Our guy @EdgyTim was at The Run workout in Chicago over the weekend which featured Minnesota commits Athan and Dino Kaliakmanis along with Jameson Geers. He provides his observations on each below:
QB Athan Kaliakmanis Antioch 2021 (Minn)- I hadn't seen Athan for at least a year plus in person. Needless to say he's a much different young man physically now from a year ago and has added more weight and strength and seems even taller now than a year plus ago. Kaliakmanis can simply just sling it and was able to throw the football around with a powerful arm and impressive touch. Kaliakmanis also has bee able to refine his overall touch and showed a really impressive deep ball here. On the hoof, Kaliakmanis is even more impressive now and has a chance to end up challenging for a fourth star in my opinion.
WR Dino Kaliakmanis Antioch 2021 (Minn)- Dino is simply a no nonsense, hard working athlete who just does a lot of things well. Kaliakmanis is a bit bigger and stronger from a year plus ago. Dino runs well, has excellent hands and is one of the more disciplined route runners in this class. Dino was also matched up against current college DB's and more than held his own here. Dino is a quiet kid personality wise who just has a great motor and a desire to compete at the highest level. I also love his approach and work ethic.
TE Jameson Geers Providence 2021 (Minn)- Another name I hadn't seen in person since pre COVID. Geers is just a high level player and athlete who has added a ton of muscle and size and is in the 240-250 pound range these days. Geers provides a really hard matchup for any opposing LB/S due to his size/length frame and he has impressive hands and body control. Just lots to like here from Jameson Geers.
