<strong>NORTH DAKOTA-- </strong>We transfer over to 11A in North Dakota to put together our Preseason All-State Team. This one was by far the toughest team I have had to put together, due to just how loaded the linebacker position is in 11AA. When you add Fargo North, Fargo South, Grand Forks Red River, and Grand Forks Central to the mix along with others, you are going to have a simply loaded mix of prospects on your Preseason All-State Team. This next section will go into the how on how we put our preseason teams together and we decided to hand out a few preseason trophies while we are at it too!
<strong>How We Put it Together</strong>
All we watch is the tape, no matter what. Those prospects that had a significant amount of varsity snaps in 2021 got an added bonus but we also made some fun projections with those prospects that are becoming varsity starters this upcoming season. We didn’t look at the offer sheets and with most, we shaded outside of looking at our prospect rankings to instead find the best man available and found prospects that caught our eyes, even more, when we looked at the tape because why? The tape never lies. We had very few prospects that cracked more than one position on our Preseason All-State Team and if they did, they just proved how athletic they are at multiple positions.
Without further a due, I give the subscribers at Prep Redzone Dakotas our 2021 North Dakota Dakota Preseason 11A All-State Team, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together!

This young is one of the best blocking wide receivers I have seen in the Dakotas. His contact level is outstanding when he connects his hands around the cornerback to help out his ball carriers. Physical size at 6’3 215 pounds. One of the only D1 rated prospects on this list.
