South Dakota 27' Rankings: Nate's Key Newcomers

I ran thru our most recent 2027 rankings in South Dakota and rewatched plenty of film and came up with who are my key newcomers in this 2027 class. When I say key, I am talking about young men that could be impactful in our 2027 rankings by ones that could move up quickly despite being new to our radar.    Brendan has power out of his stance that is quite hard to miss when you roll the tape from his junior season with the Patriots. What is met with that is well-versed fluidity with his footwork getting to the second level and quick timing getting his hands in solid position from a pad-level perspective. That power also can generate swiftly with his first step step as especially against defensive tackles Brendan can stop them in their tracks with his angle blocking ability. His effectiveness is sound as run-blocker and I like the overall agility he fires out with as a pass blocker. His first offer is coming soon out of this stacked offensive line class in South Dakota in the 2027 class.   <a href="https://x.com/BRWhiting">TWITTER</a>     Cooper is one of the most producitve defensive tackles you will find in this South Dakota 2027 class out of Harrisburg. The 6'1 280 pounder, boosts the balance you want from that DT position with great leverage at the point of attack on his first rep to showing off the agile shedding ability you want to see on the incoming clips which is why he charged up our rankings to inside the top 30. Cooper has effective length as a run-stopper that can cling to outside the A-gap on a persistent basis. I also saw upside on tape with his pad-level growing more consistent the more I was able to watch. He's a little under the radar right now, but I expect that to change by summer.   <a href="https://x.com/CooperHodge2008">TWITTER</a>     Time to meet our RB2 in the 2027 class in South Dakota, as newcomer [player_tooltip player_id='1293075' first='Lincoln' last='Schutt'] of Watertown took over that spot. He's one of the most powerful backs through contact in the the Dakotas and has ideal RB measurables for the next-level already built in. Lincoln also is fluid when he gets to the outside edges as he intrigues me too with how he finishes his runs as Lincoln brings out a blue-collar type running back that is constructive from a skillset perspective in muliple areas. He also is patient from a vision perspective which gets seen on a constant basis. The interest is way too light for Lincoln right now, who ran a .98 flying 10, 3.9 GPA, and is a three sport athlete for the Arrows. Some are missing a stud right now for their backfield.   <a href="https://x.com/LincolnSchutt20">TWITTER</a>     Talk about a linebacker that knows how to penetrate into the backfield quickly, college coaches might want to meet 2027 linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='2110108' first='Zhoel' last='Irion'] of Sturgis Brown, one of a a few of the top Scoopers in this class. The 6'1 205 pounder, is a bulldog of an athlete on both sides of the ball and it doesn't take long to see the football IQ pop out as Zhoel does the little things with great attention to detail. Zhoel is a tough tackle for those in charge in the backfield as he persistently makes linebacker miss. You will not miss on the high motor that this young man shows off on every rep he gets. Holds one early offer from Black Hills State and I am sure he will have more coming this spring/summer.   <a href="https://x.com/Zhoel_Irion">TWITTER</a>     Anneyso is a EDGE prospect that if you watch his first step, that alone will surely make you want to watch more of his tape as the Brandon Valley product enters our 2027 rankings as EDGE3 in the class. He's an edge rusher that moves like a linebacker in the Lynx defensive trenches, as he shows off the eluisiveness you want to see out of your edge rusher as Anneyso can cause chaos in the backfield from muliple angles. Really effective with getting off blocks and the timing he releases created a chunk of tackles for a loss in his junior season. High motor that is surely instinctive and super under the radar right now.   <a href="https://x.com/AnneysoA">TWITTER</a>     Andrew was a late add to this 2027 newcomers group in South Dakota, as yet another Watertown Arrows target that I name as a key newcomer to this group. The 6'2 270 pounder, boosts a swift first step for his size and I really like his hand placement he has at his disposal. He surely doesn't miss from a physical perspective as one that is a productive striker with his hands and connects heavily with that violence. He's one that I feel brings the intensity to multi-engage at the center position for Watertown as one that I have circled that could move up in this 2027 quickly.   <a href="https://x.com/AndrewDahl29630">TWITTER</a>
