<p class="text-gray-700">-Rated as a top tier tight end in the 2026 class and should rise to the TE2 spot by next update.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Boosts some of the most physical hands at the tight end position in his class in the Dakotas.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Colby looks like a man amongst boys when he's in the open field and surprisingly only has a couple D2 offers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Certainly could be the small town steal in this 2026 SD class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">-Orginally rated as a quarterback, Brenner has thrived with use of his football IQ as one of the best available athletes in this 2026 SD class out of Tea Area.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-The best fit positionally for the next-level sparks at linebacker, as Brenner sparks with good range and balance as an outside linebacker. Tight end is another position that has some translation.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-The 6'3 now 225 pounder shows off as a downhill people-mover as a blocking fullback that is still waiting for his first offer and offers a plethora of position flexibility.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">-In our last 2026 rankings update, Kolte was one of our top rising prospects overall in the South Dakota class out of West Central.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-He shows off great hands early on tape in high-traffic areas and has a sound vertical for his verified 6'4 225 pound frame.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Kolte has gotten more fluid in his senior season as a route runner. In my eyes that speed processes more like a XL wide receiver than a tight end which has impressed college coaches. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-He is rated as a D2 grade in our eyes, and has started to see those offers come in late in the NSIC.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">-An under recruited 2026 defensive back surely in this SD class is Sioux Falls Christian's [player_tooltip player_id='1568245' first='Tate' last='Connell'], who by the first look of his midseason tape has a high football IQ that doesn't take long to see.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-One of the best defensive backs against the deep ball in my eyes the state has to offer as Tate is always instinctive when the ball is nearby with his ball-tracking ability. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-A weapon on all three-level of the field that holds three NAIA offers at the moment.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-In our eyes, Tate should get more attention in the NSIC in the coming but could surely be a steal in the Frontier or GPAC.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">-BIG time stockriser in his senior season as Gabriel should be in our D2-tier by our end of the season 2026 update.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Nasty hands that fire out quickly at the point of attack and can gather great balance into the second level. Does both on a constant basis.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Love his multi-engaging ability, as you can tell he's a offensive linemen that operates with a blue-collar motor that has great pad-level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>-Just ONE D2 offer thus far. Surely could be a senior steal!</p>
