How this site works
THE RECORD,
WITHOUT THE HYPE.
Every statistic, ranking, honor, and milestone is tied to a named source. Official records take precedence when accounts conflict. Empty fields mean “not reported”—never zero.
Measurements vary by outlet and date. The current 6'3", 220-pound listing is presented as a recent listing, not an independently measured fact. Self-reported testing and academic information are clearly separated from verified results.
Documented data notes
Official 2025 totals list 76 tackles and 7 tackles for loss. Blake ranked third on the team in total tackles. Some published stories report 48 tackles and 3 TFL; this site uses the official MN Football Hub record.
School athletics marks (Northwestern plus the recruiting schools listed) are served via Wikimedia Commons; each mark remains the property of its institution and is used for identification on this independent family career archive.
