Our WR2 in the North Dakota 2026 class had himself a great live eval last year in the FargoDome as one of the biggest threats to watch for in this state semifinal on both sides of the ball. The 6’3 185 pounder, Easton I feel based on watching the tape, has gotten more long and springy as route-runner even from a year ago and even looks like he has gotten longer with his catch radius. He was one of the best wide receivers in the entire state championship games I saw last year in Fargo, and I am surprised he doesn’t have more D2 attention.

Benz and the Rockets are undefeated and the #1 ranked team in 9-man. Easton has 462 receiving yards and 4 TD’s. He is also a dude on defense. In hoops, Benz is a great defender, a major rebounder, and his offensive game is ready to take a leap this winter.

It is clear as day that Easton has worked efficiently on his release during the off-season as he shows to be quicker off the snap than in 2023. He also has grown an additional inch and added 15 pounds of frame since our last update now playing at 6’3 180 pounds. His open field vision is another skillset I have seen the growth from last season for Easton, as he constantly over his first four weeks has created every splash play with that skillset. This kid has no give up on his routes either, as if the first look isn’t there he shows off versatility with a second look quarterbacks will want to grasp for at the next-level. Our new WR1 in North Dakota’s 2026 class is one that I still certainly see plenty of upside brewing as the growth of his frame will certainly appease some suitors at the next-level. Twitter
