This 2028 linebacker group to me was one of the more stacked classes we had in a position group at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase last Saturday and yet another that I felt was a stockriser, was Florence-Henry’s Carson Kelly Carson Kelly 6'1" | DL/OL Florence | 2028 State SD . The 5’10 172 pounder was undersized, but man he played with a presence you had to watch around the ball. You might not hear the term long very often with those measurables, but with a 74′ wingspan (6’2) I felt in the reps I watched from Carson, that was an advantage he knew how to use. He was a linebacker that was quite coachable from my eyes, as you could catch that Carson was a quick learner from the first rep I watched to the last reps I got to watch in Sioux Falls. Surely one to get out to camp this summer in this 2028 class as another stockriser in this 2028 LB class in South Dakota.

Carson is a linebacker out of Florence-Henry that I feel is quite under the radar yet demonstrates the football IQ on muliple levels of the field. He shows off athletically that he is agile at getting off blocks and getting to the point of attack with soft hands off those blocks. He’s a high motor player that can play sideline to sideline that can fly to the football coming from the other side of the field. He’s one that I hope to see take in camps this summer as he’s got a lot of frame he can fill out but the upside is surely there.
