The most accomplished of the Minnesota NFL prospects on the track was easily Isaiah Weston. Weston was a 2x State Champion, a 1x State runner-up, and a 3x Section 5AA champion. He was honored with a Third Team spot on our All-Decade Team for Horizontal Jumps and also secured spots in our Top Boys Jumpers and Hurdles bracket contests back in 2020.
