Another prospect that got a bump in our South Dakota 2025 rankings was Mobridge-Pollock’s Elijah Eagle Elijah Eagle 6'2" | 310 lbs | DL Mobridge | 2025 State SD . I watched this young man a bunch at our Prep Redzone Dakotas combine and was impressed by the improvement of his hand technique and athletic movement in the defensive trenches in Sioux Falls after watching him a summer ago. He takes his talents over to Mobridge-Pollock in the 2024 season which I think will enhance his stock as a small school college prospect that sticks out positionally as a nose guard. Elijah also improved his speed of getting off blocks in Sioux Falls and I wouldn’t be surprised if Elijah moved up his stock again when we look at this 2025 class again after the season.

Elijah was a defensive linemen that from our last SD Combine, I thought showed off higher amounts of growth than I expected. I was especially impressed with his footwork, as he certainly showed off more balance and smoother technique with his reps I got to watch. He also showed off better pad-level with his hands than I recall watching last time around in Aberdeen. Elijah also saw himself jump up a level on our All-Camp Team, as one you can tell that has put in the work and has a shot at the next-level. Twitter
