Staying as our TE1 in the 2029 North Dakota class but moving up 15+ spots was LaMoure-Litchville-Marion tight end Owen DeLaBarre Owen DeLaBarre 6'2" | 223 lbs | TE/DL LaMoure/Litchville-Marion | 2029 State ND . We got most of our glimipses of Owen late last season, but what we saw during the NDSU Indy camp was more size (6’2 223) and surely one of the more athletic profiles at that size within that 2029 class that was in attendance at Fargo. Owen’s pretty well-rounded when it comes to the tight end position. He can get downhill into the second level and create open field for the run game and blocks like a bully looking for fight with also good pad-level on those blocks. He’s effective in red zone packages as a pass-catcher and is one that doesn’t need much of a window to work with in higher traffic areas as he’s instinctive as a route-runner between the blockers.

We were able to get a live eval on our TE1 in the North Dakota 2029 class which is LaMoure-Litchville-Marion’s Owen DeLaBarre Owen DeLaBarre 6'2" | 223 lbs | TE/DL LaMoure/Litchville-Marion | 2029 State ND who caught our attention at NDSU this summer at camp. The now 6’2 210 pounder, has gotten taller since our last 2029 rankings update, and his skillsets look more polished across the board. He showed off to be more fluid as a route-runner and I was impressed with his upside I saw especially as a run and pass blocker. Our TE groups in North Dakota is usually a small group, but the fact that Owen is showing versatile skillsets as a freshmen in a state championship game is surely encouraging.

Owen was a name that caught my attention at one of the NDSU two-day camps this summer as a tight end and defensive linemen to know in this 2029 class. He comes in as our TE1 in the class at #20 overall as the nearly 6’0 203 pounder showed off in the top-tier for testing in all categories amongst 2029s at the NDSU camps based on my SES analytic (size, explosiveness, speed). The light reps I watched showed off promising upside and as the head coach’s son at LaMoure-Litchville-Marion, he’s a 2029 prospect that should develop well in the weight room and on the football field in the coming years for sure.
