100yd, Ivy league offers, service academy offers...NDSU offer...Holy crap, sounds like a pretty incredible young man right there!

 

[JDubbin]

I wonder how we get a line on and focus on a Wisconsin recruit.
I mean, I’m happy about it, I just don’t understand the dynamics of recruiting I guess. Seems there would be 10 Stenbroten’s in our backyard.

10 6’4 athletic LBs in central NY?

 

[orangenauburn]

10 6’4 athletic LBs in central NY?

Yeah

It just doesn't happen in section 3

Most are like 6'0 190 lbs

My definition of backyard is 300 miles in radius and not 800 miles. Pardon my imprecision.

Travis Fisher just came over from Nebraska so maybe that’s how he was on the radar.

 

[Franz69]

We routinely recruit there. It's Wisconsin, not Outer Mongolia.
