Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase: Top Offensive Linemen

ABERDEEN-- We saved the best for last in Aberdeen, as we move into the Hog Mollies that caught all the attention of our notebook last Sunday in Aberdeen. This list has every high school class list from 2025s to 2028s as the 2025 in the group, is one that college coaches looking for high upside in the trenches need to get after quickly. As for the rest of the groups, we saw some outstanding offensive line play last Sunday at the Aberdeen Dome and I believe just about EVERY offensive line prospect on this list has a sound shot of playing college ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='1544429' first='Mason' last='Bickel'], OL, Timber Lake 2028 <a href="https://x.com/BickelMason54">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1992-rotated-crop-481x316-1734392768.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581978" style="width:315px;height:auto" /></figure>   I said it after our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen, that Mason was one of my favorite 2028 prospects in attendance and the amount of notes in my notebook on this young man tell you why. Mason popped out to me as an offensive line prospect that showed off a sound athletic base from the reps I watched despite being one of the youngest offensive linemen in the group, Mason had some better technique in my eyes than some upperclassmen. Where I thought he rose the most was watching his balanced pad-level in the reps I watched, as you could tell rep after rep he increased his growth with his leverage. A 2028 prospect that also stood out with excellent character for his age, as one of the best in his class during our showcase. Bright future upcoming for Mason in my eyes to grow a ton in the next several years.   [player_tooltip player_id='1319732' first='Skyler' last='Bryant'], OL, Spearfish 2027 <a href="https://x.com/Skyler_bryant77">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1972-rotated-crop-481x316-1734392689.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581976" style="width:347px;height:auto" /></figure>   Getting to watch Skyler a few times in the early reps and into Indy drills, all in all I was impressed with the balanced footwork I saw from him in the bulk of the reps I checked out at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen. The 6'1 235 pounder also showed off his upside with his football IQ as Skyler was a offensive linemen I thought the pad-level grew quickly during from the first rep I watched in Aberdeen to his last I watched, which showed me that this young man can pick up new information to grow his skillsets quickly. You could say the same with his leverage, as I again was impressed with the balance of Skyler's footwork grazing into the second level on one particular rep I got to watch. One of two Spearfish Spartans offensive linemen that cracked our OL standout list also. Skyler is another underclassmen that I'll be intrigued to see how that upside transitions into his junior season on tape.   [player_tooltip player_id='1314674' first='Casey' last='Brown'], OL, Devils Lake 2027   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1930-rotated-crop-481x316-1734392451.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581972" style="width:328px;height:auto" /></figure>   Casey was a new name offensive linemen to my Dakotas radar, and one that as just a sophomore I surely like the upside he could continue to grow over the coming years based on what I saw in Aberdeen. The 6'3 265 pounder from Devils Lake, showed off more impressive footwork than I was expected and I still surely see even more upside he can do to improve. You could tell from the light reps I got to watch from Casey that the athleticism in there with his base and I also was impressed with his leverage in the reps I got as an offensive linemen that had a point of emphasis on driving leverage, which with his over 6'6 wingspan you could certainly see the growth he can make over the coming years with that length at the point of attack.   [player_tooltip player_id='1293155' first='Ashten' last='Dorhout'], OL, Madison 2027 <a href="https://x.com/Ashten_09">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_2037-rotated-crop-481x316-1734392253.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581967" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure>   Ashten was one very few offensive linemen that not only flashed the sound next-level frame but it also showed in his testing numbers especially the L-Drill, as he tested amongst the test from my SES (size, speed, explosion) rating. The 6' 2 255 pounder from Madison, showed off some nasty physicality with the punches he landed and those also showed off great pad-level from my eyes in those reps. I also felt the balance with his footwork was in the top-tier of the offensive linemen we had in attendance at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen as I wish I would caught more reps of this kid. Ashten surely looks like the next hog molly up for the Madison Bulldogs to have a good shot to play on Saturdays.   [player_tooltip player_id='1292610' first='Peyton' last='Seil'], OL, Bismarck Century 2027 <a href="https://x.com/PeytonSeil">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1874-rotated-crop-481x316-1734391854.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581962" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure>   Peyton showed us why we have him graded so highly as one of the best 2027 offensive linemen in North Dakota, and I felt he lived up to that hype in Aberdeen based on the reps I watched, and the conversations with the college coaches I had at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. I was impressed with the quick speed that Peyton showed off with his punching ability at the point of attack as he never wasted time on any rep I watched using that leverage and physicality he has with his strength and frame. He also was one of the best offensive linemen in attendance at utilizing his skilled angle blocking as even as a non-padded showcase, you could tell that Peyton wanted to finish to the whistle of the coaches in attendance on every rep including the ones that I watched. He surely showed why he is a high scholarship level OL prospect as one of the next ones up on that Bismarck Century Patriots offensive line.   [player_tooltip player_id='1575886' first='Callister' last='Wiese'], OL, Brandon Valley 2026 <a href="https://x.com/wiesecal16">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1932-1-rotated-crop-481x316-1734391720.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581959" style="width:323px;height:auto" /></figure>   Callister is one that impressed me with his first step in the reps I got to watch in Aberdeen, as there was a high level of balance in his footwork coming from the 6'0 260 pounder from Brandon Valley. I believe that "balance" word applies to even more of the skillsets I watched from Callister in the reps I watched as this kid was in the top-tier in my eyes from the reps we watched when it came down to his pad-level. He surely looks like a great fit at guard at the next-level, as there is plenty of fluidity in his steps when you get a look at his tape as a pull blocker and is one that seems have a well-versed football IQ especially when he gets out of the inside box. He and [player_tooltip player_id='551462' first='Bryce' last='Bangasser'] are two offensive linemen for the Lynx that we have had at our Dakotas showcases, that I feel surely seems like a fit for Saturdays.   [player_tooltip player_id='1293174' first='Rush' last='Turner'], OL, Rapid City St. Thomas More 2027 <a href="https://x.com/RushTurner71">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1996-rotated-crop-481x316-1734391636.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581957" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure>   Rush was one of the most imposing offensive linemen we got from the eye-test amongst the group measuring in as a legit 6'5 255 pounds. Rush showed off from the reps I watched, an offensive linemen that without a doubt has the physicality to drive into the second level constantly and growing his foot speed into the point of attack with that surely showed off the upside for this 2026 prospect from Rapid City. He also impressed me by showing off not just the great strength, but was one that I thought got more fluid with his pad-level from the rep after rep I watched. Rush surely is a 2026 OL prospect that you can impact will rise up our rankings by the update we put out in the coming weeks as another team of two offensive linemen from Rapid City St. Thomas More that flashed at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase.   [player_tooltip player_id='1242005' first='Kaden' last='Heupel'], OL, Bismarck 2026 <a href="https://x.com/KKHeupel66">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1924-rotated-crop-481x316-1734391352.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581955" style="width:331px;height:auto" /></figure>   The 6'0 290 pound from Bismarck High I thought put together one of the best outings from my SES rating (size, speed, explosion) at our Showcase in Aberdeen on multiple levels of testing that was done. With his steps I watched in Indy drills, Kaden showed off great fluidity off the snap as I could tell was one that could persistently get pressing leverage downhill. Kaden to me also showed off the versatile football IQ that plays with a chip on his shoulder as a run-blocker with a high grade of work ethic which you could see when I watched his hand placement that showed off that mobility also when you flip on his tape. Kaden surely looks like another 2026 from the Bismarck area that will have a great shot to play at the next-level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1397784' first='Pierson' last='Morganfield'], OL, Rapid City St. Thomas More 2026 <a href="https://x.com/piersonpancakes">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1998-rotated-crop-481x316-1734391282.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581953" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure>   Pierson is another Rapid City St. Thomas More Cavalier offensive linemen that put together a solid day at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen. He impressed me with the reps I watched with his drive blocking in which he possessed great control of his defender. He also came away impressed with his run-blocking reps I got to watch as he showed off some great pad-level from the reps I watched and brought a faster foot speed in the trenches than I was expecting to see from 6'3 250 pounder, but it makes sense with his Lacrosse background he brings. Pierson also brought the quick hand speed at the point of attack, as one of two Cavaliers that impressed me with their good technique they showed in the trenches. Pierson is another one that I surely like playing on Saturdays as one that also has sound upside to grow in the coming years.   [player_tooltip player_id='1556632' first='Colt' last='Kopren'], OL, Harding County-Bison 2025 <a href="https://x.com/KoprenColt">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_2007-rotated-crop-481x316-1734390853.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581948" style="width:340px;height:auto" /></figure>   Colt showed off one of the faster hand-fires off the snap that I watched last Sunday in Aberdeen. What else intrigued me about Colt was how much length he had in his wingspan when I got the numbers, as he was just over 6'7 on the wingspan and came in taller than expected too. He showed off good pad-level going up against some bigger competiton and showed off how crucial that length is to use at his disposal. He is a 2025 prospect that is stocked with upside in my eyes as I think his best football years are upcoming at the next-level. I also feel after watching his tape, he could surely have position flexibility as an EDGE rusher playing on Saturdays and there is plenty of frame that in the right system he could develop and use those long arms especially in pass-rush situations. He certianly is worth a look for those building out their 2025 classes still, as his measurables really impressed me in Aberdeen for what is to come.   [player_tooltip player_id='929801' first='Asher' last='Peil'], OL, Spearfish 2026 <a href="https://x.com/AsherPeil78">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_1974-rotated-crop-481x316-1734390916.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581950" style="width:325px;height:auto" /></figure>   I have gotten to watch Asher a ton over the last year or so at prospect camps, but man, he was playing on another level on Sunday and that was agreed by the college coaches in attendance too. Asher I felt showed off bricks for hands at the point of attack on every single rep I watched as his drive blocking and physicality of his punch have surely improved since I watched him last summer at camps and I felt it was even a better match to his tape. Asher was one of the top offensive linemen when it came to his pad-level too as the balanced control his hands showed off were lethal at getting to the second level, and it didn't matter the size of his opposition either. He also established from what I saw more fire with his footwork off the snap and with his growing hand speed and foot speed, I don't recall watching him lose any reps at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Aberdeen. A young man that also has great character and I have always been able to gauge has a great love for the game and a huge football IQ. You would be foolish in my eyes to not go outside the measurables threshold for this young man.   [player_tooltip player_id='1319850' first='Seth' last='Irey'], OL, Ellendale-Edgeley-Kulm 2027 <a href="https://x.com/irey5799">Twitter</a>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/12/IMG_2181-rotated-crop-481x316-1734390554.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1581946" style="width:322px;height:auto" /></figure>   The EEK Jaguars are no strangers to having MVPs at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcases, as Air Force commit Joseph Kramlich won them back to back last year and they added another one to the mix last Sunday in 2027 offensive linemen [player_tooltip player_id='1319850' first='Seth' last='Irey']. The reps I caught out of Seth yesterday showed off tons of parity rep after rep, as his great footwork with excellent balance to it, was the first skillset that caught my eye. He also showed off excellent pad-level and I was intrigued by how athletic bend for his size and the consistency he had with the low-pad-level to drive constant leverage in the reps I watched last Sunday. He also showed off as a persistent finisher at the point of attack as even though the 6'0 240 pounder wasn't the biggest offensive linemen we had in Aberdeen, you could sure gauge the overall balance and football IQ that Seth plays with is growing quickly after the season. A 2027 prospect that I am kicking myself I didn't have on my 2027 rankings but surely has been added as of now for the next update in a couple weeks.

ABERDEEN-- We saved the best for last in Aberdeen, as we move into the Hog Mollies that caught all the attention of our notebook last Sunday in Aberdeen. This list has every high school class list from 2025s to 2028s as the 2025 in the group, is one that college coaches looking for high upside in the trenches need to get after quickly.
