Recruiting Spotlight: The Rise of the Class of 2028 Prospects
College recruiters are turning their attention to the class of 2028 as the summer showcase season heats up. Top prospects like Jaxon Omdahl and Henry Schrum are making early names for themselves on the national stage.
The scouting trail for the class of 2028 has seen a flurry of activity this July. One of the biggest names emerging from the Dakotas is RHP Jaxon Omdahl, who recently hit 91 MPH at a regional Top Prospect Game. Omdahl's frame and polished delivery have made him a high-follow prospect for major Division I programs. His ability to command three pitches at such a young age is rare, placing him at the top of many regional watchlists.
Joining Omdahl in the spotlight is catcher Henry Schrum, whose physical presence behind the plate and elite exit velocity (topping 102 MPH) have drawn comparisons to current collegiate stars. Schrum's performance at recent Summer ID events has solidified his status as a premier 'catch and throw' prospect. Scouts are particularly impressed with his leadership and game management during high-pressure tournament situations.
Recruiting experts suggest that the class of 2028 is deeper than average, with a high concentration of two-way talent. Programs are increasingly looking at 'neuro-cognitive' metrics and athletic versatility as they build their future rosters. With the NCAA dead period ending soon, many of these 2028 prospects are expected to see a significant uptick in interest from top-tier universities.
