There will be some seperate series coming out from camp, however this will do it for the Midwest prospects. This list is dominated by a stock-rising 2025 prospect, a 2025 prospect with good next level pedigree, and two 2024 prospects that are starting to make waves in their recruiting and will continue to grow it in the coming months.
Trillion has had himself an excellent last few months as a stock-rising defensive back moving back home to Minnesota from Vermillion, South Dakota. Every chance I have gotten to watch Trillion, he certainly shows that his ball-tracking has gotten more poised which is exactly what I saw at the UND Flagship Camp in Grand Forks. He also has grown his football IQ as well from the reps I watched at UND, as he showed off more fluidity in his footwork and utilized his technique to the wide receiver down early in their route to not give them much traction to improvise. Trillion has been an MVP a couple times this summer, once for me at the Sioux Falls Sharks 7v7 tournament this summer and then backed up that skillset in a camp setting at the Minnesota State prospect camp a couple weeks ago in which he got his first early offer. The Edina newcomer is going to be a DB to watch for the Hornets in the coming seasons and although he is moving from 11A football in South Dakota to 6A in Minnesota, his length and ball vision should transition nicely in the coming years and at the next-level as they don’t hand out early offers like that in the NSIC unless you ball out at camp.

Yet another prospect from what I would consider my team MVP of Fargo Shanley at the UND Flagship Camp was their swiss army knife Kaden Christmann Kaden Christmann 6’0″ | 190 lbs | ATH Fargo Shanley | 2024 State ND . Kaden first caught my eyes with his very efficent return game instincts from my live game evaluation versus Fargo South last year, as Kaden has continued to show off that overall athletic fluidity in his game in Grand Forks. Kaden showed off at UND a prospect that where you line him up at the next-level a demeanor and work ethic that is built to finish, as he impressed me with his finishing ability in the early testing session of the UND Flagship Camp. Kaden also has grown with improving his agility in the last 6-7 months as he ran a 4.5 in the pro agility drills in Grand Forks. Kaden on tape shows off excellent vision and wide hands that plays bigger than his 6’0 200 pound frame and you can bet is still developing as an inside linebacker with a high football ceiling in my eyes. The deeper you get into his tape, the more you see how reactive his burst trigger becomes at linebacker as Kaden has finally started to catch waves in the NSIC with a few offers from local programs in MN and ND and one that should see continued growth on his recruiting trail over the coming months.

Every time I get to watch Monte, he seems to get even faster and faster each time. He had the best 40-yard dash times out of the 300+ participants at the UND Flagship camp recording in the high 4.3s. Not only does Monte burst off with speed, I can tell this young man has been developing with his hands as he showed off great poise in the reps I caught out of him in 1v1s in Grand Forks. Monte is the definition of a running back you go outside of the measurables for, as at 5’6 165 pounds he’s built like an mid-sized SUV with his frame and on tape you will see Monte gather plenty of yards after contact within the inside box. One of Monte’s developments for me is to improve his finish with his runs when he gets to the edges of the field as I believe this young man can develop smoother endurance when he gets into the open field. Monte certainly will be a prospect that will hit the peak of his recruitment in the coming months, you can bet on it as I have watched this kid for years now and he has grown his character substantially over his high school career.

The Edina Hornets rocked this last batch of Midwest standouts especially in their 2025 class, as linebacker Nolan Anderson showed off a prospect to watch in the coming years. Nolan caught my eyes into Indy Drills as I thought he showed off more eye-catching change of direction with his game-speed in those reps I watched as I was intrigued with his agile athletic movement. He also showed off solid attention to detail skills with what he was given by the UND staff and putting it to light in his next reps. It might be early to call without tape yet, however I like the chances of Nolan’s development over the coming years to play at the next-level.
