One of the biggest and best sleepers, under-the-radar, and darkhorse talents in Minnesota’s 2027 class comes out of Moorhead, but not Moorhead High School! Park Christian, who went 7-3 in 2025 as a Class A, Section 8 competitor, represents the private school option in Moorhead, and like many 2027s in the Fargo/Moorhead area right now, Logan Giese Logan Giese 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Park Christian | 2027 State MN owns rare, special, and verifiable athletic and testing data points that reek like scholarship money. Giese, who is coming off a monster junior season as a RB, SB, returner, and sticky DB, posted eye-catching 2025 Outdoor T&F season times such as his 11.23 100M and 6.92 55M indoor 2025, already platforming him as one of the most dynamic and explosive 2027s in the Upper Midwest, not just Minnesota.

Giese can leave defenders trailing in the dust, and his game-breaking speed can tear a game and defense wide open at any second and on any kind of rep. Giese gashes coverage units as a kickoff returner, where he can work East-Wide patiently before a seam reveals itself, and he can outrun any and all Class A defenders once he sees daylight. Giese can cut at top speed, and his tool bag of moves in the open field helps him consistently make that free man and defenders miss. Plus, he’s laterally agile and explosive when he sticks his cleats in the grass and gets vertical, can burst between the tackles and through the free safety and third level defenders before they can seemingly react, and demonstrates good contact balance for his size, thanks to his strong lower body which helps power those terrific track times. Additionally, Giese is a ballhawk of a DB whose top-end speed, instincts, and natural playmaking composition make a lockdown defender in both man and zone coverage alike. Shawn Kostich of North Dakota came to Park Christian in late January to check out Giese & co. this winter, so he’s very much on the radar of local D1s and D2s, as well as displaying all of the pieces to be a massive stock riser and ranking’s riser on our 2027 Big Board.

Representing Section 8A, Park Christian High School up in Moorhead has been one of the 2025 season’s biggest surprises and best offenses, averaging 260 passing yards per game and 138 rushing yards per game to fire themselves out to a 3-1 start in 2025. This is the Falcons first year up to Class A after competing in 9Man the past seasons, and with the help of some explosive juniors, Park Christian looks more than ready for continued 11-man success. Up first is standout RB/DB Logan Giese Logan Giese 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Park Christian | 2027 State MN , who has posted 60 carries for 478 yards and 9 TDs along with 17 tackles, 2 TFLs, 2 FFs, and 4 INTs through four games of 2025 action, and I don’t see the production slowing down anytime soon.

An exciting blend of speed, quickness, and power, Giese displays pull away, top-end speed to finish big runs for six and game-breaking pace that can capitalize on smaller creases and holes in an opposing defense. He possesses dirty quickness in the open field that puts would-be tacklers on skates, great ball skills, shifty, powerful COD ability that can generate some serious juice when he sticks and plants, and good contact balance for his size. I love Giese’s nose for the big play, and he is always looking to score with the ball in-hand. Splash plays and momentum-building highlights just seem to surround this dude. Buy stock now!
