North Dakota 11AAA Preseason Defensive All-State Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we roll closely into the month of August, we start to center our focus into our annual Preseason All-State Teams, which we start today in North Dakota's largest division, 11AAA. We promised within 24 hours we would have our defenisve side of the ball done, and here it is! Every position is included plus like every year, we make our selection for our Preseason Player of the Year and the same goes for the Runner Up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>How We Put This Team Together</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With every Preseason All-State Team we have ever put together at Prep Redzone Dakotas, the evaluation process comes covers several variables. Each prospect listed will have had to have a solid amount of tape from the 2024 season or camp tape that we could find on social media. We also hit the camp trail harder than we have ever done this summer, so those live evals from camp season are also crucial in this evaluation process. <strong>Last but not least, our rankings are not factored in these teams</strong>, as we are in the middle of updating every single class in North Dakota as we speak so plenty is going to change here soon. By the numbers,&nbsp;<strong>30 prospects&nbsp;</strong>from across 11AAA are listed in our All-State Team and as we spent about all of our time today evaluating tape, scanning social media for more clips, and more to generate these teams as accurately as possible. Another area that I wanted to hit on, because North Dakota is so dominant on athletes playing on both sides of the ball, there might be some athletes that are listed on our 11AAA Defensive All-State Team higher than where they were on the Offensive. This shows to us and the college coaches that subscribe to PRZ, that tthat given position might be their better fit at the next-level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Preseason Defensive POTY:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='533097' first='Israel' last='Bauer'], West Fargo Horace</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Preseason Defensive Linemen of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='674709' first='Alex' last='Meece'], Fargo Davies</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Runner Up</strong>: [player_tooltip player_id='1407835' first='Brennen' last='Gable'], West Fargo Sheyenne</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Defensive End</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>1st Team</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407835' first='Brennen' last='Gable'].
