North Dakota: 2022 11AA Preseason All-State Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NORTH DAKOTA--</strong> We head north into North Dakota, where we evaluate our 11AA Preseason All-State Team in North Dakota's largest football division. This list has 60+ prospects on it as we evaluated every position group ,from quarterbacks all the way down to the specialists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>How did we put our list together?</strong> We spent many hours over the last 24 hours watching tape on some of North Dakota's best football players across 11AA to accumulate the best of the best prospects from Fargo to Minot and everywhere in between. The bigger the list of prospects per position, the more next-level talent that group possesses in our eyes and should open more eyes of college coaches across the Roughrider State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>11AA Preseason Player of the Year</strong>: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":240234,"width":169,"height":253,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/27-Oliver-Lucht-684x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-240234" width="169" height="253"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='101150' first='Oliver' last='Lucht'], ATH, Fargo Davies (2023)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>11AA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='160921' first='Peyton' last='Arndt'], RB, Bismarck Century (2023)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>11A Preseason Defensive Player of the Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='223084' first='Karter' last='Menz'], DE, West Fargo Sheyenne (2023)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Quarterbacks</em></strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>1st Team</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='276809' first='Jayden' last='Speraw'], Minot (2023)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='351546' first='Mason' last='Klabo'], Fargo Davies (2025)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Logan Miller, Bismarck Legacy (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2nd Team</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='321165' first='Alex' last='Blume'], Williston (2025)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Max Carlson, Mandan (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='56576' first='Kyan' last='Barth'], Bismarck Century (2023)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Running Backs:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>-This group of running backs is loaded with next-level talent from both the first and second teams especially.
