The County List: Top Prospects from McKenzie County

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Wyatt Boekelman, QB, Watford City 2026</strong><a href="https://x.com/WBoekelman94932"> Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wyatt is a 6'0 145 pound quarterback out of Watford City that from his first look, shows off promising throw angles that succeed thru small passing windows. He shows off a consistent quick release on his intermediate routes that identifies windows well in zone coverage. His long wingspan allows him with those arm angles to cast a wider range of motion to find those wide receivers around the edges of the field. One to track out of Watford City that has a well-versed ceiling yet to see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>William Langford, DB, Watford City 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/LangfordWill15">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the more intriguing prospects for the Watford City Wolves appears to be 2026 safety William Langford. At 6'3 160 pounds, William has great length and developing footwork with his backpedal, and of course carries the range you want at the safety position. He appears to be a safety that knows how to get to the right spot and the right time as that shows pretty consistent on tape in pass coverage. He shows off the balance too in stopping the run, as a prospect that is light on the tape but the ahtleticism shows off with his pursuit angles attacking the ball. One that I feel with more tape into his senior season, could make a leap on college coaches radars even further.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Traycen Boss, WR, Watford City 2026</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although the tape on Traycen is light and raw, there surely is upside and skillsets that this young man possesses that leaves an impact on the Wolves. The 6'1 155 pound wide receiver, shows off a sound release off the top of his route and shows off a base as a run-blocker that shows off how efficent he could be with more tape even further off the ball. Needs more tape to gauge more eyes on his game, but the upside is promising for Traycen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407888' first='Konnor' last='Winter'], DB, Watford City 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Konnor is one that has caught my attention before in one of our scouting reports, as a two-way athlete from Watford City that might be one of the more intriguing Wolves in the 2026 class. Konnor shows off a cornerback that will crawl to the ball carrier if he has to as it didn't take long to see the work ethic this kid puts on on tape. He shows off promising ball-tracking angles in pass coverage despite not getting many balls his way however is very efficent assisting the slot route. Always is the first nose to the on almost every rep I have watched on tape as one that I surely think woud benefit at camps this summer with more pass coverage reps to grow his instincts, ball-tracking, and 1v1 reps at college camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1591120' first='Jacob' last='Novak'], QB, Alexander 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/Jacobnov5">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1648337,"width":"286px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/Jacob-Novak-crop-339x223-1743363727.jpg?w=338" alt="" class="wp-image-1648337" style="width:286px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best quarterbacks McKenzie County has to offer in my eyes, is 5'11 190 pounder [player_tooltip player_id='1591120' first='Jacob' last='Novak'] out of Alexander. He shows off fluid movement quickly getting out ot the pocket and the vision and angles that Jacob logs on his runs shows that he can seperation quickly. He is one that is quck to identify receives with his release and shows off the precision throwing ability with his touch throws to get them ahead on their route. I felt Jacob is more mechanically sound that he might get credit for as growing his arm strength seems like an upside that he could use to develop. I usually don't rattle off what teams offense young men might gel with at the next-level, but man I think this kid would gel well with the Beavers in Minot based on their scheme.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
