North Dakota 2026 Rankings: Stockrisers, Part I

NORTH DAKOTA-- We take our first quick glimpse of our Part I 2026 stockrisers from the launch of yesterday's <a href="https://prepredzone.com/dakotas/rankings/north-dakota-rankings/2026-rankings/">North Dakota 2026 Rankings</a> that we posted. Here are the first five stockrisers that I thought certainly moved the needle and I like as continious stockrisers throughout their recruiting trail. Want to read more?

His athleticism is off the charts for 6'3 240 pounds, as I haven't seen a safety take the ball out of the air with one hand so effortless, much less a prospect with his measurables. Moving to the offensive line, Larry shows off his strength, balanced hands, and well-versed angle blocking accelerating the run game on the bulk of the reps I watched. No matter where you line him up, Larry looks like a man amongst boys, as I haven't found a skillset yet that has not intrigued me as this young man is so balanced on both sides of the ball. <a href="https://x.com/larry_umber56">Twitter</a>     Another 2026 athlete in North Dakota that I felt might be my favorite future stockriser from this group is Fargo South's [player_tooltip player_id='1226689' first='Henry' last='Agray']. The 6'0 190 pounder has a very twitchy first step when attacking the backfield and is foolishly left unblocked. He certainly has the motor to get sideline to sideline as it's commonly seen throughout his first three weeks of tape. Henry shows off as a free safety at the next level as even with all the wirey speed he has defensively, he still plays with great balance. He is one I can quickly see could shoot up our 2026 rankings. <a href="https://x.com/HenryAgray37223">Twitter</a>     Our new QB1 in the North Dakota 2026 class is South Border quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1226857' first='Berkley' last='Frantz'], who also might be the best touch thrower I have seen thus far within this class. You can tell very quickly how well in touch his football IQ looks to be as a quarterback that can throw persistently on all three levels of the field and certainly has great chemistry with his receiving core on their routes. The sound precision that Berkley shows off shows off chunk play after chunk play on tape and has good measurables already for the next-level at the quarterback position. Another prospect that I can see growth upcoming with his overall ranking as he shows off more junior tape. <a href="https://x.com/BerserkBex">Twitter</a>     Our tight end classes are usually small in North Dakota, but the one that emerged as our TE1 is Bismarck Century's [player_tooltip player_id='1226697' first='Joey' last='Kraljic']. The 6'3 230 pound has grown and filled out his frame nicely from 2023 to 2024 and is one that is a great blocking tight end from the tape I have watched. He shows off as a solid angle blocker opening up good sized holes for the Patriots offense and as a pass catcher, doesn't need a whole lot of space to make a catch and use his hands. I believe his hands are even better than his tape gives him credit for but his balanced blocking ability was a key point in why I named him North Dakota's best tight end in the 2026 class. <a href="https://x.com/JoeyKraljic">Twitter</a>     Treyton is a 2026 linebacker out of Mandan that plays with a motor that seems to never left off the gas pedal, as he also is sudden with his change of direction. The 5'11 185 pounder, sheds off blocks like he is much bigger than his measurables will show you and I am kicking myself while writing his first eval wishing I had him higher, but that will certainly change in the near future as the tape was limited, but the grade on that smaller sample size works in Treyton's favor for next time. I love how fast Treyton moves laterally to the other side of the inside box to make a tackle as that also helps his case as to why I had him as a stockriser in this class.
