Another Firebird trench mosnter that lit up the stat sheet in the 11AA state championship game was 2028 defensive end Grady Quam Grady Quam 6'1" | 220 lbs | EDGE/OL Devils Lake | 2028 State ND . Watching Grady throughout the season, he has gotten more intent-focused with his pass rush moves and that was the case too inside the FargoDome. He also has gained attentive vision is higher traffic areas in pass-protection which was evidently seen against Minot North last Friday night. Another area that is apparent, is Grady seems to have growing length once he penetrates in the backfield as I would love to get a number on his wingspan as it could grow his stock as a pass rusher.

Devils Lake has been on a somewhat unexpected tear thus far and in my eyes Grady Quam Grady Quam 6'1" | 220 lbs | EDGE/OL Devils Lake | 2028 State ND has something to do with it, as their defensive trenches is much improved. His pass rush moves have gotten more progressive week by week and his adjustments he’s made slowing down the run have also blossomed ahead from camp this summer. He’s another 2028 that a big bump up our 2028 rankings is incoming.
