A RB Offer:

Jamal Roberts - 6’ 1” 200 - RB - St Mary's (Saint Louis, MO)
3 star rating, 32nd ranked prospect in Missouri.

One thing I have been watching for this recruiting season is whether or not NDSU offers more FBSish prospects than in previous years. In this day and age of the transfer portal, I feel if the Coaching Staff has a good relationship with P5/FBSish players, why not offer? Say they offer 10 or so more players than in years past, it gives them 10 or so more prospects who might think of NDSU later on when entering the transfer portal.

Grant Larkin - 6’ 180 - ATH - Naperville IL (Neuqua Valley)

Another Missouri Offer!

Alex Bray
@A_TrainBray
2023 DE Marquette HS/ 1st Team All Conference/ 1st Team All District/ Team Captain/ 6’4” 240Lbs

It’s nice to see! It seems like Northern Iowa offered
about 10 prospects from Missouri the last couple weeks,
so it’s nice to see the Bison with two this week.

Bray also has Eastern Michigan, Missouri State, Eastern Illinois, Lindenwood offers

Lincoln Kienholz article from a couple weeks ago

https://605sports.com/Pierre's-Linco...wer-5-programs

……This past fall, Kienholz led the Governors to a 10-2 season and their fifth straight Class 11AA state championship. In the 2021 state championship game, Pierre trailed Tea Area by a 27-7 score in the third quarter. That’s when Kienholz, both throwing and running the ball, orchestrated a 23-point heart-pounding comeback for the state championship. He racked up 537 total yards and four total touchdowns on his way to Joe Robbie MVP honors.

For the season, the Class 11AA all-state quarterback threw for 3,359 yards and 37 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,165 yards and another 12 touchdowns on 146 carries. Entering his senior season, Kienholz has a school-record 5,678 passing yards and 58 passing touchdowns. He’s also rushed for 2,067 yards and 20 touchdowns……

As mentioned, Lincoln Kienholz has narrowed his focus to 4 teams in his recruiting process
