Continue ReadingIn our first “Recruiting Roundup” for Prep Redzone Dakotas, we take a look at who got an offer, interest, and took visits to football programs. We’ll start back on September 22nd and go until the present day.
Offers, Interest, Etc.
Let us start by clarifying the word offer. An offer is at the very least a roster spot to play college football at the next level. Whether there are scholarship dollars involved to play football is a different story, as for example, Division III programs cannot offer football scholarships. Interest could mean a player got a recruiting graphic from a college program in the last few weeks. Visits would be either an in-person visit to that college campus or in today’s age, a virtual visit.
The Numbers
To our count, over 60 players in North and South Dakota got at least interest from college programs over the last few weeks and I’m sure we missed some, and I’m sure there are ones that don’t post their offers on Twitter. If we did miss anybody, please feel free to DM the Prep Redzone Dakotas account or email Nate Wahl at nwahl34@gmail.com and we will be happy to add you! Way to go Dakotas!
