Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Probably the biggest miss I have on our South Dakota 2026 watchlist which usually doesn’t come from 11AAA, has been Brandon Valley quarterback

. I just listed Briggs as one of the state’s biggest stat stuffers at the quarterback position earlier this week but I need to emphaisize further how under the radar this young man appears to be. Everything you see Briggs do is done quickly. The quick release is apparent as a 2026 gunslinger that has great efficency on all three levels. When the throw isn’t there, Briggs gets out of the pocket suddenly and I am sure even though the midseason tape isn’t out yet, that burst is more sudden than a year ago. There’s not too many hidden gems in South Dakota 11AAA, but Briggs surely is one of them.

A 2026 quarteback in 11AAA that I feel had a promising junior season and shown even more promise in his senior season is Brandon Valley’s

. He is the only one on this list that is yet to throw an interception thus far this season playing and doing that in 11AAA is surely impressive. Briggs shows off a well-versed quick release built for any route and is more damaging with his legs getting out of the pocket than those might expect. He has the deep ball arm strength you want and shows off consistently he knows how to place it with that deep ball precision. Surprisely, just one NAIA offer has taken notice thus far.
