Continue ReadingSOUTH DAKOTA– We start off our Preseason Teams in South Dakota with the big dogs in 11AAA. This Preseason All-State Team runs deep, with nearly 80 noteworthy prospects from the Sioux Falls Area and Rapid City schools from top to bottom. There are plenty of committed prospects on this list, but the amount of prospects that would be excellent fits at the Division II, Division III, and NAIA levels is unreal!
How did we put our list together? The bulk of it comes from the amount of tape and continued evaluations we have had from now years on sevaral of these South Dakota prospects but also, we found plenty of prospects that just got onto our radar this summer that paid their dividends and rose their stock thru prospect camp season throughout the Dakotas. We also took input from our other area scouts throughout the Dakotas in this process. We will start off by handing off a few Preseason awards, and then get to jump into our list. Note, some spots will have just a first team, but if I am a college coach, I am looking heavily at some of our deepest teams for talent, especially at wide receiver, quarterback, offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, defensive backs, and athletes from this group.
Preseason Player of the Year: Griffin Wilde Griffin Wilde 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Sioux Falls Jefferson | 2023 State , WR/DB, Sioux Falls Jefferson (2023)
Preseason Offensive Player of the Year: Gavin Ross Gavin Ross 5'11" | 205 lbs | RB Harrisburg | 2023 State , RB, Harrisburg (2023)
Preseason Defensive Player of the Year: Abraham Myers Abraham Myers 6'4" | 215 lbs | DL Sioux Falls Washington | 2023 State , DL, Sioux Falls Washington (2023)
Quarterbacks
Quick Breakdown: The 1st team of this list was the no-brainer of this list as these prospects accolades over the years of evals speak for themselves. I 100% still think this 2nd team group has a handful of prospects that will be playing on Saturdays, as this list has a ton of depth from the 2023 class.

Defensive Linemen:
I have to say, this is one of the deepest classes of Division I talent we have seen in recent years from the defensive line position. The first three prospects on this list were easy to place on the first team, but our #1 prospect on our second team, Brandon Valley’s Isaac Johnson Isaac Johnson 6'0" | 295 lbs | DL Brandon Valley | 2023 State is certainly a prospect we will see on Saturdays as he showed a lot of growth over the summer on the prospect camp circuit.

Linebackers:
I love this 1st and 2nd team we have put together, as every single one of these prospects will be playing college football here in the near future. An intriguing 3rd team prospect for me is Sioux Falls Lincoln’s Isaac Caruzo Isaac Caruzo LB Sioux Falls Lincoln | 2023 State , who missed most of his 2021 season, but from my eyes, has so much to prove in his senior season, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see add him to our list of future college football players from this linebacker group as a senior season boomer.

Defensive Backs:
I will continue to bark up this cherry tree that Sioux Falls Jefferson returning is probably the best secondary in South Dakota in my eyes with London Kolb London Kolb DB SF Jefferson | 2023 State and Beau Giblin Beau Giblin 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Sioux Falls Jefferson | 2023 State still at the helm. Another prospect camp season stockriser is Harrisburg’s Tim Bishop Tim Bishop 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Harrisburg | 2023 State , as this kid has showed off some elite speed and instincts from the reps our Prep Redzone scouts have gotten to watch this summer at various camps across the Midwest.

Who will be RB1 for the Patriots this year? In my eyes, it will be a battle between Brandon Valley transfer Drevin Hodge and the next prospect on our list of honorable mentions, Mose Mahammad Mose Mahammad 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB SF Roosevelt | 2023 State .
