South Dakota 11AAA 2024 Preseason All-State Team: Defense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SOUTH DAKOTA-</strong> Time to unleash into the Preseason coverage with our yearly 11AAA Preseason All-State Team. With a new season coming very soon, we updated our 2025 rankings in South Dakota, and the 2026 rankings will be done by early next week. We will unload several of these teams before the season starts starting with the big dogs in 11AAA, the division with the most depth of college football prospects in the Dakotas in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>How We Put Our 11AAA Team Together</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I will give my quick spiel on what we look for when making these teams like we have been doing for years here at PRZ Dakotas. <strong>Every single prospect has to have their tape readily available from 2023</strong>, however this summer we put the pedal on the floor with several live evals from college camps throughout the Midwest which also moved some prospects up a team or down a team as those that know me well, I am big on the live-evaluation as we spend more time on the road scouting prospects than any football outlet out there. <strong>We also do not factor in our Prep Redzone Dakotas rankings with this team</strong> and here is why. We graded each prospect on this list by their projected season value, not their ranking due to their will be a handful of prospects that might be named first team in at their position, but we have seen year after year prospects that are ranked higher have higher upside than their team on this list might show. By the numbers, we had <strong>53 athletes</strong> in 11AAA that made our 11AAA 2024 All-State Team for Defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p
