I said it a couple months back, I think this 2025 class is going to have significant depth when we look ahead a few years from now. Why? I will tell you in this first ever 2025 Watch List Debut Preview
A Slew of Talented Little Brothers Dominate this 2025 Class
Identifying the little brothers of prospects we have scouted on this site in the past, never gets old. Minnesota QB Jacob Knuth, South Dakota LB Gage Tennyson, South Dakota State WR Canyon Bauer, Northern State LB Daniel Sedlacek and Northern State DB Payton Hughes all have little brothers in this 2025 class and yes, the secret is out in Harrisburg: Jacob Knuth has twin brothers in 2025 and ones that will have built tons of chemistry by the time they are seniors in QB Sam Knuth Sam Knuth 6'4" | 200 lbs | QB Harrisburg | 2025 State SD and WR Jonah Knuth Jonah Knuth WR Harrisburg | 2025 SD as we welcome now three Knuths to our family tree at Prep Redzone Dakotas in our three yeas of existence.
Which School Really Looks Good in 2025?
You will have to go out to Northwestern North Dakota to find that answer. I really like the depth in the 2025 Class from the Watford City Wolves. Especially when you look at their offense with WR Roman Domerese Roman Domerese 6'0" | 160 lbs | WR Watford City | 2025 ND (6’0 160), WR Calvin Garmann Calvin Garmann 6'4" | 160 lbs | WR Watford City | 2025 ND (6’4 160), RB Daniel Dufek Daniel Dufek 6'1" | 195 lbs | RB Watford City | 2025 ND (6’1 195) and their defensive line with Hunter Barlow Hunter Barlow 6'1" | 185 lbs | DL Watford City | 2025 State ND , who has some growing to do but has the upside.
Could the Tables Be Turning in Bismarck in 2025?
I haven’t yet run the numbers yet for individual programs with prospects on our 2025 Watch List, but the biggest turnout I have found so far comes from the Bismarck Legacy Sabers who had just over 10% of the prospects that made our 2025 Watch List. There is plenty of good film already from this bunch and they are dominating over arch-rival Bismarck Century in this 2025 class as far as the number of prospects (11 to 3). We will evaluate the tape on these Sabers in the coming weeks very heavily but this might be the year that Legacy turns the corner on the Patriots with my early bold prediction. Here is a few names I like early:
Evan Haag Evan Haag 6'2" | 280 lbs | DL Bismarck Legacy | 2025 ND | DL | Bismarck Legacy
Kodee Peterson Kodee Peterson 6'3" | 305 lbs | OL Bismarck Legacy | 2025 State ND | OL | Bismarck Legacy
Benjamin Watson Benjamin Watson QB Bismarck Legacy | 2025 ND | QB | Bismarck Legacy
The Sioux Falls Area Stays Dominant, Don’t Worry
29% (29 of 100) comes from the Sioux Falls Area of our 2025 Watch List. It is no secret that Sioux Falls Area is the most powerful hotbed in all the Dakotas market. Who are a few prospects I like a lot from the area besides from the ones above? Take a look at five prospects I am high on based on the tape already out there:
Tony Ojullo Tony Ojullo 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Sioux Falls Lincoln | 2025 State SD | DB | Sioux Falls Washington
Landon Dulaney Landon Dulaney 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Brandon Valley | 2025 State SD | WR | Brandon Valley
Lincoln Semchenko Lincoln Semchenko 6'4" | 290 lbs | OL Sioux Falls Christian | 2025 State SD | OL | Sioux Falls Christian
Connor Gray Connor Gray 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB Sioux Falls Lincoln | 2025 State SD | QB | Sioux Falls Lincoln
Riley Svanda Riley Svanda 6'0" | 165 lbs | RB Tea Area | 2025 State SD | RB | Tea Area
This 2025 Watch List Will Be Different
Because there is no stockrisers due to this being a debut class we will create a new twist of content similar to these articles we have put out in the past on Prep Redzone Dakotas:
-Small Town Sleepers
-Prospects I Would Offer Right Now
-The College Football Grading Scale (New)
-Quick Hitters
-And Much More!
Stay tuned for a VERY busy summer in North Dakota and South Dakota Prep Redzone Dakotas subscribers!
