<p><strong>SOUTH DAKOTA--</strong> To put a wrap on Week 4 in the Mount Rushmore State, we analyzed our last batch of prospect that made significant noise last week. This is one of the first times since we launched in October 2020 that I felt it was necessary to do multiple parts for our South Dakota Big Dogs of the Week. Let us meet Part II!</p>

Even though his tape is extremely light, Avery passes the eye test with his agility with his first move you see with his change of direction. Avery also shows off a back that despite the lack of tape, is a meat-grinder thru contact and shows off a good work ethic for every yard. Hopefully get to see his name pop up more for the Golden Eagles rushing attack as a very under the radar running back to watch out of Aberdeen.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["798250"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eStat Line: u003c/strongu003eTBDrnrnMy gut told before the season that this young man was going to be a stockriser in this 2025 class, and thru the first three weeks Sioux Falls Lincoln DE [player_tooltip player_id='798250' first='Luke' last='Krempges'] has been just that. Regardless if it is with his hands or downhill motor, Luke plays with a heck of an amount of physicality especially against Sioux Falls Jefferson last week. At 6'5 230 pounds he has the Division I measurables and a wiry first step to the ball, which is consistent throughout his tape. This September the Division I schools have started giving Luke a handful of attention, and I would expect him to be one of the earlier offers in this South Dakota 2025 class. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Luke_Krempgesu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Spencer Bartling","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Sioux Falls Washington","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eStat Line: u003c/strongu003eN/ArnrnSpencer is a left tackle that popped out last Friday night to my eyes against Sioux Falls Roosevelt as a 6'1 280 pound hog molly that packs a punch. I love the finish Spencer has with his drive blocking, as a one that gets to the second level with persistence and has forceful speed when he has control of his blocker with an edgy downhill presence. My fellow PRZ Dakotas scout called it out back in April and it still holds true, that Spencer is significantly under the radar still waiting for that first offer out of the 2024 class. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/SpencerBartlingu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Ethan Vis","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Tea Area","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eStat Line: u003c/strongu003eTBDrnrnEthan was a 2024 defensive back prospect that popped out to me this summer as one of my standouts from the Augie prospect camp, and the instinct he shows on tape in a tough loss against Sioux Fall O'Gorman. Ethan also shows off well-versed vision whether in pass coverage or playing off the ball, as a DB that finds just enough wiggle room to finish on tackles getting off his blocks. Ethan certainly looks to me as a NSIC target that should get more attention brewing into mid-season from Dakotas NSIC programs. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/EthanVis205u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["294169"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eStat Line: u003c/strongu003eTBDrnrnBased on last week's tape, it is clear why the South Dakota State quarterback commit [player_tooltip player_id='294169' first='Jack' last='Henry'] has quick upside that the Jackrabbits saw earlier than anyone as I like the development of the poise Jack has grown in and outside of the pocket. Jack has also developed better ball placement with his arm strength with his growing chemistry with his Quarriers wide receivers as this kid might have the best arm strength outside of the pocket that South Dakota has in the 2024 class. Jack will certainly be a climber in our 2024 rankings after the season, as a QB prospect that has a super bright future. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JackHenry_24u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["208967"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eStat Line: u003c/strongu003e327 total yards (254 rush, 73 receiving)rnrnThe word big is an understatement to show off the game that Sioux Falls Roosevelt had last Friday in their 35-26 win over Sioux Falls Washington. Jaxsen ran with a chip on his shoulder for the Rough Riders as he also was excellent getting thru heavy contact areas. He also had extremely instinctive vision as an north-south runner that ran with probably the most fluidity we saw from the running back position in South Dakota last week. How Jaxsen doesn't have an offer yet that we can track, is unreal to me as he has been the workhorse for the Rough Riders rushing attack this season as the #11 ranked overall prospect in South Dakota's 2024 class. u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Jax_grevengoedu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6504cc3b4d41d"} /-->
