<p><strong>GRAND FORKS</strong>-- We check in one last time from Session 1 at the UND Flagship Camp to take a look at our <strong>15 standouts </strong>that flashed their talent up in Grand Forks. From a 2028 prospect that I would offer right now to PLENTY of 2025s and 2026s that fit the bill of playing college football at every level of NCAA Football, we tell you all about it on our last camp stop of the summer at the University of North Dakota.</p>

<p>Kolby was an defensive line prospect that although undersized compared to the rest DL group, he played way bigger than his measurables would show off in Grand Forks against bigger competition. Kolby impressed me with his athletic bend he showed off from the start and was agile thru some tight angles in Indy drills, as this young man competed well during the reps I watched in 1v1s moving with great fluidity and great pad-level at the point of attack to drive his defender downhill consistently. Kolby showed off as a defensive end that plays with plenty of wirey skillsets especially with his footwork as he showed off great versatility with his plethora of moves he showed off during 1v1s. Our subscribers should know by now how much I love a wrestler in the trenches out of a Midwest prospect, as I feel this young man should certainly have more offers at his disposal coming soon. I could tell Kolby is a prospect that plays with a ton of grit and a great work ethic and strength and conditioning programs will have fun growing out his frame in their weight room for sure. </p>

<p>Cal was likely one of my favorite defensive line standouts in Grand Forks. He showed off excellent feet for his long 6'5 260 pound frame. I watched Cal win a ton of reps in 1v1s as I was intrigued by how great his pad-level, pursuit angles, and how well he used his instinctive change of direction with his footwork to win reps at the UND Flagship Camp. When looking at his testing numbers in the pro agility, you can just feel that this young man is a late senior sleeper that more college programs should be all over. At that size, he ran a 4.72 (PA) which is absurd for that frame. A huge senior season is coming soon for Cal, and I cannot wait to watch to see how it plays out for the young man up the road at Rogers as he has a FCS ceiling in my eyes.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Golly, am I fan of the talent that the Outstate is producing at the next-level in this Minnesota 2025 class, as I got my first live-eval on Sauk Centre defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='1202006' first='Troy' last='Hansen'] in Grand Forks. Troy was another one that blossomed during 1v1s reps as I was fasicinated with how well-versed his hands were looking at his pad-level. Not only did he pinpoint his hands well on his blocks, but the athletic movement Troy showed off his blocks was just as intriguing. The tape shows with Trent, a ton of versatility especially with his use of the hands as you can quickly see how flourished his football IQ is just which matches my live-eval at the UND Flagship Camp. The top 35 overall prospect in the 2025 class, is a relative unkown where his recruitment lies, but if I was a college program, I would act now, not later as far as offering this young man as he certainly could be an Outstate steal in this 2025 class. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I will admit, I have Gunnar evaluated as a long-snapper in this North Dakota 2025 class, but he showed off some skilsets at the UND Flagship Camp that certainly impressed me. Watching Gunnar's strength he with his hands certainly caught these eyes as he was productive during Indy drills and even had some nice reps during 1v1s that stood out. Gunnar was the definition of "low man wins" in the reps I watched as his low center of gravity was able to get under the pads of who he went up against and despite not being the biggest kid in the defensive trenches at UND, Gunnar showed me that there is more versatility to where he could play at the next level outside of just a long snapper as the college coaches will want a prospect like him that has position flexibility when they need it.</p>

<p>Jack is by far the most well-travelled 2025 defensive tackle prospect out of my notebook of standouts hailing from Plano, Texas outside of Dallas. Jack was a DT prospect that was quite impressive with his hands during 1v1s, as it was quick to tell how wirey Jack's motor was when you watched his reps. The 6'1 285 pounder showed off an agile pull off against the blockers he faced in Grand Forks and erupted with great pad-level too in the reps I got to watch. Jack's tape shows him constantly in the backfield and that was no different at the UND Flagship Camp as the momentum that Jack plays with was certainly a fun watch in Grand Forks. I am no expert on Texas HS football like our Prep Redzone Texas scouts are, but this young man certainly should have more FCS offers in my eyes.</p>

<p>It has been a minute since I watched Rylan in a live setting, but coming back from injury, I love where this kid was at in Grand Forks as he preps for his senior season. I certainly had felt that Rylan has taken it up a notch as far as how much strength he has within his hands, as during Indy and 1v1s, he was able to rip off some solid reps from what my eyes saw at the UND Flagship Camp. I felt too that since the last live-eval I got from Rylan that he certainly has developed too his pad-level with those clutching hands. I also paid close attention to his footwork, in which I was impressed with the developed balance he showed off with his lower body as well. It was not yesterday when I watch Rylan last, but I felt he has gained some length and grown with his attention to detail with his striking base since my last live-evaluation. With some great senior tape, I am sure upcoming out of Canton, Rylan would be a great get for those NSIC schools this fall awaiting a senior evaluation as I feel Rylan is going surprised some folks this coming fall. </p>

<p>Jacob is a 2025 OL prospect at the UND Flagship Camp, that certainly intrigued me with all the upside he has to develop over the coming years at the next level. He showed off some good reps during Indy drills, as I could feel the development rising while watching his reps. I have gotten the chance to watch Jacob on tape before, and he showed off a solid punch rep after rep there, but the upside as I mentioned is there for the taking in pass-pro as he still has some raw traits to grow. At 6'5 282 pounds, there is no doubt in my mind that more NSIC will inquire in the coming months for Jacob, as he has one NSIC offer at the moment but excellent upside to grow in a more pass heavy offense.</p>

<p>Braxton is a 2026 OL name that we have called out a ton this summer, and based on my conversations from college coaches at the UND Flagship Camp, I felt based on what we all saw out of Braxton, it was only necessary that he got another live-eval in Grand Forks that was well worth the watch. Even though I just watched him at NDSU a month earlier, I could tell that Braxton eats up every ounce of detail he could get from the college coaches to improve his next-level stock that is certainly there. Where Braxton shined at UND was with his technique as I saw it from Indy drills to 1v1s that Braxton showed off improved pad-level and I even saw something new from watching his angle blocks as Braxton has constantly shown as one that picks up new skillsets quick with his improvision of growing his game. I'll continue to go to bat for this young man as one that has a Division I ceiling and has the excellent character to go along with it.</p>

<p>Another prospect that from my last live-eval has grown out his skillsets is yet another mauler this time in the defensive trenches for the Central Cass Squirrels in [player_tooltip player_id='675358' first='Evan' last='Wiersma'] in the 2026 class. Evan has gotten much swifter with his first step and watching his pro agility numbers in testing, that validates what I saw later in Grand Forks in 1v1s and Indy. He has also gotten more fluidity in his lower body since his last live-eval which from what I saw at UND, gained him more persistent momentum into his reps and that fluidity also shows with the power Evan has with his hands. I love the fit for Evan at the next-level at defensive tackle the more I get the chance to watch this young man.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tyler was a 2025 offensive linemen out of Iowa that 100% rose his Division I stock at the UND Flagship Camp, as he has picked up now two offers at the Division I level since camp ended. Besides the long 6'7 290 pound frame, there certainly were some skilsets that Tyler showed off that were all over my notebook in Grand Forks. Anytime a college coach calls out a young man at a college camp looking for more reps, that is usually a great sign as Tyler's length was drive blocking defensive linemen into the next county in the reps I watched and you could tell that the UND coaching staff loves the upside they saw out of this young man. I felt Tyler was also great with his pad-level at the UND Flagship Camp as he constantly pinpointed his hands with a strong base for leverage. He also appeared quicker with his feet than the testing numbers might show you, as I felt watching back his tape shows you the quick game speed this young man constantly plays with rep after rep. I think the Fighting Hawks certainly uncovered a small town sleeper out of Iowa in my eyes.</p>

<p>Xander was a 2025 DL/OL that I caught later in the first session at the UND Flagship Camp, but I am glad I caught his reps when I did as he showed off some development from my last live-eval. What popped out for me during Indy drills was how balanced Xander was with his footwork during the cone drill as he showed off some tight angles right where you want to be with his change of direction. I believe watching Xander in the defensive trenches, painted a sound picture of the position flexibility this young man has at the next-level as I certainly like the ceiling he showed defensive even with mostly offensive line tape. Xander was another prospect that flashed in Grand Forks with his outstanding character as I think this young man is certainly more under the radar than he should be and would be a good fit amongst the Dakotas schools in the NSIC.</p>

<p>The first Wisconsin prospect logged into my Part III notebook is Burlington 2025 defensive linemen Quinn Solofra who had a sound showing at the UND Flagship Camp. Quinn showed off from what I saw fiery hips coming out of his first step which quickly caught my attention. Not only did he show off those hips, but from the duration of the reps I watched out of Quinn he was always quite balanced with his footwork across the board and is a prospect that I wish I had gotten my eyes on him more throughout camp in Grand Forks. I certainly felt that Quinn has solid position flexibility at the next-level and already has a couple offers this summer and surely more are probably coming his way.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I called it out on Twitter less than a week back, that Antayos was certainly the best 2028 prospect overall I saw on my camp tour this summer as we had a front row seat in 1v1s to watch what this young man has to offer. They don't make too many incoming freshmen that have a defensive line build like Antayos showed off in Grand Forks but that wasn't all we saw from him in reps. Antayos showed off excellent hands for his age and as I put it in my notebook, I felt he had "animal like" instincts while watching them work. Antayos had an excellent understanding pre-snap of what the offense was showing and used it to his full advantage as he won not just a TON of reps at UND, he won every rep. Our Prep Redzone NEXT scouts always talk about the early offers that get thrown out and I would be remissed if I didn't say that a Division I school should throw one out ot Antayos as those that know me, know that I hardly ever say that about a prospect at his age, but man I cannot wait to watch this kid blossom further in the coming years up in Winnipeg.</p>

<p>Every camp I have watched Ty at this summer (which is a bunch) I have seen him gain a higher football IQ in the offensive trenches. I felt he is coming into his own as far as gauging a more physical punch and has developed from summer start to end with his technique he shows off.</p>

<p>Colton is certainly one I wish I had gotten more looks at during the UND Flagship Camp, as I loved watching his full-go speed off the snap and he seemed to always during 1v1s finish with the same sudden speed he started with coming off the edge. The tape shows off a defensive end with long strides and solid change of direction and once he gets into the backfield, you better watch out as this kid finishes his physicality like a bat out of you know what. A 2026 to know out of Saskatchewan.</p>
