Continue ReadingDAKOTAS- We now have unleashed our newest 2024 rankings for Prep Redzone Dakotas, with some major changes in play since our last updates. What were our Dakotas rankings, have now been converted into separate states, North Dakota and South Dakota. You may ask, why did we make this change? One of the biggest reasons we felt this was best was the amount of football talent both states bring to the table as separating them doesn’t stack one state versus the other. And now prospects are able to add the caption to their Twitter, etc. “#1 DB in North Dakota.”, etc. We also felt this change gears better to the college programs that subscribe to us to easily tabulate who the best prospects are in the each state they recruit, (North Dakota and South Dakota) as filtering the 2024 rankings and future classes by state allows them to easier pull info on the Prep Redzone Dakotas website smoother for their recruiting boards in the future.
The New Breakdown
North Dakota: We now have nearly 110 prospects ranked our watch listed in our prospect database with 100+ being ranked.
South Dakota: The Mount Rushmore State topped out to 165+ prospects with nearly 150 of those prospects being ranked and the other 16 on our watchlist.

What is on tap this week in the Dakotas 2024 class?
Stockrisers- Even though the rankings were filtered by state, we still will have plenty stockrisers by state that rose the bar in their next-level recruitment from our last 2024 rankings update.
Newcomers- We have several newcomers we added to our 2024 rankings in both states of North Dakota and South Dakota, some were also stockrisers in our eyes, so we will tabulate who was added and why their stock rose so fast for the select few!
Position Breakdowns, Small Town Sleepers, and More: With the rankings now broken down by state, this will give us more undivided attention of why x prospect is the best of the best at their position in their state. Small town sleepers will of course continue as well, as that is one of my favorite article series I have ever produced in the Dakotas, as there is so many small town prospects that make up some of the Dakotas best prospects in the state.
