Freshman linebacker Izaiah Scheftgen arrives at St. Thomas with proven prep pedigree and immediate upside
Scheftgen, a 6-foot-1, 219-pound freshman linebacker for St. Thomas in 2026, comes in with real polish: he was a two-time unanimous first-team all-conference pick, his league’s Linebacker of the Year, and a WFCA all-region selection at Port Washington[5][8]. That kind of résumé suggests a physical, instinctive defender who already knows how to run a defense and make plays near the ball. He’s still early in his college career, but the fit looks strong if a team wants a tough, high-motor LB with legit production background and room to grow[1][5].
