<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BROOKINGS, SD--</strong> We at Prep Redzone keeping hitting the gas on camp season content as we slide into Part II of our list of standouts from the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Camp last Thursday in Brookings. Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and the longest stretched prospect geographically, Hawaii were the states that were the most active in Part II from SDSU. Let's meet the prospects that made our list from the offensive line, wide receivers, running backs, and more!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["346817"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I got to watch Wyatt early in testing and a bit during Indy Drills too and he showed off why he is such a hot commodity on the recruiting trail right now. I don't put much stock in evaluating 40 yard dashes for the offensive line however I had jotted down that I loved the athleticism I got from Wyatt's 40 yard dash. When I got to watch Wyatt in Indy drills, he showed off plenty of instinct in his first steps into all his reps, and a strong bent that you can tell is belt for violence up front which stands highly true if you have watched Wyatt's tape. His tape shows off plenty of the versatility you are going to want on a Division I FCS roster with swift hands, a nasty first step as a pull-blocker that runs like a downhill freight train downhill at the point of attack. Wyatt consistently drives blocks into the second level with the huge plethora of physicality he brings off.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Thomas Martian","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Rapid City Stevens","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Thomas was another 2024 offensive linemen that I caught in Indy drills and was one that showed off a good plethora of athletic movements in what I watched on Thursday. At 6'4 285 pounds, Thomas showed off a well-balanced base with the speed of his hands, foot speed in his lower body, and also showed off good bases of pad level that has improved substantially since his 2022 season. Thomas has shown that he has grown the most with his physicality since 2022 as he has plenty of more fluidity that he shows off now which is why his recruiting has significantly bulked up. Thomas also does show on tape that his pass protection has an impressive ceiling as this kid is a superb angle blocker that shows off good instincts with his angle blocking to open up holes for his running backs.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Braden Albrecht","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Maui (HI)","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Braden caught my eyes on numerous occasions throughout the Jackrabbits camp on Thursday. Early in testing he showed off what his explosive traits were with a explosive 9'3 broad jump with his 6'2 190 pound wide receiver frame. Then again in 1v1s, Braden showed off not just a long catch radius, but I loved watching how well balanced he was with his rotational athleticism from his catch to getting downfield quickly. Braden also showed off a WR that has a significant twitch which he showed off in those 1v1s reps I caught and has a self verified 4.1 pro agility that sticks out to me. I would not be surprised if this Alexandria, Minn native now playing for Maui High (Hawaii) attracted several Midwest suitors at the D2 and FCS level as his camp schedule painted that is where he wants to be and also in my eyes where his next-level fit lies.

I also liked watching JJ's feet change directions later in the session as he showed off a DB prospect that has some smooth elusive mobility with how swiftly he can cutback to the ball when deeper in route. JJ also has really good balance around the edges of the field as he throws out on tape a DB that on short yardage routes is stuck like glue to the wide receiver which illustrates if the QB throws the ball slightly off line, he could make the ball his very easily which you see consistently on tape. Surprisingly, JJ is significantly under the radar although his showing in Brookings and on tape is intriguing for the next-level. He certainly is a hidden gem at defensive back out of the Des Moines suburb.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Carter Fischer","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Jim River","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Carter was a young 2026 first look South Dakota prospect to me, however was one that I believe has an interesting upside based on the athleticism I saw from him at the South Dakota State Prospect Camp. The 2026 defensive line prospect out of the Jim River Trappers co-op program I thought is one of those projects that college coaches like to get their hands on especially in the weight room, as Carter gave me the impression you could develop this kid significantly from where his frame is now. Now before we jump forward, we will need to see some football tape from this young man but I see the athletic insitncts are there for the taking for this young man to keep developing his craft as a likely two-way prospect on the Trappers lines.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["381209"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Bronco was another prospect from this page of notes that intrigued me with his ample instincts with his athleticism from the early session at South Dakota State's prospect camp. You usually don't find versatile athletes showing off the broad jump numbers that Bronco put up on Thursday in Brookings. Bronco's tape is very intriguing to me. He shows off plenty of arm talent on all three levels and has that precision to thread the needle on intermediate routes. I also like his quick release on his shorter routes along with his good mobility outside of the pocket and has a quick instinct of burst once he hits the second level of the field. Although I didn't catch Bronco in 1v1s in Brookings playing at the safety position, I do believe Bronco is a prospect that can keep his options open as far as his best positional fit is as this young man is not too shabby either with his QB tape and is a proven winner that won a state championship in Colorado 3A football in 2022.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='918768' first='Ryan' last='Babatz']","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Buffalo","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"We also know by now I love a prospect that shows off that u0022finishu0022 in their skilsets as that was the case with Buffalo (Minn) [player_tooltip player_id='918768' first='Ryan' last='Babatz'] at the South Dakota State prospect camp. Whether it was in testing or the one of my favorite camp drills in county fair, Ryan certainly was an offensive line prospect you could tell was working his tail off. Also seeing an OL prospect jump nearly 9'0 feet like Ryan did consistently on Thursday points a strong college football future for him in my eyes. Ryan on tape has plenty of strength in his hands, and I see the potential for more power in his hands as he develops over his next two years of high school football. He also does a solid job of getting leverage from across his body as that points heavily to me with the strength he has punching from an angle. Overall, I like the future for Ryan as he looks like a Division I FCS fit in my eyes out of the 2025 class.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["761746"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Adrian was a running back prospect out of NW Iowa that showed off some good athletic twitch when I watched him change directions in 1v1s and Indy drills on Thursday. Adrian shows off to me on tape what is a sneaky running back between the tackles that just has a fluid base from start to finish with his enter and exiting speed when he gets into the open field with great amounts of separation. Adrian is also extremely durable getting yards after contact as he has a toughly built lower body. At 5'10 185 pounds I find this young man more under the radar than he should be based on my in person evaluation and on tape too.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499054a9466f"} /-->
