[player_tooltip player_id='725781' first='Reggie' last='Bruner'] (WR/DB), Velva, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2JrhAJ">Highlights</a>   Bruner's tape was a lot of fun to watch! He did so many of the little things well that led up to making the big play happen. Holstering a lot of his speed to run very precise routes to get himself open. Once he was comfortable in his route, he show his speed and really lose a defender. Also showing incredible concentration in traffic or when he was elevating for a high pass. His 'it' factor came after he secured the ball. Speed and muscle helped him rip off big chunks of yardage.   [player_tooltip player_id='356875' first='Jett' last='Lundeen'] (QB), Minot Bishop Ryan, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Jgxsx">Highlights</a>   Lundeen has all the raw tools to be a good QB. His footwork and arm strength are just the tip of the iceberg. Adding in accuracy on those vertical routes as well as the timing he shows in relationship to his receivers' routes. Showing good patience to let the route combos develop before delivering a good pass. What sets him apart is his mobility and awareness. He scrambles really well to buy time, but never loses focus on where his receivers are and throws them open even under pressure.   [player_tooltip player_id='321180' first='Jake' last='Starcevic'] (ATH), Kindred, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/14846018/639a3b1d4210ba04d058eeb8">Highlights</a>   Starcevic is listed as an ATH because he is the QB, but is no slouch on defense at LB. A majority of his film is on the defensive side, and it is very entertaining to watch! The way he flies around the field and finds his way to the football, and then finishes the play. No matter where the ball goes, he is in pursuit and when he gets there, usually lays a big hit on the ballcarrier. He also shows good instincts in his zone in the pass game.   [player_tooltip player_id='356872' first='Karter' last='Peterson'] (TE), Thompson, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2J4Rbz">Highlights</a>   Peterson is a wildcard for the offense and makes himself a key difference maker. Running solid, crisp routes from split out wide or out of his three-point stance. Always getting a good release off the snap and gets into his routes quickly. He makes himself a good target by finding the soft spot in the defense and making sure he is the guy coming down with the football. Lastly, he does a great job extending the line of scrimmage and adding another good blocker on the perimeter.   [player_tooltip player_id='720279' first='Griffin' last='Broderick'] (RB), Minot, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2JGjiN">Highlights</a>   Broderick's game can be described in one word; physical! Taking a hand off or lead blocking, the kid is going to hit some one in the other uniform. Squaring up his blocks out of the backfield perfectly to both lay a hit and open the gap wide for the ballcarrier behind him. When taking handoffs, he is patient enough to let the blocks develop then finding the gap and busting a big gain. Lastly, his game-changing factor is his balance and strength to stay up after hits and gaining as many yards as possible per carry.   [player_tooltip player_id='356867' first='Joseph' last='Kramlich'] (DB), Edgeley/Kulm/Montpelier, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16366918/635de727ff023a05dc8b78d6">Highlights</a>   Kramlich plays the defensive side of the ball to near perfection. He is not looking for the flashy play, just the effective play to get the job done. Reading the routes as they develop and taking the guy in his zone and locking him down! Having good speed keeps him in position to make plays on various routes and the timing to jump routes and pick the pass off. Offensively, he is a good blocker in open space, and a good vertical target.   [player_tooltip player_id='669323' first='JB' last='Walters'] (OL/DL), Grand Forks Red River, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2KpraD">Highlights</a>   Walters is a good interior blocker for both the pass and run game for his offensive unit. Keeping good pad level in pass and run blocking, he is always in good leverage to win the block. His hand technique is perfect on each play, finding the right spot to get the perfect leverage and not get flagged. His 'it' factor on offense is his muscle and motor, does not stop until his guy is in the dirt.   [player_tooltip player_id='321196' first='Jack' last='Shaffer'] (OL/DL), Bismarck, <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16550366/63630c1e96765006943174f5">Highlights</a>   Shaffer had the film to earn the top spot on the this year's rankings. His muscle, footwork and motor all put together really showed his potential for his Junior Senior. Watching him climb levels he was very confident on who he was blocking and how to block him. Whether it was a screen or run, once he had his sights set on his defender, he locked in and made sure he was on the turf before the whistle. Lastly, his footwork and balance moved him well enough in pass blocking to keep his QB clean.
