ND's Top 230 Rankings (2025) 60-54

NORTH DAKOTA-- We continue with our 2025 rankings content in North Dakota by breaking down the prospects that were in the 60-54 range in our overall 2025 rankings.   #60: [player_tooltip player_id='720541' first='Matthew' last='Hoppe'], RB, Northern Cass   One of the more elusive first-level running backs still available in the 2025 class, Matthew had a big year for the Jaguars and checks in #60 overall. The 2nd-Team All Stater in 11A showed off great contact balance with his durability and is a prospect that somehow doesn't have his first offer yet but if I was an NAIA school still recruiting in North Dakota.   #59: [player_tooltip player_id='1381944' first='Lucas' last='Grove'], DL, West Fargo   Lucas is another uncommitted 2025 that intrigues me on tape, but hasn't gotten the attention yet to play at the next-level as he checks in at #59 overall in our 2025 rankings which grades out as a D2-NAIA fit. Lucas has some of the best short-field vision on the first level amongst defensive linemen that are left in this 2025 class and has the built in frame that you want as a nose tackle at 6'3 275 pounds. His physicality at the point of attack is also super consistent on tape as one that I am surprised is still available.   #58: [player_tooltip player_id='1556595' first='George' last='Bradley'], DL, Standing Rock   The Minot State commit is another that has risen his stock up our 2025 board over the last handful of months. If you blink during George's tape you might miss how fast this young man once he enters the tackle box as his quick release off the snap constantly gets into the backfield. I also love this young man's highly active hands on both sides of the trenches as he has a relentless motor and sound hand placements with getting off on his sheds. The Beavers defensive line room find themselves a steal in this 6'1 250 pounder from Standing Rock.   #57: [player_tooltip player_id='506330' first='Teagan' last='Coonrod'], ATH, Minot Bishop Ryan   Another uncommitted 2025 athlete is [player_tooltip player_id='506330' first='Teagan' last='Coonrod'] of Minot Bishop Ryan, checking in at #57 overall. Teegan has been a consistent top performer at multiple Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcases and in my eyes could pay some dividends to a college program with his great position flexibility. Teagan is one that intrigues me with his athletic movement at linebacker as I have gauged over the years how intrigued I am with his football IQ. Teagan also shows off some balanced reps on tape as a long snapper as I saw some fluidity and poise from his reps I watched. He certainly is a young man that plays with a faster game speed speed that his testing numbers might show you.   #56: [player_tooltip player_id='802402' first='Malachi' last='Werrenmeyer'], ATH, Fargo Davies   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/09/malachi_816bcf-crop-1536x1009-1735841616.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1592868" style="width:315px;height:auto" /></figure>   It was clear during the 11AAA state championship game I watched in Fargo this winter, that Malachi is the pulse of the Eagles which I saw from both sides of the ball. You could grasp the football IQ and team charisma that Malachi had with his teammates, but also showed off a durability skillset that unlocked with the carries he got against West Fargo Sheyenne as he fought pound for pound for every yard. Defensively the quick instincts that Malachi had in the inside box as a linebacker show off why that is a great position fit for him at the next level, as the 5'11 205 pounder and three sport athlete is still undecided as far as the next level.   #55: [player_tooltip player_id='1113079' first='Jaxin' last='Anderson'], WR, South Prairie   Another Minot State commit this time at wide receiver, is [player_tooltip player_id='1113079' first='Jaxin' last='Anderson'] who rose his stock approximately 25-30 spots with this 2025 rankings update. From our winter showcase last year, I have been intrigued with the growth of Jaxin's agility with his route-running as a 6'4 175 pounder with in my eyes, great upside coming within the coming years with the Beavers.   #54: [player_tooltip player_id='1185194' first='Jensen' last='Schulz'], WR, Mandan   <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure>   We go back to back with wide receivers but this time we take a look at one that is uncommitted in Mandan's [player_tooltip player_id='1185194' first='Jensen' last='Schulz'] as he checks in at #54 overall. His release off his routes especially in motion catches my attention right away as Jensen shows off a sudden accelerator off the snap. Jensen also intrigues me with his transition from catch to the open field as you can quickly gauge the instincts that he has at his disposal. He has picked up a couple of offers from the MIAC and NSIC thus far.
