Continue ReadingBy far the best looking prospect from top to bottom I have watched at Missouri Valley Conference camps this summer is Columbus (WI) Colton Brunell Colton Brunell 6’1″ | 205 lbs | ATH Columbus | 2024 State WI . Colton showed off as a prospect that has consistently looked like a game-changer no matter what position he ends up playing at the next-level. He started his day in Grand Forks by keeping up the trend of his explosion levels that I have seen for over a year now, logging a 10’1 (twice) and from the testing numbers, had one of the biggest triple jumps at the UND Flagship Camp overall. Colton showed off in Indy and 1v1s a prospect with excellent determination and one that is always willing to go the extra mile as Colton showed off excellent change of direction and huge amounts of physicality with his downhill running ability that is super well-balanced thru contact. The week after camp, Colton gave his verbal commitment to the Fighting Hawks as North Dakota lands one of Wisconsin’s most explosive overall prospects and got an absolute steal in this young man as another key piece coming to the Fighting Hawks from the Madison Area.

Isaiah is a WR prospect that popped onto our radar from his performance at this spring’s Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, and certainly did not slow down his stock-rising skillsets at the UND Flagship Camp. He keeps looking more catchy into summer with his change of direction which he showed off swiftly up in Grand Forks from my eyes. Isaiah showed off quick instincts with adjusting back to the ball with his quick trigger and developing hands as a prospect that plays the role of a swiss army knife on tape offensively at Fertile-Beltrami as a prospect with a heck of amount of elusive skillsets. Isaiah will need to keep developing his hands and route-running over the coming years for more next-level looks at wide receiver but the speed and open field awareness this young man has and the driving skillsets he is growing certainly looks like a scholarship-level prospect at the next-level.

Highlights
Ean is a Sun Prairie West prospect I have been tracking for a bit from my hometown, and was one that certainly popped out with his athleticism at the UND Flagship Camp in Grand Forks. He showed off plenty of smooth physicality from the Indy drills reps I watched as a linebacker prospect that plays with a high football IQ in space. Ean also caught my eyes with his first steps in every rep I watched from him in Grand Forks, as he demonstrated a solid knack with his vision and has solid technique when within range of the ball carrier. With his recent tape from his junior season, Ean shows plenty of consistency with what I saw up in Grand Forks, as a feisty inside linebacker that has quick hands with his shedding ability and a downhill trigger that meets the ball carrier quickly. Ean has a handful of NSIC offers and should gain more attention in the coming months as a prospect that I believe is slightly under the radar. Twitter
Aiden is a slightly undersized inside linebacker prospect at the UND Flagship Camp that showed off a plethora of fluid change of directions from the reps I watched from him last Saturday. He carried himself in the 1v1 reps like a linebacker that plays the inside well-balanced but his trigger can play with significant range for his size as a linebacker that can carry from sideline to sideline. I also came away impressed with Aiden’s football IQ, as he showed off superb vision from the one particular rep where I saw Aiden having to improvise in which he showed off what you see on tape from this young man as he shows a consistent base of this on tape. I also like the feisty aggression in Aiden’s hands off his sheds from UND as this kid shows off a blue-collar work ethic in my eyes. Aiden is another prospect from UND that shocks me that he doesn’t have his first offer yet. Twitter

Our DB1 in North Dakota and in my eyes, the entire Dakotas in EEK’s Joe Kramlich Joe Kramlich 6’0″ | 170 lbs | DB Kulm | 2025 State ND yet again after an impressive showing at one of our Prep Redzone Showcases, showed off his continued length taking shape in the 1v1 reps I got to watch, as even since May, Joseph has taken his game up a handful of notches with his ball-tracking and recognizing how to utilize his length with a smoother base. He also has from what I recall gotten his pro agility numbers down as well, recording a high 4.2 which is about .15 seconds better from what I call from our spring PRZ Dakotas Showcase. Joseph I also feel has rose up his ceiling with his vision, as I thought his physicality had improve slightly within routes by how close-knit he was playing with the WRs he went up against. I have already heard college coaches being ready for the 2025 floodgates to open up for recruiting this young man as Joseph should see plenty of next-level interest come his way as DB1 in the Dakotas.

Last Saturday at the UND Flagship Camp was the first time I was able to watch our 2025 North Dakota WR1 in Velva’s Reggie Bruner Reggie Bruner 6’0″ | 185 lbs | WR Velva | 2025 State ND in action, in which he showed off why he took off as a newcomer to our 2025 class and has developed significantly since his sophomore season tape. At 6’1 190 pounds, Reggie utilized his length with appealing hands with his catch radius and even showed that there is still a ceiling to grow those skillsets even better in the coming years. He showed off a reactive twitch with his routes with his COD, as a WR prospect that I thought was more twitchy that what he gives off on tape from 2022. He also showed how much instinct he plays with and was able to cash in with his creative routes to record a handful of wins in 1v1s. Reggie certainly looks like a small school prospect that should be added to several area recruiting boards when the 2025 recruiting calendar opens up in September. Twitter
Carter was a linebacker prospect I have heard of from our Wisconsin scout Mark Johnson a bit, and is one that caught my attention during the UND Flagship Camp as well. I loved watching this young man’s poise that he showed off on the bulk of reps I got to watch versus the running backs, as Carter showed off well-versed technique with his pad-level and heavy physicality that with his solid footwork left his mark winning a handful of reps against the running back group. Carter also showed off fluid attention to detail from my eyes, as a prospect that was persistently working with the UND staff to lock in more with his technique. The tape I watched from Carter showed off some high-charging instincts not just with his skillsets but with his massive motor he plays with. I have found out he is also very active in the weight room (545 squat, 410 bench press) especially this summer, as a under the radar prospect with just one WIAC offer thus far but looks like he should have a big senior season for Wisconsin Rapids.

Grant was a DB prospect that is newer to my Dakotas radar, and is one that showed off what he can do with his hands from the outdoor reps I watched from him at the UND Flagship Camp. I liked what I saw out of Grant with his ball-tracking ability as he struck a chord with me with attention to detail with his finish thru his hands from the reps I caught out of him from the defensive back group. Grant on tape shows off a very reactive change of direction with his vertical as he can turn his head quickly to adjust to the ball with rapid instincts. Grant will be a 2024 defensive back prospect that plays way bigger than his 5’9 170 pound measurables will show you as a DB that has a fluid football IQ from what I caught in Grand Forks as a 1st Team All-State defensive back in 2022.

Owen was one of the smallest wide receivers I got to watch at the UND Flagship Camp, however he showed off some intriguing skillsets for his 5’6 size. He showed off good balance in his footwork as a 2025 wide receiver with some promising upside in the coming years. I also liked the awareness Owen showed around the edges of the field from the reps I watched in Grand Forks as a WR prospect out of Williston that I will have to track his junior season for more tape based on what I saw at UND.
