<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We put one last wrap our 2029 rankings content in the Dakotas, ending with our Small Towns that round out our top five. We also included a good chunk more of watch list prospects from Roughrider State that could crack the 2029 North Dakota rankings by next-update.

Riggin recorded the fastest pro agility time in this 2029 RB class and from what I saw from the live eval, the 5'8 160 pounder shows off to be a more efficent pass-catcher for his age and also showed off impressive open field vision for his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1740349"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689fae384cbfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our #1 overall prospect in the 2029 class is [player_tooltip player_id='1740349' first='Ty' last='Barman'] of Ray-Powers Lake and is one that has been on my radar for almost a year now due to the conversations I have had with college coaches as an 8th grader to watch at the time. Ty was another 2029 prospect that I got my live eval at one of NDSU's two-day camps this summer and it was one that well-received by me and the college coaches in attendance that were shocked that Ty is just entering his freshmen year for the Outlaws. He shows off the big catch-radius you look for, great hands and ran the best testing numbers for his size within this 2029 group from North Dakota. The 6'3 185 pounder I have been told and I agree too with the college coaches that have told me this that Ty surely has a Division I ceiling as the highest ranked prospect we have ever had since we launched in 2021 from Ray-Powers Lake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Watch List Names to Know</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Killan Barnes, OL Bismarck St. Mary's Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Younger brother of top-tier 2026 OL [player_tooltip player_id='1161045' first='Roman' last='Barnes']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1745568' first='Talen' last='Bell'], OL, West Fargo Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1740837' first='Asher' last='Fischer'], QB/LB, Grand Forks Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1740827' first='Drew' last='Glasser'], QB, Dickinson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Younger brother of 2026 All-State DB [player_tooltip player_id='1407865' first='Dylan' last='Glasser']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1658462' first='Emmanuel' last='Gruanue'], WR/DB, Fargo South</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
