Jesiah logged 237 all-purpose yards with five touchdowns in Week 7 in Warner’s 43-8 win over North Central. He showed off blossoming change of direction on tape with punt return’s as a athlete that has grown greater vision over the last 18 months. He’s one with my conversations with college coaches that they feel he has position flexibility as he’s turned into a sound pass-catcher as well. He to me is one that should garner more attention at the D2 level upcoming.

I swear it happens everytime I watch Jesiah at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcases, I untap something new that intrigues me with his skillsets he brings to the table. In Aberdeen on Saturday, it was his instincts that popped out in my eyes. The instinctive movement processed with translation to Jesiah’s high football IQ he has grown since I first evaluated him as a freshmen. His “instinctive vision moves with pure intent whenever the ball in his hands”, which is in fact what I heard from college coaches on Saturday in what intrigues them with Jesiah at the next-level. He surely doesn’t get enough credit for how durable he is as one of the most durable running backs in South Dakota 9-man football. If you want a running back who plays with a chip on his shoulder and has excellent character, Jesiah should be on your recruting board ASAP.

Jesiah since I started scouting him over a year ago, is a 2026 athlete that constantly plays with a chip on his shoulder. If you watch the tape, this young man grades well on all three levels but his next-level damage applies to me at running back. He has certainly developed his agility nicely since our Spring showcase in Sioux Falls and I believe for Jesiah to take that next step is developing his balance with those bouncy hips. He also pops out on tape at linebacker as one that with his vision and suddenness pops downhill to the ball with twitch and physicality on contact. The standout from the Warner Monarchs is another 2026 prospect that has a great shot as a scholarship-level athlete. Twitter
