The Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase took their talents to Jamestown, North Dakota at the University of Jamestown on Sunday afternoon. We saw the talents of over 80 prospects, who unleashed their skillsets in the brand new Nelson Bubble, in which we saw prospects from 3 states and Canada take the turf. We start off with our Gamechangers, as we meet the MVP from each position group and what skillsets popped out to us in their live evaluation to certify why they were the MVP at the Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase!   Quarterback MVP:   [player_tooltip player_id='825394' first='Tee' last='Sylling'], QB, Maple River (ND) 2025   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9908-1-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356488.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112551" style="width:334px;height:auto" /></figure>   Tee was certainly a game-changer during the 2023 season, and brought that same energy to our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase in Jamestown on Sunday winning our QB MVP award. The poise this young man showed off thru the drills I got to watch, showed me how much of a quick learner he is from coaching. Tee showed off promising well-versed footwork in the throws in the Indy drills I watched from him and he showed fluid dexterity angling his feet and finishing his throws with excellent balance. He also showed advanced awareness with his touch-throwing ability and if you haven't figured out by now, is a 6'3 190 pound quarterback on the rise in our 2025 class in North Dakota with how much he has grown over the last 6 months.   <a href="https://twitter.com/SyllingTee">Twitter</a>   Running Back MVP:   [player_tooltip player_id='1112592' first='Josiah' last='Heinz'], RB, Harrisburg (SD) 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9911-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356572.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112554" style="width:317px;height:auto" /></figure>   Josiah showed off a ton of explosive traits yesterday at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. He showed off plenty of edgy agility at his disposal and I saw from start to finish in Jamestown. The instinct that Josiah played with yesterday was also very intriguing to watch, as he showed off a running back prospect that doesn't need much space to use his short field burst to his advantage. Josiah also showed plenty of balance in his footwork and I thought grew his skillsets in the passing game from Indy drills that showed off plenty of upside going into his junior season at Harrisburg. Josiah certainly looks like he might be one of the top South Dakota running backs out there in the 2026 class when our 2026 rankings get revealed in the coming weeks. <a href="https://twitter.com/JosiahHeinz57">Twitter</a>   Wide Receiver MVP:   Gavin Olson, WR, West Fargo Horace (ND) 2024   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9910-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356627.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112557" style="width:329px;height:auto" /></figure>   Back to back weeks at our Prep Redzone Showcases we have seen some excellent route-running from our WR MVPS which on Sunday was West Fargo Horace 2024 wide receiver Gavin Olson who is still uncommitted might I add. What I loved most about Gavin was despite not being the biggest wide receiver out there in Jamestown, he made up for it with the outstanding physicality on his routes as he wasn't phased by any defensive back that he went up against regardless of size. He showed off a huge catch radius with his vertical on display on one rep I watched and was showed off what an sound athlete he was, as he showed the same consistent physicality with the defensive back reps I watched him back, as he made the most of his showcase experience as a walk-up. He certainly has a next-level future as a slot-receiver, as his open field awareness and instincts should certainly pop out to college coaches, as Gavin is dynamic on tape and has so much burst from start to finish. He certainly is an under the radar WR on a late rise in the North Dakota 2024 class as this is a young man I would offer right now. <a href="https://twitter.com/GavinOlsonND">Twitter</a>   Offensive Line MVP:   [player_tooltip player_id='1112591' first='Aiden' last='Wunderlich'], OL, Central Cass (2026)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9903-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356688.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112559" style="width:346px;height:auto" /></figure>   One of my favorite underclassmen signups before the Prep Redzone Dakotas pointed at 6'6 270 pound 2026 offensive linemen [player_tooltip player_id='1112591' first='Aiden' last='Wunderlich']. The outstanding length Aiden had at his disposal was well-noted via my notepad, as the strength of his hands and leverage was able to drive block his defenders into the next-area code as he really impressed me with his pass protection at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase and that was consistent all-day long. He also showed off efficiency with his angle blocking from the reps I watched on Sunday. For his size, Aiden showed off an athletic bend and showed fluidity in his footwork which as you can imagine with his measureables showed off some length in his strides which allowed him to persistently win at the point of attack. Aiden sure as heck looks like a Division I level prospect in my eyes even as an underclassmen as this is a young man I would buy stock in ASAP if I am one of the Dakotas FCS schools. <a href="https://twitter.com/aidenw426">Twitter</a>   Defensive Line MVP:   [player_tooltip player_id='1103576' first='Karter' last='Moody'], DL, Groton (SD) 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9905-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356770.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112561" style="width:349px;height:auto" /></figure>   The elusively quick hand speed Karter showed off in the reps I watched out him were damaging at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase as the 6'3 260 pound defensive linemen from small town Groton, South Dakota took home our DL MVP in Jamestown. Not only were Karter's hands quick, he showed off a fluid pad-level with his hand positioning from the reps I watched and won a handful of reps with his excellent position angles which allowed him to get downhill quickly. The athleticism that Karter showed off along with his next-level ideal measurables certainly puts him as a South Dakota 2026 prospect to know that has a very high ceiling. <a href="https://twitter.com/KarterMoody">Twitter</a>   Linebacker MVP:   Casey Macziewski, LB, Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (MN) (2025)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9913-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356863.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112563" style="width:360px;height:auto" /></figure>   Our linebacker MVP showed off plenty of excellent instincts that he showed off to the college coaches in attendance on Sunday in Jamestown at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. Casey I could tell has a sound football IQ that showed off an excellent base when I watched his hip flexibility and positioning he had at the point of attack when I watched him in Indy drills and later into 1v1s. I will be excited to find out where Casey's broad jump numbers pops out at because the explosive physicality he shows off on tape show off a linebacker that although slightly undersized plays with a fearless demeanor at 5'11 190 pounds that had 96 tackles as a junior at DGF. He certainly has a future of playing football on Saturdays in my eyes and is a LB prospect you go outside the measurables threshold for. <a href="https://twitter.com/CaseyMacziewski">Twitter</a>   Defensive Back MVP:   [player_tooltip player_id='356867' first='Joseph' last='Kramlich'], DB, Ellendale-Edgeley-Kulm (ND) 2025   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/12/IMG_9909-rotated-crop-480x316-1702356915.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-1112572" style="width:347px;height:auto" /></figure>   Last but not least, we meet our first "back to back" defensive back MVP we have ever had at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcases, in Ellendale-Edgeley-Kulm's [player_tooltip player_id='356867' first='Joseph' last='Kramlich'] who was dominant during my viewing of Indy drills and the 1v1s I watched. In Indy drills, Joseph showed off his outstanding football IQ having the agility in his feet to constantly slow down and shut down ball carriers in Indy drills. He also was very quick in learning from coaching from the Jimmies staff, as it didn't take long for Joseph to develop the skillsets he was shown as it took just one play for him to grasp their coaching and get downhill with smooth positioning and showing off his agile burst with his change of direction. At 5'11 170 pounds, the physicality Joseph shows off in pass coverage is certainly eye-catching as his long arms were damaging to most of the wide receivers he went up against as he won several reps with his positioning and showing off his long reach. He is DB1 in my eyes overall in the Dakotas, and already has a plethora of Division I interest and visits coming thru this winter as a Division I fit in my eyes as his stock has continued to grow over the last 6-8 months. <a href="https://twitter.com/joseph_k25">Twitter</a>
