Offense
(seniors unless noted)
Quarterback
Zach Yeager, Minneapolis North, 6-2, 200, North Carolina A&T
(Saw Totino-Grace’s Kristoff Kowalkowski as a 1st team choice elsewhere - Prep Redzone? He visited Fargo)
(It’s an All-Metro Team, so Moorhead’s Trey Feeney too out-state)
(Would guess those 3 QB’s were among those in consideration for NDSU’s QB offer - iirc all 3 are two-star on 247, as is Omaha Westside’s Cole Payton, whom NDSU did choose to offer and he did commit)
Running backs
Terrance Kamara, Minneapolis North, 5-9, 175, undecided
(Kamara - a 247 2 Star - was committed to Air Force, now a decommit - has many FCS offers, but I never did see a Bison offer. In seeing parts of Barika Kpeenu’s games this year, Kamara would seem redundant. If the Bison preference was the home town kid, so be it. Gotta love the underrated, underscouted area prospects)
Carter Otto, Elk River, 6-0, 210, undecided
Camden Royal, Cooper, junior, 5-10, 175, undecided
Wide receivers
Elijah Green, Farmington, 5-11, 186, undecided
(Northern Iowa, SDSU offers - has visited Fargo, but no offer yet)
Cade Kramer, Eden Prairie, 6-2, 180, Minnesota Duluth
(NDSU interest, has visited Fargo)
Tight end
Jaxon Howard, Cooper, sophomore, 6-4, 225, undecided
Offensive linemen
Riley Mahlman, Lakeville South, 6-8, 285, Wisconsin
Bastian Swinney, Edina, 6-6, 285, California
Logan Purcell, Annandale, 6-7, 250, Minnesota
Joe Alt, Totino-Grace, 6-7, 260, Notre Dame
Lucas Heyer, Hill-Murray, junior, 6-5, 305, undecided
(5 P5 players on the 1st Team O-Line!)
(Did see Bison commit Sam Henry on a 2nd Team list, I believe it was Prep Red Zone’s)
(Also on that 2nd Team was Gerrit Poncius from Buffalo, a NDSU interest)(Also on the 2nd Team is Alec Rasmussen from Wayzata whom I post about in the MVFC Recruiting Thread. Both he and Poncius have great size - potential Rams???)
Athlete
Rio Sanders, Minneapolis North, junior, 6-0, 175, undecided

Jake Ratzlaff, Rosemount, 6-2, 210, Minnesota (hockey)
R.J. Chakolis, Hopkins, 5-10, 200, undecided

Defensive backs
Tre Holloman, Cretin-Derham Hall, junior, 6-2, 170, undecided
