Continue ReadingNo one uses Minnesota and Wisconsin high school football prospects quite like the North Dakota State University Bison. The undeniable best team in the FCS has won eight of the last nine FCS national championships and sport a record of 128 wins and only eight losses in that span from 2011-2019. That success has come from a foundation primarily built and maintained by stud prep football players from the great states of Minnesota and Wisconsin that continues to reload year by year. It seems like every January I see former MN and WI standouts balling out on the big stage of the FCS national championship, a testament to both the talent from these two bordering states as well as the development and culture of the Mighty Bison. With FCS delayed in this unprecedented year I wanted to take a deeper dive into the 2021 recruiting class of the Bison from those two states and check on the commits as well as the players still being recruited by NDSU. We’ll take a look at recruits from the 2021 and 2022 class, and I’ll make sure to denote whether the prospect holds an offer or is just being recruited for the moment. You won’t find a more comprehensive report anywhere else! Thanks for reading.
