One of the best newcomers you are going to see in this 2028 South Dakota rankings comes from Elk Point-Jefferson offensive linemen Addison Peterson Addison Peterson 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL Elk Point-Jefferson | 2028 State SD . If you want to talk about violence at the point of attack, Addison brings a heck of a lot of it clip after clip from his sophomore tape. At last Spring’s Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, from the numerous college coaches I talked to at all levels, just about all them that were evaluating offensive linemen had him as one of their first mentions as a freshmen. He’s gotten more fluid with his footwork since then and is not one you want to meet as a pull blocker with the barrelling power he brings in space. He gets a D1 grade from me out of this 2028 class out of Class 11B.

-Addison caught the attention not only from the eye test at our last Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, but for his footwork, hands, and more from every Division level that was in attendance.

-If you want a pulling guard that is the definition of violent at the point of attack with their punch, you need to roll Addison’s first four weeks of tape as you see exactly that right away.

-You can’t not love the way the now 6’4 300 pounder finishes his blocks as just a sophomore as from my eyes right now, could be the first 2028 offensive linemen to get an offer out of this class as a massive stockriser in this class.

One of the most impactful 2028 offensive linemen that surely passed the eye test, had some college coaches intrigued even as a 2028, and in the end turned out to be a OL top performer at the end of our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, was Addison Peterson Addison Peterson 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL Elk Point-Jefferson | 2028 State SD of Elk Point-Jefferson. He measured in at 6’2 295 pounds, but man I get the feeling that Addison could end up bigger than that by the end of his HS career. The first question that Addison answered was with his footwork, as I was impressed by how mobile he appeared to be based on my first look. Addison showed off the wide base that defensive linemen struggled getting to the outside edge as Addison was a persistent driver when they gave him that outside move. There is plenty of upside for this kid yet to prove in the coming years, but man he is trending into my 2028 rankings as one of the best offensive linemen in the class with elite size already.
