The speed of Rayce’s progressions has certainly shined out this 2023 season, as this young man is certainly seeing the field faster as we enter Round 1 of the playoffs. He also shows plenty of elusive athletic mobility as this young man has taken it up a notch with his instincts in the pocket. In his game against Lisbon, Rayce also impressed me with his ball placement as his precision was top notch leading his wide receivers. Even from the run, North Dakota 2024 classes QB1 certainly needs to be an offer now QB prospect on college radars.
Highlights
North Dakota’s #1 overall prospect and Minnesota commit Riley Sunram Riley Sunram 6’5″ | 280 lbs | DL Kindred | 2024 State ND certainly is playing like a man amongst boys to open up Round 1 of playoffs as his strength with his hands is off the charts as we roll into playoff season. Riley has shown off outstanding physicality, as if you happen to blink on any rep he had last week against Harvey-Wells County you might have missed how elusive this future Gopher is within the trenches of the Kindred Vikings defensive line. Riley’s range and growth since we first watched him as a sophomore has blown up several notches, as he has consistent control of his blocker on darn near every rep. Riley has also grown as a prospect that always looks for more as a prospect that is extremely versatile on both sides of the ball and Minnesota is going to love the upside that he will continue to grow with his aggressive hands and excellent balance.
Highlights
Bradyn is a prospect that defensively, has certainly excelled as a stockriser from his performance in the Round 1 playoffs, as his change of direction is very catchy to watch. The amount of explosion Bradyn has in his 5’10 180 pound body is certainly a prospect that has a quick trigger to climb up a level and cause chaos with his downhill physicality. In the backfield, he has taken it up a notch with his elusiveness between the tackles as Bradyn is going to be an athlete that is going to be tough to catch in these playoffs.
Highlights
Peder’s length of fluidity with his running ability, just has continued and continued to grow thru his senior season and it shows off vividly on tape against Jamestown last weekend at the North Dakota State commit continues to show why he has been our #1 athlete in the 2024 class for as long as we have had our 2024 rankings class out and the Bison and us, saw that very early with how much upside Peder has. Peder also showed last week not just that fluidity, but the excellent change of direction he has, as play number two on tape shows a smooth take off out of contact as a tailback that can swiftly cut north bound with the strength Peder has in his lower body. Not to mention, Peder’s elusive trigger off the snap at outside linebacker shows off a sideline to sideline weapon that will I am sure be a local hometown favorite just up the road at the FargoDome in the coming years.
Highlights
Isaac sure as all heck showed off his elusive skillsets last week in the Squirrels rushing attack, as this young man showed off some quick reactive instincts for Central Cass especially around the edges of the field. Isaac is another running back that plays with another gear in his arsenal when he explodes thru contact as his burst has a ton of juice. With all that speed and elusiveness we mentioned, Isaac also shows off balanced patience and it certainly helps having one of the deeper offensive lines 11A has to offer as Isaac and Central Cass face a good test this week in the quarterfinals against Langdon Area-Edmore-Munich. This kid is way under the radar in the 2024 class and is certainly a late bloomer for college coaches to know ASAP and is a workhorse in the weight room as well. Twitter
