<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NORTH DAKOTA--</strong> We take a look at the stockrisers that saw their rank improve since our last 2025 update due to their developing play thru the first 5-6 weeks of the 2023 football season in North Dakota. This list of stockrisers is extremely loaded with talent built for playing on Saturdays, especially at the Division I and Division II levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["720279"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The durability at the running back position that Griffin brings has to be the best in the state in this class by far as plenty of teams have struggled these first few weeks bringing this 6'0 220 pound running back to the turf. He has shown growth thru four weeks in my eyes with growing his balance, body control and being able to use it to his full advantage even as a pass-catcher that runs like a bull getting downhill. Griffin has also grown from last evaluation with his agility, as this young man has gotten swiftly instinctive on his cuts as his football IQ and skillsets lead him as the #1 running back in North Dakota and moved up five spots to #7 overall in our rankings. Certainly has Division I football in his future. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/GriffinBrod23u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["356867"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1012171,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"North Dakota's and in my eyes all of the Dakotas DB1 in Ellendale-Edgeley-Kulm's [player_tooltip player_id='356867' first='Joseph' last='Kramlich'] has had a fast-tracking first 6 weeks of the 2023 season. He has grown significantly with his vision no matter where he is on the football field as swiss army knife that has been dynamic in pass coverage as well week after week with how fluid his ball-tracking is along with his awareness getting his head around. He has a long reach at 6'1 that has agile footwork to jump the route or offensively, use his stretching upper body as a pass-catcher that does not need much space to operate in high-traffic areas and shows off a quick twitch to stretch into the open field with his elite vision. Joseph moves up three spots from #9 overall to #6 overall, which carries more weight than the numbers shown within our top 10 overall prospects. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/joseph_k25u0022u003eTwitter u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["720275"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The Fargo South Bruins gunslinger [player_tooltip player_id='720275' first='Brevin' last='Wark'] is another stockriser in our 2025 North Dakota rankings, as a prospect that has improved his skillsets since last evaluation from these first few weeks of the season. What sticks out to me with Brevin is the growth of his poise he shows in the pocket as I can tell from last season to now, he's grown much more comfortable. This young also shows off a fiery quick release on all three levels of the field and the mobility to create better angles with his receiving core from the run. I love his consistency with his arm strength especially on intermediate routes as Brevin moved up 13 spots to #21 overall from #34 overall. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/BrevinWarku0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["356831"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Bismarck Legacy's [player_tooltip player_id='356831' first='Kodee' last='Peterson'] is a right tackle that has developed thru the first handful of weeks of the 2023 season as a stockriser in our 2025 North Dakota class. This young man shows consistency getting to the second level and has developed with a stronger pad-level since last evaluation in his growing 6'3 300 pound frame. Kodee is a destructive blocker as he shows quick barreling strength that has a strong punch to drive down his defender usually very early in his reps as an effective run-blocker for the Sabers. He also is developing quicker with his reach and strength with his angle blocking as he shows persistent hands from across his body that show off some upside to grow. Kodee moves up 5 spots to #27 overall and is now OL3 in our North Dakota 2025 rankings. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/PetersonKodeeu0022u003eTwitter u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["802398"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":1012174,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Easton is a 6'3 165 pound QB prospect that has developed nicely within the early part of the season especially standing out with his developing mobility outside of the pocket. Easton has grown most with his touch throws on intermediate routes as he shows off precision with his throwing ability. He has some growth with his upside as far as his footwork goes, but I like how quick Easton is with his reads and how quickly I have seen his football IQ grow since last evaluation as a QB prospect that has climbed into our top 60 prospects in the state of North Dakota's 2025 class. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/EastonBergrudu0022u003eTwitter u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["356875"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":830531,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Moving inside our top 10 is Minot Bishop Ryan quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='356875' first='Jett' last='Lundeen'], who was our Prep Redzone Dakotas QB MVP last Spring at Northern State. Jett has certainly grown with his mobility outside of the pocket from these first 6 weeks on tape, as QB prospect that has grown sufficiently in the run game with his very high football and growing run vision. We have always known that Jett has a cannon of an arm, however I have been impressed with how he has grown with his ball placement with his Lions receiving core. The most poised quarterback in North Dakota's 2025 class moves from #11 overall to #9 overall as QB2 in our 2025 rankings as a four sport athlete as well. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JettLundeenu0022u003eTwitter u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["720272"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"In one of the first times from I can recall that we have had a kicker/punter be a stockriser in our rankings, you will want to check out the tape from Fargo South's [player_tooltip player_id='720272' first='Keaton' last='Docken'] to see why. The proficiency of Keaton's leg has setup the Bruins with plenty of touchbacks on special teams these first handful of weeks, as Keaton has also seen improved hangtime and distance with his punts as well. Keaton also is a kicker prospect that carries plenty of hangtime on his field goals as that has grown since I watched him over the summer as a prospect that is a quick learner when given a new skillset to develop. He certainly in my eyes shows a prospect that can kick at the Division I level. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/DockenKeatonu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511b701c47f6"} /-->
