1. Johanneson of South- As I said before icredible size, strength, speed, vision, and balance. The balance was the amazing part. Someone I was watching the game with commented that he never goes down hard, and that's because of his balance. Hits never rock him they just kinda knock him off track and eventually he goes down from people hanging on him. He's rushed for over 4000 through his junior year playing AAA teams and like I said he has major D1 talent
2. Ricky Galindo of Bismarck- Not near as big as Johanneson and you can argue he's got a great line and a team commited to running, but he has good vision, strength, and quickness. He finds holes very well and finishes runs well. He's just a very polished back that doesn't do anything poorly. Did have some fumble issues in the title game though. Also a durable back
3. Chrest- great athlete and elusive in the open field. You have to admit though some of that tackling was just awful. He is a very good player though. I'd say he's definitely better on D. He can play DB at the next level. I'd expect probably a D2 school. Did he attempt a pass in the title game? I can't remember one.
I also loved the Ty Brooks kid from South. He's definitely an exciting player, but I don't think he made he enough plays to consider him instead of Chrest. The ones he made were huge though, and the other problem is Chrest is just a lot bigger than him. He has a lot of spirtability though.
Next on the list would probably be 3 St. Marys kids. Noah Krebs is a very good outside linebacker. Very aggressive and hits well. Also a perfect fullback. Very useful player. Their tailback Jacob Heinart was impressive. Super quick feet and he's only a sophmore. And Brian Obstrich was a big time receiver. Big, athletic and good ball skills.
