Unfortunately, His elusiveness out of the pocket has to be the best amongst quarterbacks in the Dakota sin this 2027 class and it's absurd to see how durable Brody is too when getting contact on the run. His progressions show off plenty of balance and the poise this sophomore has is just awesome to watch on tape as he doesn't show one ounce of rattle whether he takes off and runs or throws from the pocket. He has also completed over 80% of his passes thus far, which is beating out a lot of juniors and seniors that have varsity experience under their belt. The top 10 overall prospect in South Dakota is certainly due as a well-earned stock rise at the end of the season. <a href="https://x.com/Brody4Schafer">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["399787"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1e5670233c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When you break a school record during your midseason tapes, chances are you are off to a great start to your season which is certainly the case with Mitchell 2025 running back [player_tooltip player_id='399787' first='Parker' last='Denne']. Man, has the change of direction shown out in the return game for Parker as this young man looked extremely agile in his tape against Watertown which is a new look for me seeing Parker become an asset more in the return game which I love to see the versatility growing. The sudden burst he has once he reached the second level is a force you might not catch with he is in the open field as I have seen significant growth for Parker too as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. There is no doubt that this young man's midseason tape shouldn't get him his first offer here soon. <a href="https://x.com/parkerdenne21">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1475967,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tate Connell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sioux Falls Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1e567023e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tate is a new prospect to my 2026 radar as a safety that the early tape shows you what a game-changer he is with his positioning as he constantly is in perfect placement to make a play to stop a reception or to erupt with his physicality. He also flies to the ball like a heat-seeking missile and even there,. the position angle he streaks the ball carrier are nearly spot on the reps I watched on tape. The 5'10 junior is yet another next-level prospect in my eyes coming from 11A's #1 team, Sioux Falls Christian as the Chargers are loaded with 2026 talent. <a href="https://x.com/TateConnell1">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>NORTH DAKOTA:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Oliver Wirth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"215","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Devils Lake","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1d76d9062d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a 2025 wide receiver we missed the early boat on coming out of North Dakota, as you will want to meet Oliver Wirth of Devils Lake. The 6'5 215 pounder has a eye-catching release point when he take off with the football. He shows not only shows off great burst and change of direction, but he sees the field well with his vision and plays on tape with a constant full head of steam with the ball in his hands. Oliver also has great durability to get thru first contact as at times this season it takes an army to drag him down which is why I see a great fit as a WR/TE hybrid at the next level to give him position flexibility for his speed, YAC, and change of direction. Still waiting on his first offer but had interest around the NSIC. <a href="https://x.com/OliverWirth13">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["533105"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f1d76d906a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty is off to a stellar start for the West Fargo Horace Hawks as a running back that certainly caught our attention week after week these first four weeks. He is averaging 144 yards per game and also two touchdowns per game as the tape speaks to how elusive Ty is especially with his first cut as it sets his tone to get downfield in my eyes. Ty has also impressed me with how small he can be in tight windows and still create plenty of yards after contact with his sound vision he has at his disposal. He certainly is a 2026 running back I will be continuing to track and one that I like the odds as a stock-riser in the 2026 ND rankings. <a href="https://x.com/ty_geray">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
