Especially with the depth of his change of direction, that is where I see the being growth as their is much more smoother balance with his cuts. The 6'4 180 pounder also is extremely long with his stretch and catch radius too. He surely looks like a Division I fit in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422260' first='Henry' last='Sejnoha'], OL, Sioux Falls O'Gorman, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/HenrySejnoha">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1551606,"width":"316px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/11/henry-crop-1536x1009-1730945109-crop-640x421-1730945132.jpeg?w=639" alt="" class="wp-image-1551606" style="width:316px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you could imagine, anytime a 6'7 300+ pound offensive linemen rolls thru the Dakotas I keep my blinders on constantly waiting for more tape out of them, which is the case with O'Gorman's Henry Sejohna. At 6'7 310 pounds, Henry lights his tape off with the vicious punch I always want to see from the getco also showing off constant great pad-level throughout his reps. It gets better when you watch him in pass protection, as you can tell even with his size there is good balance with his footwork as a right tackle for the Knights. He also has some bright upside with his leverage, as I thought from start to finish on tape, his leverage presence got better with more reps I watched. He will be one that you will certainly see at the scholarship level and one that I would love to splash during the summer prospect camp series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406691' first='Felipe' last='Gonzalez'], DL, Aberdeen Central, SD 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/g07_felipe">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Felipe is another name I have talked about liking his tape in the past and now that he is on Twitter and has a junior tape, we can expose his skillsets even further. The first skillset that pops out is his shedding ability as he gets off his blocks swiftly and maintains great balance with his feet getting downhill to the backfield. At 6'3 295 pounds, Felipe also is an enforcing run stopper and clogs the inside lane quickly with finesse and a great pursuit angle on his tackles. I would love to get this hometown kid to our Aberdeen Combine, as I love the odds this young man has of playing college football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='798254' first='Aaron' last='Morovits'], DL/OL, Sturgis Brown, SD 2025</strong> <a href="https://x.com/AaronMorovits">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1551611,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/11/Aaron-crop-339x223-1730945230.jpeg?w=338" alt="" class="wp-image-1551611" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aaron has some of the best leverage I have seen out of defensive tackles in this 2025 class as his tape really popped out quickly. He also appears sound with his athletic movement when he does have to get outside of the inside box as this 6'1 275 pounder just picked up his first offer the other day. His shedding ability also appears to have been developing since I last watcherd his tape in 2023 and overall, the growth Aaron has shown on tape has plenty of skillsets that have hit their strides higher. He sure as heck looks to me to be a 2025 stockriser that should get more attention at the Division II level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"22px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:22px"><strong>NORTH DAKOTA</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1226858' first='Jake' last='Hayes'], WR, Linton/Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock, ND 2026</strong> <a href="https://x.com/jakemhayes7">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of our top wide receivers in North Dakota's 2026 class had himself quite the game last week. Two interceptions and one receiving touchdown, and the tape that goes along with it surely caught my eyes. Even more since I first watched his over a year ago, Jake shows off the poise as a route-runner that would enstill plenty of confidence in a college coach with his great hands and football IQ, that might I add translates to both sides of the ball. At safety, Jake showed on those two interception clips I saw last week as a prospect that understands how to position his body to give himself a great angle to track the ball. He also has the range I like in a free safety with the sideline to sideline capability and hard-hitting tackling ability to go along with it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Nathan Schmitz, LB, Oakes, ND 2027</strong> <a href="https://x.com/NathanS05970832">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nathan is persistent flyer to the football and that skillset shows off not only defensively, but also on special teams as you can expect him as the first one down the field. He also shows off balanced vision even off blocks to attack the inside gap and the outer area around it, showing a well-ran motor at 6'1 195 pounds as just a sophomore. Nathan also shows off a good base of fluidity when he releases to the ball and I saw more consistent pursuit angles to the ball. He is one I would like to see at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Combine to see more of what he brings to the table as a next-level prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1314732' first='Beckett' last='Price'], RB, Bismarck St Marys Central, ND 2027</strong><a href="https://x.com/BeckettPri4837"> Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beckett is a 2027 tailback out of Bismarck that I have listed as one of the top running backs in that 2027 class in ND, and it sure looks to be the case on tape. Beckett's casts some great change of direction getting out high-traffic areas and has a developing spin move that I saw not once, but multiple times after popping on his tape. I love how sound Beckett's vision appears to be has he turns several nothing plays into chunk plays with his athleticism. He so far is one of my favorite tailbacks in this 2027 class in the Dakotas and had a solid showing at the NDSU camp this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Reid Morlock, ATH, Mohall/Lansford/Sherwood 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To me it's time to welcome MLS 2026 athlete Reid Morlock to be evaluated as a college football prospect cause I got a great feeling about it. The durability and escapability of what I see on tape allows defenses to think twice about not thinking of making a gang tackle on this kid due to his elusiveness, balance and footwork along the outside edge. Even as a pass-catcher, the poise this 6'1 170 pounder plays with shows out quickly in my eyes. In the game tape I got of him at wide receiver, I see a prospect that is a great route-runniner and gets his seperation swiftly and has the ball-tracking eyes to get around to the ball even if it's slightly off line. Next, we got to get this young man on Twitter!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
