Continue ReadingNORTH DAKOTA– 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.
How did we put our list together? 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.

Running Backs:
-This group of running backs is loaded with next-level talent from both the first and second teams especially. Probably one of the most underrecruited position groups in North Dakota, as I am certainly surprised by the lack of attention our 1st team has gotten from college programs as far as offers and interest are concerned.
1st Team
Peyton Arndt Peyton Arndt RB Bismarck Century | 2023 State , Bismarck Century (2023)
Lincon Wiseman, Mandan (2023)
Carl Henry Carl Henry 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Bismarck Legacy | 2023 State , Bismarck Legacy (2023)
2nd Team

Barry Kpeenu, West Fargo Sheyenne (2024)
3rd Team
Savion Stokes Savion Stokes RB West Fargo | 2024 State ND , West Fargo (2024)
Fullbacks:
North Dakota 11AA has some of the deepest groups of fullbacks I have ever evaluated across the Dakotas. With the fullback position sadly going away in some states I have scouted, I love how that is not the case in North Dakota’s 11AA.
1st Team
Isaac Kanega, West Fargo Sheyenne (2023)
Josh Balstad Josh Balstad 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB West Fargo | 2023 State , West Fargo (2023)
2nd Team
Elijah Hayes, Fargo Davies (2023)
Wide Receivers:
This wide receiver list has a handful of prospects that are due for big senior seasons. Tahrye Frank of Mandan looks to be the most intriguing WR prospect to track into this season with his crisp route-running ability.
1st Team
Isiah St. Romain Isiah St. Romain 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Williston | 2024 State ND , Williston (2024)
Tahrye Frank, Mandan (2023)
Ty Kinchen, Minot (2023)
2nd Team
Karsyn Jablonski, Mandan (2023)
Luke Lorenz Luke Lorenz 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Fargo Davies | 2024 State ND , Fargo Davies (2024)
Nicholas Hasbargen Nicholas Hasbargen 6'1" | 160 lbs | WR Fargo Davies | 2024 State , Fargo Davies (2024)
3rd Team
Tate Erickson, Bismarck Century (2024)
Tight Ends:
1st Team
Cole Jahner, Bismarck (2023)
Offensive Linemen:
One of the deepest positions on this Preseason All-State Team. This list has the #1 OL in ND in 2023 in Joel Edland Joel Edland 6'5" | 270 lbs | OL Bismarck Century | 2023 State and the likely #1 OL in 2025 in Bismarck’s Jack Shaffer Jack Shaffer 6'7" | 320 lbs | OL Bismarck | 2025 State ND . John O’Neill of Fargo Davies is one of the more under-the-radar offensive linemen on this list and puts together some excellent reps on tape to end his 2021 season, which leads nicely into 2022.
1st Team
Joel Edland Joel Edland 6'5" | 270 lbs | OL Bismarck Century | 2023 State , Bismarck Century (2023)
Jack Shaffer Jack Shaffer 6'7" | 320 lbs | OL Bismarck | 2025 State ND , Bismarck (2025)
John O’Neill, Fargo Davies (2023)
2nd Team
Bryce Cain Bryce Cain 6'7" | 285 lbs | OL West Fargo Sheyenne | 2023 State , West Fargo Sheyenne (2023)
Carter Okeson, West Fargo Sheyenne (2023)
Brady Boehm, Bismarck Legacy (2023)
Brody Gerhardt, Bismarck Century (2024)
Defensive Linemen:
This might be the first time our Preseason All-State Team in North Dakota has two division I prospects on it, with Karter Menz Karter Menz 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL West Fargo Sheyenne | 2023 State taking his talents to Minnesota and Brennan Palmer Brennan Palmer 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Fargo Davies | 2023 State taking his talent down the street to North Dakota State. Bismarck Legacy’s Vegas George is a newer prospect on our radar. He has a high level of physicality in the reps we got to watch on tape, and I expect this young man to be a stockriser this upcoming season for Bismarck Legacy.
