Hunter Luepke is one of the most versatile offensive players entering this class. I do not doubt that he will dominate the competition at the Senior Bowl. He’s used as a running back, full back, H-back, and tight end, and he is a very effective receiver at every level on the field. He held just two offers out of high school, from North Dakota State and Northern Iowa.

Hunter Luepke scouting notes

Pros:

• Incredible body control. Very measured athlete. 
• Very strong runner between the tackles. Has solid contact balance between staying upright. He Breaks tackles routinely and keeps his legs churning at all times. 
• Acceleration is good. 
• Natural receiver. More than capable receiver at multiple levels of the field. He has the ability to work the sideline as well while making catches. 
• Solid route-runner. Is more of an H-Back in a fullback’s body. 
• Ran a complex route tree at North Dakota State. 
• Very solid run blocker. 
• Solid in pass protection. Stout blocker. Locks up his edge quickly and effectively. 

Cons:

• I would expect Luepke to test as a low-end running back, somewhere in the 4.6-4.7 range. It’s good speed, and if you’re not careful, you’ll lose him. 
• Doesn’t change direction well with the ball in his hands. He’s focused on staying north/south.
