National Signing Day: State of South Dakota Signees

<strong>SOUTH DAKOTA-</strong> We move along on this National Signing Day over to South Dakota, which by the numbers, had a significantly larger amount of commitments by looking at the in-state numbers. There were 70 Dakotas prospects that signed to South Dakota schools, including the largest class to date by Dakota Wesleyan who signed 21 players (almost one-third of this list) from the great state of South Dakota. <strong>By the Numbers</strong> We broke down the analytics in South Dakota too, and counted  46 of these 70 prospects were ranked/listed by Prep Redzone Dakotas since 2020, which is just over 66% of the prospects, in which we were just under our North Dakota percentage by just under 2%. <strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">South Dakota State (2)</span></strong> All from South Dakota. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151268" first="David" last="Alpers"] | Tight End | Sioux Falls O’ Gorman (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="149406" first="Zach" last="Brummels"] | Kicker | Brandon Valley (SD)</strong> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Northern State (10)</strong></span> All from South Dakota. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="226693" first="Brady" last="Bauer"] | Defensive Back | Mobridge-Pollock (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56476" first="Aidan" last="Fredrickson"] | Defensive Back | Britton-Hecla (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56464" first="Hayden" last="Gilbert"] | Defensive Back | Viborg-Hurley (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56535" first="Chance" last="Gregg"] | Offensive Line | Herreid-Selby (SD)</strong> <strong>Gabe Johnson | Offensive Line | Garretson (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93081" first="Paden" last="Johnson"] | Offensive Line | Watertown (SD)</strong> <strong>Kaden Kurtz | Athlete | Groton (SD)</strong> <strong>Cooper Logan | Linebacker | Potter County (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56474" first="Brock" last="Longville"] | Defensive Line | Brookings (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56456" first="Max" last="Thomson"] | Quarterback | Sioux Falls Washington (SD)</strong> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Augustana (7)</strong></span> All from South Dakota. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93090" first="Sam" last="Scholten"] | Wide Receiver | Brandon Valley (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271404" first="Manny" last="Struck"] | Wide Receiver | Sioux Falls O’Gorman (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93563" first="Corbin" last="Wirkus"] | Offensive Line | Baltic (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271082" first="Klayton" last="Sattler"] | Wide Receiver | Tea Area (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271405" first="Christian" last="Jepperson"] | Tight End | Brandon Valley (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271077" first="Lincoln" last="Carlson"] | Wide Receiver | Harrisburg (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="149442" first="Eli" last="Oxner"] | Defensive Back | Rapid City Stevens (SD)</strong> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>South Dakota Mines (6)</strong></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">South Dakota (5)</span> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="271516" first="Konner" last="Berndt"] | Running Back | Sturgis (SD)</b> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151278" first="Gabe" last="Frerichs"] | Linebacker | Sioux Falls Washington (SD)</strong> <strong>Taylor Hojer | Defensive Line | Northern State/Oldham-Ramona-Rutland (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271473" first="Dominik" last="Smith"] | Kicker | Sturgis (SD)</strong> <strong>Braden Temple | Defensive Back | Sturgis (SD)</strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">North Dakota (1)</span> <strong>Dylan McDonald | Offensive Line | Glenburn (ND)</strong> <strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">University of Sioux Falls (4)</span></strong> All from South Dakota. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56471" first="Tyree" last="Nave"] | Running Back | Sioux Falls Roosevelt (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="56458" first="Chase" last="Kelly"] | Defensive Tackle | Florence-Henry (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151290" first="Garret" last="Hoffman"] | Defensive Back | Sioux Falls Washington (SD)</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="271160" first="Noah" last="Robertson"] | Tight End | Sioux Falls Washington (SD)</strong> <strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Dakota Wesleyan (21)</span></strong> All from South Dakota.
