Northern State Prospect Camp: Standouts, Session I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ABERDEEN, SD</strong>-- We continue our Dakotas scouting road trip where the map takes us to Aberdeen, South Dakota, home of the best wings in America (Circus Bar and Grill) but also home to the Northern State Wolves Football, who in our second year in attendance, saw even more talent at their prospect camps than in year one in my eyes. Nearly 60 prospects took their talents into Wolves Country and got to see the new confines of Dacotah Bank Stadium, which is one of the most impressive facilities I have walked thru in Division II football. We start with Session I of our in-person evaluations and tell you who balled out in The Deen!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62e30d9e02759","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["363925"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Peyton showed developed footwork from watching him earlier in the summer until last week in Aberdeen at the Northern State camp. I thought he showed off a more agile proponent to his game as his side-to-side movement carried more speed than I remember when I watched him at the Augie Camp in Sioux Falls. This will be Peyton's year as RB1 for Rapid City Stevens, replacing Bemidji State commit and the Dakotas #1 running back, Uriah Glynn. I will be intrigued to watch Peyton and these Raiders this fall, as although they lost some key pieces offensively, but Peyton and up and coming to WR u003cstrongu003eJulian Scottu003c/strongu003e and QB [player_tooltip player_id='160905' first='Jed' last='Jenson'] will be the leaders of their offense come Fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["326820"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Talk about a 2024 defensive end prospect making waves, that was Hamlin's [player_tooltip player_id='326820' first='Jameson' last='Nebel'] at the Northern State Prospect Camp. The amount of development this young man has shown from this spring into summer of prospect camps is outstanding as he's impressed with the physicality in his hands, and his finesse movement at 6'3 250 pounds amongst plenty of other skillsets. Jameson showed tons of rhythm rep after rep in 1v1s in Aberdeen. He has an athletic bend at the line and is bursty out of transition, which is why he showed increased success. Look for this young man to get more attention come this fall when college coaches can contact 2024s, as I think Jameson will have an active fall season along with plenty of interest from the NSIC.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["320368"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Bryce was a prospect out of North Dakota I had been waiting to watch this summer, and glad I got to get him for a live in-person evaluation at the Northern State Prospect Camp. For his 6'7 size, I was impressed with his footwork and the speed he brought with it. I also came away with just how long Bryce's reach was to attach his hands to his defender. From a contact level and mechanical standpoint, Bryce does have some rawness to his game, as he has solid leverage on his punch and latching ability, but needs to add more physicality to it; his 6'8, 280-pound frame. I also see Bryce developing with his vision as we look into 2022 as sometimes, on tape, when he gets to the second level, it takes him some extra seconds to get his hands on someone quickly. I would still bet there are plenty of programs in the NSIC that will take a significant look at Bryce going into fall, as OL prospects that are 6'8 are a dime in a dozen with the athleticism Bryce brings to the table.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='397692' first='Jack' last='Tews']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Brandon Valley","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Jack was another prospect on this list that I was excited to get a live look at out of a strong and developed Brandon Valley program as far as Jack's footwork and speed, he has some development that he will need to grow on into his upcoming junior season. He does have satisfying foot speed, but there is a lot more juice left in the rank for his development over the coming two years. I also thought for his size, Jack could work on his first steps off the snap to enhance his athleticism, as he showed sparks of it, but I think I expected more when watching his tape. Jack's tape shows an OC prospect with a lot of strength to land his punches early and has that finishing gene I love to watch out of all offensive linemen I evaluate. There is no doubt Jack has a ton of strength as his initiation early shows off considerable upside and active hands. I think working on his agility in his lower body should paint a better picture of Jack's game as he will move to the varsity level next year for the Lynx.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["239168"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Tyson was one of my earliest standouts from the Northern State Prospect Camp as he pushed several buttons on what I look for regarding skillsets that I like. The first one? Outplaying the measurables of his frame. Tyson measured in at 6'2, but the range this kid played with, you would have expected he was much bigger than that. He also impressed me with his footwork, as he showed instinctive feet that just clung to the football wherever it was on the field. Tyson has excessively long strides when attacking with his footwork and can cover a massive island in a zone coverage setting. Our Nebraska guys have him labeled as an athlete, and I see why as Tyson shows a quick trigger as a tailback too, is super active in the passing game, and is a significantly strong blocker on multiple levels of the field His tape, to me shows a lot of grit on both sides of the football. I could see Tyson being a solid free safety at the next level, and I have to say I am surprised he just has one NAIA offer, as his game speaks to me as being a sufficient prospect in the RMAC or NSIC at the Division II level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Headshots from the Northern State Prospect Camp</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='320368' first='Bryce' last='Cain'], OL, West Fargo Sheyenne (ND) (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":397581,"width":233,"height":311,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/07/Bryce-Cain-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-397581" width="233" height="311"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='239168' first='Tyson' last='Klein'], ATH, Scottsbluff (NE) (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":397583,"width":235,"height":313,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/07/Tyson-Klein-2-rotated.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-397583" width="235" height="313"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
