North Dakota: 2025 Winter Newcomers, Part III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NORTH DAKOTA- We take a late night look at more 2025 Winter Newcomers out of North Dakota in Part III. This group has the tallest offensive linemen in the Dakotas, one of the speediest slot receivers in North Dakota and two other prospects that college coaches will like the position flexibility they have.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184867' first='Tommy' last='Ahneman'], OL, West Fargo Sheyenne </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/TommyAhneman">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tommy is by far the longest offensive lineman in the Dakotas at 6'10 235 pounds, and that length shows vividly throughout his tape. What impresses me most about Tommy is the athleticism he has within his lower-body, as his footwork came in on my evaluation much faster than I would have expected, as a offensive line prospect that has some raw skillsets yet to be developed. With his gifted length, he can develop this offseason his pad-level and more strength with his leverage to finish more blocks on his upcoming tape. He has some D1 basketball offers, but I am sure we will see some football offers come his way this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185194' first='Jensen' last='Schulz'], WR, Mandan</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/JensenSchulz2">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You may want to avoid blinking when you watch Jensen on tape, as this young man has speed and finish thru the roof as a 6'0 175 pound slot receiver. Jensen also shows off an impressive catch radius and athleticism on throws that are off-line as even when he gets back in position, this kid shows off plenty of balanced quickly with his next steps with his reactive body control with the ball. I expect Jensen to likely be a popular name you will want to track this summer if you are a college coach as one of the top slot receivers North Dakota has to offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185195' first='Ethan' last='Fornshell'], DL/OL, Kindred</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/EthanFornshell">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first defensive tackle I believe we have had amongst our 2025 North Dakota stockrisers hails from the hotbed of the Kindred Vikings in 5'11 250 pound [player_tooltip player_id='1185195' first='Ethan' last='Fornshell'] who is DL2 in this 2025. Ethan is quite impressive with his pad-level and quick leverage he is able to get fiercely off the snap. Getting deeper in his tape, you can tell Ethan plays with a heck of a motor and work ethic as I was also impressed with how well he moved laterally on tape as the physicality Ethan shows off i would describe as vicious when he is coming downhill at you. Ethan certainly is another Kindred Vikings prospect that looks like a Saturday target at the next-level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184874' first='Reed' last='Vining'], DB, Fargo Davies</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1195285,"width":"295px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/02/Reed-Vining-crop-339x223-1709100403.jpg?w=338" alt="" class="wp-image-1195285" style="width:295px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reed impresses me on tape early with his twitchy athletic movement that can quickly pinpoint his range to create more vision from what I can grasp putting him in a sound line to attack the ball. Whether he is attacking the ball carrier or in pass coverage, the physical presence Reed certainly packs a punch showing off the versatility he for either safety position at the next level. I also like this kid's awareness in pass coverage, as he has glue instincts to the pass-catcher but handles his ball-tracking with great composure. Reed is a 2025 prospect I would put in the category as one of a few I expect to rise this summer and upwards by next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
