Noah sits in my top-tier for the best quarterbacks regardless of class in the Rapid City Area and if you want to see why, you surely need to watch his outing in the state championship victory last year. He’s got the three level arm strength, but the strides he made in his sophomore season with his deep route accuracy and overall poise in the pocket are evident. You can also tell the chemistry he has with his wide receiving core and their routes as Noah is one of the most precise ball throwers this region has to offer regardless of class. Threw for 38 touchdowns as a sophomore and has two more years under his belt to grow even further in the Cavs offense.

I already am quite intrigued by this 2028 South Dakota quarterback class earlier than I would have expected, which includes Noah Wald Noah Wald 6'0" | 160 lbs | QB St Thomas More | 2028 State SD of Rapid City St. Thomas More who is our QB4 in the class and inside our top 20. It doesn’t take long to see that Noah is already developing a poised football IQ when he makes his reads, as a 2028 quarterback that impressed me with his solid balance that his arm strength possesses and the variety of speed his releases can make inside and outside of the pocket. Even with just having game tape thus far, I felt the arm strength and precision grow clip after clip which is a great sign for this incoming sophomore. Noah is the only QB to crack our list out of Rapid City in this class, making him the best QB in the area in the 2028 class.
