North Dakota: First Five Newcomers to the 2025 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>NORTH DAKOTA--</strong> We keep the parity from our South Dakota 2025 newcomers content into North Dakota to take a look at the first five newcomers on our radar. These prospects are in no particular order, but are just outside the top 25 and beyond, but have a bright future playing on Saturdays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1185198' first='Ryan' last='Kallenbach'], QB, Jamestown </em></strong><em><a href="https://twitter.com/KallenbachRyan">Twitter</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most impressive new addition at quarterback in this North Dakota 2025 class was Jamestown's [player_tooltip player_id='1185198' first='Ryan' last='Kallenbach']. Ryan shows off a ton of durability and play extension at 6'0 175 pounds as he controls the quarterback position with sound poise. I like the balanced throws he makes with his intermediate routes with just enough precision to get his wide receiver to catch and go. Ryan is certainly a quarterback that can air it out on all three levels and has escapability with his legs. Also, comes from a family tree of football players from Minnesota State-Moorhead so that pedigree shows off furthermore why Ryan is a next-level QB target.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185199' first='Jacob' last='Foss'], OL, Grand Forks Red River </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Jacobfoss05">Twitter</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacob is an offensive guard out of Grand Forks Red River that I see as really under the radar. He shows off one of the strongest finishes that I have seen out of the Midwest offensive line around his size at 6'0 235 pounds. He also impresses me with his combo blocking and quick twitch from one blocker to another with his instinctive foot speed he creates. He certainly is a guard prospect that in my eyes plays almost a step ahead with his football IQ and has a lot of tape yet to show his full skillsets. Excited to see the upside come out in 2024 for this young man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185197' first='Kaden' last='Kraft'], WR, Minot </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/KadenKraft25">Twitter</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is not one pair of hands I would trust more around the edges of the field in the red zone in North Dakota's 2025 class more than Minot's [player_tooltip player_id='1185197' first='Kaden' last='Kraft'], who is a newcomer to our rankings. His ability to constantly show off the balance in his upper and lower body to seal the landing in bounds is impressive to watch on tape. Kaden is also superb with the high-traffic catches he makes consistently as he shows off plenty of polished awareness that it were me, I would love to have on my roster. He certainly is crafty too with his route-running as changing speeds, head fakes, and more show off the versatile work ethic that at 5'11 165 pounds shows a WR prospect that plays way bigger.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184868' first='Conner' last='Harvison'], DB, Bismarck</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/conner_harvison">Twitter</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An All-Conference selection as a junior, Conner shows off the pre-snap read instincts that just pinpoints into the ball carrier from my eyes. He is not biggest free safety out there (5'10 180) but I am impressed with the length of strides he shows off when gliding downhill to the ball, as his lower body length poses more like a 6'1-6'2 safety with his quick presence. Conner also shows off to be a human hit stick which is a must as a defensive back, and plays with a chip on his shoulder. One of the hardest hitters in the Dakotas is one you should get to know early college coaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184873' first='Brett' last='Miller'], LB, <em>Bismarck</em> </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Brettjmiller200">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You can tell by the first clip of tape that Brett is a gritty linebacker that plays with a fearless demeanor. The 6'0 200 pounder shows off a wrestler-like physicality that I love at the linebacker postilion whenever he makes contact. Very impressed with his his hands getting off his sheds, as he doesn't just quickly get off his blocks he still shows the violence in the hands as he is pulling off trying to make his next-move. Brett is a middle linebacker that I would love to see how he looks this summer in pass coverage as there is no doubt that this kid is a certified run-stuffer in the inside box and around its edges, but that would be a new asset I would love to see at summer camps. Brett is another with great Saturday potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
