Jude debuts as our ATH2 in the 2028 class and has a great opportunity to develop even higher in this class. It doesn’t take long to see why he is one the top athletes in South Dakota, as that athleticism pops out very quickly as route-runner in the Chargers receiving core as Jude has the burst to beat the corner with the speed he showed off at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase last time. He’s also very twitchy with his lateral movement and gets down to the ball carrier quickly as a defensive back. The now 6’0 175 pounder is one that plays with a chip on his shoulder and surely is one that plays above his measurables with his football IQ.

This is now the third of the Prins brothers that have been to our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase and the story remains the same, athleticism surely runs well in the family. Jude was one of my preliminary top performers I was hoping to see and he lived up to that report pre-showcase. The 5’10 170 pounder, plays way above those measurables will show you and was the top tester just about across the board in the DB group, running a 4.68 40-yard dash, 4.59 in the pro shuttle, 9’0 in the broad jump and was tied for second amongst hand size (9.75) which is not common to see amongst defensive backs at our showcases. He showed off his rangy, fluid movement I was looking to see and I love the upside that has to prove in the coming years as a defensive back but yet, has so much position flexiblity on either side of the ball. He certainly is another 2028 that will get a big bump up our 2028 rankings.

Jude is another swiss-army knife signed up for our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase on Sunday as one that is one I will certainly have my eyes on. He is a springy route-runner that can stretch the field on deep routes and can get to the second level with his sudden burst quickly when in the Chargers backfield like he showed during thier state championship run in the 2025 season. Rangy as a safety and one that plays great 1v1 pass coverage when he is needed. He is one I would expect steps into muliple positions at our showcase on Sunday.

Jude is another Sioux Falls Area 2028 prospect that made an impact on Friday night against West Central. His interception he logged just shows off impressive instincts for his age as when I rolled back the tape, he came from the opposite end of the field to get it showing off the athleticism and sideline to sideline presence this young man already has at his disposal as just a sophomore. The tape shows off versatility that has good carry on all three levels of the football field As the third Prins brother I have been able to scout over the years out of Sioux Falls Christian.
