Its been no secret that Beckham Presley-McKay Beckham Presley-McKay 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB/LB Bismarck Legacy | 2028 State ND is our RB1 in the 2028 North Dakota class for a reason, as this young man has really been a workhorse during camp season especially last summer and that stock has risen into his junior season. He’s gotten even more fluid in his junior season with his first step as now a bigger running back at 6’0 200 pounds that can still put the pedal to floor downfield. What I have liked about Beckham thus far this season translates to what I saw over the summer, which was his contact balance he has thru contact, as he’s improved swiftly in that regard. Beckham is a grinder that doesn’t have an off button when it comes to his work ethic which shows a blue-collar RB/LB for the Sabers.

We start with who was in my eyes one of the best 2028s in attendance at the Augustana Prospect Camp which was Bismarck Legacy running Beckham Presley-McKay Beckham Presley-McKay 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB/LB Bismarck Legacy | 2028 State ND . He surely estalbished why he’s our RB1 in the North Dakota 2028 class, as Beckham in the live eval showed off how well-rounded he was during his reps. The 6’1 190 pounder showed off the elusive change of direction I wanted to see as he ran a 6.93 in the L-drill and a 4.18 in the pro-agility and both of those certainly translated to the live reps I watched, as Beckham’s ability to make linebackers miss was persistent. What I loved most about what I got out of his live reps was in pass-blocking, as Beckham was showed off great durable hands that was one of few running backs that won just about every rep as it didn’t take long to grasp how relentless he was from a work ethic perspective in every rep he was given. He is surely off to a great start to his camp season based on the couple live evals I got of him in Sioux Falls and Brookings.

I had Beckham as our RB1 in the North Dakota 2028 class prior to the 2025 season and he surely proved why we had him ranked where he was at Sunday’s Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcases. Out of 120+ athletes in attendance, he ran the fastest L-drill with a whopping 6.89 at a verified 5’11 181 pounds. He also ran a 4.41 pro shuttle which is another intriguing area that showed off the change of direction that Beckham has at his disposal Beckham showed off during his Indy reps how well-rounded he is at the running back position as I thought his skillsets he showed off with the ball in his hands and as a pass-catcher were very balanced as he showed off soft hands I loved watching how he finished his runs. He is certainly going to be a tough RB1 to beat by this next rankings update in my eyes.
