It’s time to look into Part VI of our standouts from Grand Forks as this group focuses heavily on the quarterbacks, hybrid linebacker/defensive backs, and one my favorite wide receivers from 1v1s that has been building an impressive resume from Spring into Summer.
Milos was one of my favorite quarterbacks overall at the UND Flagship Camp and if I had to give out a QB MVP, it would go to him from what I saw in reps. I loved watching how smooth Milos was with the speed of his progressions as a quarterback that showed off some determined eyes all over the field from what I watched from my in-person evaluation. He also showed off likely one of the most mechanically gifted quarterbacks in Grand Forks last Saturday, as he showed off a very smooth release. I have to assume Milos will have more FCS attention coming his way after PWOs from Wisconsin and Minnesota as a QB prospect that has had an excellent camp season all summer long from my eyes and muliple other PRZ scouts eyes.

Maximus Sims Maximus Sims 6’1″ | 180 lbs | QB Saint Thomas Academy | 2024 State MN is yet another prospect from St. Thomas Academy had an impressive showing in these eyes at the UND Flagship Camp last Saturday. He certainly has shown development with his touch-throwing ability since last watching him at our Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase, as Maximus showed off a fluid and quick release within his 6’2 frame. Maximus was certainly one of the best quarterbacks I watched when he left the pocket last Saturday, as he shows a great base of agility and can improvise when his first look isn’t there to buy himself more time. The Mavericks certainly got a good one with their quarterback of the future with his young man as he pitches in my eyes a strong ceiling in the NSIC to get even better as a high-character prospect that wants to always get better.

Highlights
With so many wide receivers to watch in Grand Forks, there was plenty of pass-catching talent to go around however one of my favorites in 1v1 reps was Dowling Catholic (IA) 2024 Curtis Horras. This is not the first time either that Curtis has stuck out to me so far this year, as Curtis had himself an impressive 7v7 season this winter into spring and has developed as a stock-rising wide receiver out of the state of Iowa. The development Curtis showed me off since my last viewing was his growing change of direction as I saw Curtis on numerous reps show his smooth route-running and adjust to a handful of thrown balls that might have been out of reach for other wide receivers but Curtis found a way to utilize his intution to bring them to his chest. Although he has a handful of scholarship offers at the next-level, somehow I feel Curtis is under the radar still late summer and is one that should continue to catch attention of especially Division II programs in the coming months.

Ben was a QB prospect that I had circled before camp at the UND Flagship Camp as one of North Dakota’s top 2025 quarterbacks from our recent 2025 rankings update and he showed off plenty of the skillsets that intrigued me in the 2022 season and into this summer of camps. I first liked the mobility Ben showed off with his footwork as he showed instinct with his movement inside and outside of the pocket with his awareness. He showed off a quick release on short and intermediate routes from my eyes. Ben also showed off what I liked on tape and during games last season, as his ball placement with his receivers in 1v1 reps was smoothly on point. One of Ben’s developments I see is with his timing of his throws, however I will take that with a grain of salt from what I saw at UND as Ben was not playing with his core receiving like he has at Velva such as WR1 Reggie Bruner Reggie Bruner 6’0″ | 185 lbs | WR Velva | 2025 State ND amongst others. He is certainly a QB to watch for in the 2025 class as a 1st Team All-State QB from the 11B state champs that have a good herd of talent coming back for more in 2023. Twitter
Landen was a first look prospect in a live evaluation to my radar, and was one that showed off some balance with his throwing ability in my eyes. I thought regardless of the route he was throwing in Grand Forks, Landen showed off solid poise with his arm strength and showed persistence rep after rep as a QB prospect that got better from start to finish into from Indy Drills to completion of 1v1s. Landen shows off a plethora of that consistency on tape, as I thought he’s grown a handful since his 2022 season with his ball precision while leading his wide receiver with smoother technique at UND. Certainly showed off he is a QB that needs to be on more college radars from his showing in Grand Forks. Twitter
Chase is another Prep Redzone Minnesota Showcase alum that I got to watch to at the UND Flagship Camp last Saturday and has shown a good amount of growth in his game since my last in-person evaluation last Spring. Where has Chase developed most? I thought he was more locked-in with the timing of his throws with his release from what I saw in Spring. Chase has also developed with adjusting the speed of his his progressions as well as utilizing the proper throw speed when throwing on any of the three levels, as he showed off to be more poised in Grand Forks with that skillset in my eyes.

Ryder is a hybrid LB/DB prospect that I first got my eyes on last season during the 2022 season and ever since then, this kid has trended upwards with his elusiveness with his skillsets. He’s attained even more strength with his hands with his shedding ability, which is one the key skillsets he showed off at the UND Flagship Camp. I also liked the growth of vision Ryder showed off in Grand Forks, as it’s clear that this kid has gotten much more instinctive since last fall in my eyes. Ryder certainly plays with much more game speed than his measurables and testing numbers will show you, although he has shown improvement camp after camp I have seen this summer with his testing.
