Final 2026 North Dakota Rankings Preview

We have come to the end for our last ever 2026 rankings in North Dakota. We finished with 250 ranked prospects and another nearly 50 prospects on our watchlist which as most of you know, is the biggest list of prospects that anyone has nationwide as nobody focuses or spends more time getting exposure to Dakotas prospects more than Prep Redzone Dakotas. We tell you about our new top five with all the changes, who were rapid stockrisers, 26' prospects that are under the radar and uncommitted, and more.   Our New Top 5   Plenty of chnages emerged in our top five stacked with Missouri Valley commits from top to bottom in the Peace Garden State.   #5 [player_tooltip player_id='1455273' first='Marial' last='Deng'], WR, Four Winds-Minnewaukan   -North Dakota commit   #4 [player_tooltip player_id='1113072' first='Cash' last='Danner'], TE, Thompson   -NDSU commit   #3 Kye Schichting, WR/ATH, West Fargo Sheyenne   -NDSU commit   #2 [player_tooltip player_id='1407882' first='Trey' last='McPartland'], OL, Valley City   -NDSU Commit   #1 [player_tooltip player_id='1112591' first='Aiden' last='Wunderlich'], OL, Central Cass   -North Dakota commit   Who Moved Up A Ton?   [player_tooltip player_id='929962' first='Matthew' last='Dosch'], ATH, Grand Forks Red River 2026   -The Jamestown commit haad a great summer camp season in which he dominated at at least two camps I was in attendance at. He ends up at Jamestown with his dad and Jamestown Assistant Head Coach Tom Dosch.   [player_tooltip player_id='674792' first='Kolten' last='Tesch'], ATH, Fargo Davies   -The MaxPreps Player of the Year in North Dakota, is one of the only uncommitted one that was a BIG riser from last update. Kolten put up monsters numbers as a running back and myself and other PRZ scouts loved his play at DB at the North Dakota Flagship Camp this summer. Offers from Wisconsin-Whitewater, Minot State, and Wisconsin-River Falls so far surprisely   [player_tooltip player_id='1422599' first='Matt' last='Bryant'], OL Velva-Drake-Anamoose-Garrison   -Matt was another one that boomed up my board from his camp eval this summer at a bunch of camps and that upwards trended continued into the season. Now a Jamestown Jimmies commit as I feel this is a local steal for Jamestown.   Eljah Thompson, LB, Grand Forks Central   -One of the best linebackers I saw at the Valley City State camp this summer was [player_tooltip player_id='1226691' first='Elijah' last='Thompson'], who jumped up a ton to me in the live eval. He ends up as a MSU-Moorhead commit as one of the biggest linebackers that jumped way up our rankings   [player_tooltip player_id='1590549' first='Kaisen' last='Nordick'], LB, West Fargo Hoarce   -A multi time Big Dogs of the Week nominee throughout his senior [player_tooltip player_id='1590549' first='Kaisen' last='Nordick'] fronm West Fargo Horace. His intial ranking I will admit was a human error, but he jumped up around 100 spots and is another linebacker commit at MSU-Moorhead.   Still on the Board, Needs More Attention   The Early Signing Day might have passed, but schools have until February 4th for the last National Signing Day for the 2026 class. Here are some names that I would one surely be targeting if I am still trying to round out my 2026 class of with 10 North Dakota athletes that are under the radar.
