There are not many 5'11 185 pound running backs in the Dakotas that are to-be freshmen (!) built with Charlie's size. In the early looks at this class, Charlie shows off the fluidity we look for at the running back position as a running back that generates power and suddenness getting out of the inside box. The #5 overall prospect in this SD 2029 class has a chance to be a <strong>potential stockriser </strong>by next update. <a href="https://x.com/chaent10">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1747279"],"_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-689cc1b199f84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Without question, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1747279' first='Noah' last='Sheppard']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/noah-sheppard/"></a> looks to be the alpha in Tea Area's 2029 class across the board on both sides of the ball. For his age, I was really impressed with the eager twitch he has with his first step off the snap as he gets down to the ball carrier with superb presence and vision. In my eyes, Noah grades out in these eyes currently as a EDGE rusher. The 6'0 200 pounder looks has even more powerful strength than what those measurables show off, as I feel when he makes contact you can see the strength at hand easily on tape. Our #1 ranked EDGE in the Dakotas and #4 overall in our South Dakota rankings is another one I am pumped about to watch develop in this 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1275286"],"_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-689cc1b199fd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I made the call last week that Elijah, is my selection for DB1 in the entire Dakotas in this 2029 class. Getting out in front of college coaches gave him a boost in my eyes during camp season especially when you got to watch his live reps. I mentioned that his footwork is above his age and he is constantly right in the grill of the wide receiverrs he went up again with that "in your face" yet plays with the balanced demeanor you want in your secondary. He has elite ball-tracking ability too for his age, as one that I feel might be the toughest one to top in our top five positionally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Elijah1012011">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1740899"],"_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-689cc1b19a022"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We move to the #2 overall spot and to our OL1 in the 2029 class, which is [player_tooltip player_id='1740899' first='Caden' last='Tobias'] our second prospect in our top five out of Sioux Falls Jefferson. You can't miss as an evaluator with his eye-popping 6'5 250 pound size as one that it's clear that he has some strength at his disposal, being a top-tier shotputter in track and field as one of the most sizable targets we have thus far in the 2029 class in the Dakotas. Caden is an offensive linemen that his strength alone generates quick physicality against his competition he goes up against and when you look at this frame, you certainly can see this young man still has plenty of room to fill out his frame in the coming years. I feel he has one of the most sizable upsides in our 2029 SD class as one we will be watching closely for this fall to see how he develops. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Caden8174283751">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1395892"],"_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-689cc1b19a06e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We move to our #1 overall prospect in the South Dakota 2029 class, which is [player_tooltip player_id='1395892' first='Kacyn' last='Larson'] of Sioux Falls Washington. Kacyn is one that I have had on my radar for a couple years now so when it was time to figure out who the top prospect in the class was, it didn't take long to figure out due to him having verified tape. He's the smoothest route-runner in the Dakotas and has learned quickly how to utilize his size on contested catches to win the 1v1 battles with his 6'2 175 pound frame. Even though he's just entering his freshmen season with the Warriors, I loved how dialed-in Kacyn looks on tape with his football IQ as every time I see his hands he just looks instinctively gifted for his age as a pass-catcher and shows it on both sides of the ball too. The presence too that Kacyn plays with is evident on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
