Continue ReadingThe second of four installations of this series will hit the South Dakota Offensive Selections. This one becomes a little more challenging with more kids to pick from as well as the different play styles to pick from. a lot of different schemes to choose from based on the different talents each team possesses on the field. These players will be picked on what I would like to see in this All-Star Game based on the film I enjoyed watching on each of these players. Check them out here!
QB- Lincoln Kienholz Lincoln Kienholz 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Pierre | 2023 State , Pierre TF Riggs: I like the kid’s athleticism, moves around and keeps plays alive, is just as big of threat running as he is throwing, deadly accurate on the deep routes.
RB- Gavin Ross Gavin Ross 5'11" | 205 lbs | RB Harrisburg | 2023 State , Harrisburg: Ross can dish out a lot of punishment to opposing defenses all game long, makes his best plays late it the game and becomes a deciding factor in the game via the rushing attack.
RB- Brenden Begeman Brenden Begeman 6'2" | 195 lbs | RB Herreid/Selby | 2023 State , Herreid-Selby: Begeman can hurt opponents by running or catching the ball. He also has a big motor and keeps the wheels turning until the whistle or when he crosses the goal line.
WR- Griffin Wilde Griffin Wilde 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Sioux Falls Jefferson | 2023 State , Sioux Falls Jefferson: Wilde has the size and the speed to hurt secondaries for yards and points. He does a great job making himself a favorable target on each play, especially when they need a big play.
WR- Jack Merkwan Jack Merkwan 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Pierre | 2023 State , Pierre TF Riggs: Merkwan was the biggest vertical threat in the State. He had the speed to outrun almost any defender, and the concentration to reel in the passes in tight coverage.
TE- Sam Hindbjorgen Sam Hindbjorgen 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE SF Lincoln | 2023 State , Sioux Falls Lincoln: Hindbjorgen was a good blocker for the run game and did a great job being a reliable target, especially when the QB was under pressure.
All these Lineman have great size, footwork, hand technique, and drive off the snap to really spark the run game and give maximum protection for the QB.
OL- Kael Miedema Kael Miedema 6'8" | 310 lbs | OL SF Washington | 2023 State , Sioux Falls Washington
OL- Elliott Renville Elliott Renville 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL SF Lincoln | 2023 State , Sioux Falls Lincoln
OL- Jason Maciejczak Jason Maciejczak 6'4" | 320 lbs | OL Pierre | 2023 State , Douglas
OL- Jarrett Theisen Jarrett Theisen 6'5" | 295 lbs | OL Watertown | 2023 State , Watertown
OL- Christian Busch Christian Busch 6'4" | 250 lbs | OL Pierre | 2023 State , Pierre TF Riggs
