South Dakota 11AA Preseason All-State Team: Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the rest of the Dakotas starting their season this week, we put the pedal on the floor to dish out our South Dakota 11AA Preseason All-State Team, starting with the offensive side of the ball. We nearly logged 50 athletes just on offense, wihile the defensive team that will be posted later tonight will add in total between the two teams about 75 athletes that are the cream of the crop in 11AA. <strong>The most impressive area of our 11AA team?</strong> They always say good offenses "start upfront" and that is the case in 11AA, as there were 15 offensive linemen across South Dakota on our 11AA Preseason All-State Team. We tell you how we put our teams together, our vote for Preseason OPOTY, and our vote for Preseason Hog Molly of the Year, and of course our 11AA Preseason All-State Team that covers the entire offensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"20px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:20px"><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 athlete listed will have had to have a <strong>light/moderate amount of tape</strong> from the 2024 season, camp tape that we could find on Hudl or social media <strong>or </strong>been referred by a high school coach in our network. 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. Last but not least, our rankings are not factored in these teams, as we are in the middle of updating every single class in South Dakota as we speak so plenty is going to change here soon. By the numbers, <strong>46 athletes  </strong>from across South Dakota 11AA football are listed in our Offensive 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. <strong>Another area that I wanted to hit on</strong>, because the Dakotas are so dominant on athletes playing on both sides of the ball, there might be some athletes that are listed on our SD 11AA All-State Team higher that are listed higher on offense vs. defense or vice versa. Their might be prospects we miss because they focus on their defensive tape vs. their offensive tape or vice versa too. 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>11AA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px">[player_tooltip player_id='1027999' first='Cooper' last='Terwilliger'], Pierre T.F.
