Live evals at camps always do the justice I say, and what I got out of West Fargo Sheyenne’s Ari Keller Ari Keller 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL/DL West Fargo Sheyenne | 2028 State ND last summer and winter elevated his stock to OL2 in the 2028 North Dakota class. The 6’4 295 pounder, has a great first step that it’s evident he knows how to process his feet downhill to quickly get driving leverage into the defensive line. Not to mention, Ari has developed quickly with his inside hand placement as if you watch his reps from our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase, it was very difficult for defensive linemen to get any penetration with their inside move. He also shows how constant he can get into the second level in numerous reps we saw this summer. He moves from off our intial 2028 rankings to #6 overall.

So far Ari Keller Ari Keller 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL/DL West Fargo Sheyenne | 2028 State ND looks like the best Fargo Area offensive linemen this 2028 class has to offer as Ari has already moved the needle from summer camps into winter at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. The 6’3 290 pounder from West Fargo Sheyenne goes over 6’6 when it comes ot his wingspan as you couldn’t miss on seeing the length in person in Aberdeen. Ari for his size, showed off a quicker twtch than what I saw even last summer which tells me the development on this young man is trending in the right direction. He boosts controlling hands at the point of attack and doesn’t fall for the inside move and proactively has good footwork that is only going to get better over the coming years out a West Fargo Sheyenne program that knows how to develop them in the weight room especially.

Ari was one of the better 2028 offenslive linemen we had in attendance at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. He was one of my first offensive linemen that passed the eye-test as the 6’2 288 pounder already has sound next-level size and that’s not all. I liked how strong his base was in pass-protection reps I watched as he not only showed off violent hands but I liked how agile his first step was to set the tone ahead of the pass-rusher coming his way. He also mixed in ideal pad-level and never got rattled with his hands from my eyes. He surely will be a top-tier offensive linemen in this 2028 class when the rankings come out in the next 4-5 weeks or less.

He is going to be a high riser when our 2028 rankings come out.
