USF Prospect Camp: Nate’s Standouts, Part III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SIOUX FALLS--</strong> One last fire out of our standouts from the USF Prospect Camp, as we look at our final five. which includes three 2026 trenches prospects to watch with high upside, a small town 2025 sleeper, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ty Archambeau, OL, Tripp-Delmont/Armour/Andes Central/Dakota Christian, SD 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/TyArchambeau">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another TDAACDC prospect that popped out during 1v1s was 2025 offensive linemen Ty Archambeau, one of two from that school that appeared in my notebook during the USF prospect camp. Ty uncovered great strength and physicality in the reps I watched, and was appealing too with his pad-level he showed off. The 6'3 295 pounder is a prospect that I like his upside he can grow developing more balance with his footwork explosiveness and I felt from to start to finish of camp, he took the coaching he received and put it his play quickly. Ty would be a great fit for the NAIA schools in South Dakota in my eyes as one that is under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Rip Siemonsma, OL, Sioux Falls O'Gorman, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/RSiemonsma19">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of two Sioux Falls O'Gorman 2026 prospects that intrigued me in Sioux Falls, Rip Siemonsma was by far one the best 2026 offensive linemen I watched in attendance at USF. The swift speed of his hands was intriguing to watch during the reps I watched with the OL group as well as being solidly on point with his constant pad-level as well. Rip also showed off his sudden punch that could quickly drive leverage into the next level. The 6'0 240 also has an intriguing 75 inch (6'3) wingspan that should only help him develop as OL prospect that I will need to add to our board as a stockriser in the 2026 class from his outing with the USF Cougars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402520' first='Noah' last='Duran'], DL/OL, Sioux Falls Jefferson, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Noah_Duran123">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got flashes of Noah's talents as a defensive linemen as an 8th grader with the Midwest Miners, as he came into the USF prospect camp as what I feel is his best position fit at the next-level. Noah in my eyes, showed off the best hands amongst the group of 2026 defensive linemen as he showed off not only plenty of strength, but had the fluid get off on his blocks which show you how well-versed his athleticism shows off for the position. He has shown off as a prospect in the trenches that has that blew blue collar work ethic you want on your college roster in the future. He showed off some upside to develop in the coming months based on his testing numbers at USF, as Noah I believe is one that has a big junior season upcoming in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Antonio Ledbetter, DL, Brandon Valley, SD 2026 </strong><a href="https://x.com/led73996">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the defensive linemen in the 2026 class at the USF prospect camp that I loved the ceiling on was Brandon Valley's Antonio Ledbetter. This young was a 2026 prospect that grasped the concepts given to him by college coaches quickly. Antonio played with explosive hips on his first steps and with that came a lot of fluidity in his lower body with his fire. I also was intrigued by his position angles he took to the ball showing shades of his football IQ. Somewhat raw at the moment, but if Antonio can keep developing his hands with his 5'10 235 pound body, he will get a shot to play at the next-level from my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1120563' first='Logan' last='Rudningen'], LB, Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, MN 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/LoganRudningen">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1284931,"width":"341px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/05/4-Logan-Rudningen-crop-4813x3161-1716570940.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1284931" style="width:341px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Logan is a linebacker that I has caught my eyes on a couple times this summer, as he left me a good impression at the USF prospect camp and is a prospect that I saw his stock improve from Spring to Summer camps. Logan was impresssive during Indy Drills, as I thought he was one of the more impressive linebackers with his attention to detail and vision with attacking the hip with plenty of pure instincts collapsing quickly around the ball. A middle linebacker that has excellent range from sideline to sideline that we have seen on tape and in person last season, as Logan also has the textbook physical tackling ability you want at the linebacker position. Logan is a linebacker a program like USF or others in the NSIC should go outside the measurables for cause the high motor, great frame, and football IQ Logan has is certainly worth a look in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
