DAKOTAS - As we begin the anticipation of the Freshman talent through North Dakota and South Dakota, our staff is excited to introduce the 2029 Class Watch List, which will provide names to follow in the two states.

The 2029 class comprised several participants at the 2025 Junior Future Games this past summer, and we got an early, up-close look at some of the top prospects in the class between the Dakotas and the rest of the country.

Below, in alphabetical order, we bring you 8 names who have caught our staff's attention over the past year and will be players to watch in the class.
