2025 Preseason All-Upper Midwest Offensive Dream Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A couple of years back, I was interested in seeing how my home state of Minnesota stacked up recruit-wise against some of our geographical neighbors, one thing to lead to another, and before ya know it, <em>PrepRedzone </em>had an Upper Midwest Dream Team on its hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite the recent rash of offers coming to Upper Midwest prospects, we are still in the midst of a dry, footballless offseason, and if you're a recruiting fanatic like, you're just itching for new prep football-related content. Well, we're once again exploring how the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa stack up in 1v1 evaluation settings, and it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that this 2025 Preseason All-Upper Midwest Dream Team is overflowing with P4 and FBS talent from all around the Great States of America's Heartland. Now, it was a bit tricky figuring out just exactly what was the "Upper Midwest" as one could argue Chicago, and thus Illinois, should be included, but I'm confident in our geographic and cultural categorizations and are happy to bring a featured piece that you aren't going to find anywhere else but <em>PrepRedzone</em>. Hundreds of prospects considered, only a few made the cut. Additionally, I'd hold this region's OL and TE position groups up there with anywhere in the country, and if you made the list there, you're a dawg. Don't sleep on the wideouts either. Check out the best of the best QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, FBs, and OL the Great States of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin have to offer. Congratulations to the selections! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><em>Quarterback</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">First Team: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Donald Tabron II</strong> (<em>Cass Tech</em>, MI) 2028.
