<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1226697' first='Joey' last='Kraljic'], TE, Bismarck Century</strong> <a href="https://x.com/JoeyKraljic">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It starts off at the top in this film room from our TE1 in the North Dakota 2026 class in Bismarck Century's [player_tooltip player_id='1226697' first='Joey' last='Kraljic']. He shows persuasive anglesfrom blocker to pass-catcher showing off in my eyes early, the natural instinct that this young man has to be fluid at both at the next-level as a true tight end at the next-level. The 6'3 230 pounder, has the most poised run-blocking ability in this 2026 class amongst tight ends in the Dakota as one that almost always gets downhill leverage and great control with his hands and foot balance. Joey that surprises me by his lack of attention at the scholarship level at this given moment, but should grow his stock upwards in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674793' first='Braiden' last='Bosch'], TE, Mandan </strong><a href="https://x.com/braiden_bosch"> Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braiden shows off an explosive release for the tight end position at 6'1 210 lb out of the Mandan Braves. Braiden has some of the best hands in high traffic areas in the 2026 class in North Dakota as it has been impressive to see his development with his frame and route-running since we created this 2026 class a couple years ago. Braiden also has strength has a pass-catcher getting throws that are just off-line into his catch radius quickly as it doesn't take long for Braiden to bring those to his chest. Despite missing a portion fo the season to an MCL injury, he could be one that could create a splash in the coming months on his recruiting trail.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='944403' first='Ian' last='Skari'], WR, West Fargo</strong> <a href="https://x.com/ian_skari">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most polished route runners with excellent hands in this 2026 class that still is waiting on his first offer, is [player_tooltip player_id='944403' first='Ian' last='Skari'] out of West Fargo. Ian is one that will let his play do the talking in the live eval vs. what a coach might see with his measurables as he has shown for years he is not just an excellent tester, this young man surely has the ball skills to play at the next-level. One of more crafty route-runners in this 2026 class, Ian gets ample separation due to his change of direction and continuously growing football IQ that seems to get better at every combine or college camp I have attended year after year. If you need a slot receiver that is an outstanding competitor in every rep, Ian will surely be a great fit for your school at the next-level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1194652' first='Jayvon' last='Anderson'], WR, Fargo South </strong><a href="https://x.com/Jayvon_A">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayvon has always been one that I have been impressed with his speed, but over the last junior tape, it's his awareness growing with utilization of that speed that has continued to impress. The route on his tree that impresses me most in the flat route to the outside that he runs super well, as Jayvon shows off the great edge of the field awareness as a route-runner that constantly finishes his route getting over the top of the secondary with his athleticsm to constantly create a deep splash play for the Bruins. I would be cuious to see where his wingspan lies this summer at college camps as he seems to carry a longer catch radius than I had seen from the getco when I first watched his tape over a year ago. Jayvon is certainly another one on this list destined to play on Saturdays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422841' first='Benjamin' last='Dubois'], WR, Turtle Mountain</strong> <a href="https://x.com/duboisbenji7">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Benjamin has some of the most intriguing tape I have seen from a prospect since we launched out of Turtle Mountain. His crafty route running creates sound seperation, and what catches my attention even more is how much room there is for Benjamin to get his yards after the catch. His second rep on tape is a must-watch for college coaches as Benjamin shows off the excellent athleticism he has at his disposal showing off the veritcal, field awareness and hands to bring in an outstanding catch that screams the catch difficulty college coaches want to see on tape. I felt like too over the season on tape, Benjamin showed off more explosiveness off the top of his route which is intrgiuing to see the longer you grind out his tape. Surely a 2026 wide receiver that is super under the radar out of Turtle Mountain that I feel has a great shot to improve college coaches this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
