South Dakota 9B Preseason All-State Team: Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We roll into the 2025 high school football season with more of our All-State Teams across the Dakotas, this time moving to South Dakota 9B who is one of four divisions in SD that start football in the next day or two. Starting with the offensive side of the ball, here is the breakdown of how we put this team together and the names you need to know in 9B this season!</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 athlete listed will have had to have a <strong>light/moderate amount of tape</strong> from the 2024 season or camp tape that we could find on Hudl or 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. 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,&nbsp;<strong>27 prospects&nbsp;</strong>from across 9B 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 South Dakota is so dominant on athletes playing on both sides of the ball, there might be some athletes that are listed on our 9B 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
