As a safety, he uses that to hit defenders when he comes down from the box. Very good zone coverage skills and run support. He has very good mental processing by consistently watching the QB’s eyes and attacking. Stays patient and doesn’t miss his tackles. Very good tackler. He keeps them in his grasp and doesn’t let go. As a kick returner, he has very good vision and uses that to weave around getting extra yards. Offerdahl isn’t afraid to put his shoulder down and truck through defenders either. This kid is a beast, and colleges need to look his way.

This safety had a nice evening for Dakota Ridge. The 6’0 180-pound junior had 8 total tackles (7 solo, 1 assisted), TFL, 1 FF, 1 FR. Offerdahl is a hard-hitting safety who comes down in the box and lays the boom to unsuspecting ball carriers. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, change of direction, and acceleration. Offerdahl’s mental processing was on full display. He’ll watch the QB’s eyes and put himself in a position to make a play. One aspect that impressed me was his ability to stay patient. He stays patient, not getting overzealous and jumping a tackle. An example of his good competitive toughness was when the RB fumbled the ball, he was the first one on it. Fantastic prospect.

Offerdahl was the MVP of DBs and with good reason. Offerdahl measures in at 5’11 174 pounds. His combine stats are as follows: 4.89 40-yard dash, 4.26 shuttle, 9’0 broad jump, 7.42 L-drill. He showcased his good athletic ability throughout the drills. During the drills against the WRs, he was sticky like glue. If he got beat, the next play he would compete and come out on top. Shifty DB who uses his length to disrupt passes.

Offerdahl was the MVP for the DBs and was able to be lockdown against some of the top receivers. He showed good feet being able to get in and out of breaks quickly, making a play on the ball. In one on one he was one of few DBs and was able to stay hip to hip with receivers and not lose many battles. In 3 vs 2 he was able to show good vision and come up quickly to break up passes.

Offerdahl is a safety that has some decent speed and can cover his side of the field keeping the ball in front of him coming up to make plays. He has the ability to make a break on the ball and take it the other way, lowering his shoulder and picking up extra yardage. He at times can come up and make a hit on the receiver and dislodge the football. He shows the knack for being a good open field tackler, being able to break down and bring the ball carrier down in a hurry.

Offerdahl is a do-all athlete with the versatility to line up just about anywhere on the field and make plays. As a ball carrier, he scans the field for running lanes before using his acceleration and speed to take advantage of slight creases in coverage, adding to his value as a return man on special teams. When engaging in contact with a would-be tackler, he keeps his legs moving and uses his strength and sheer willpower to break free and gain extra yardage. Offerdahl’s talents help him stand out whenever he is on the field, turning him into a must-know player with the potential to be an extensively recruited plug-and-play prospect.
