The Black Raider roster is littered with talent on both sides of the football. Senior Colin Pittenger 6-1 (250) is a college prospect with two full years of varsity experience and with off-season work has likely saved his best for last and should have a dynamite senior year. In watching HUDL film on Pittenger he has versatility and is featured at both DE/DT. Pittenger has played hundreds of snaps and displays great use of his hands and gets separation from offensive linemen and sheds blocks very well to release and make the tackle or continue pursuit. Simply stated Pittenger is a technician on the DL. Pittenger recorded (34.5) tackles and (6) TFL last fall. Pittenger is a D1 or D2 prospect and I expect colleges to be looking at early senior tape to update their evaluations. Great prospect and hard worker! Follow Pittenger on X: @Colin_pitt19

The Dakota Valley Panthers have an outstanding Junior OL Seth Reinhardt 6-4 (270) that had a great 2024 season as a sophomore at RT and DT. The HUDL film is impressive as Reinhardt displays an excellent IQ in blocking and understanding leverage and is a finisher in the run game. Reinhardt plays through the whistle. Reinhardt recently performed well at a camp at Kansas State and will be camping at Wisconsin, U.S.D. and SDSU this spring. I look for Reinhardt to take a leadership role in the huddle and help bring along the offensive line this fall for the Panthers. His best football is in front of him. Excellent D1 prospect!

MOC-FV is home to Draeden Punt 6-6 (230) DE/Edge a Kansas University commit. Punt is currently ranked as the #5 prospect in Iowa in the 2026 class by 247 Sports. Punt is coming off a (28.5) tackle season to go along with (9.5) TFL. In watching HUDL film, Punt shows good lateral movement and has some nice moves inside to assist with his penetration to the QB. The wingspan that Punt has is very disruptive in the passing game and I fully expect him to attract double teams this fall as he really impacts the game coming off the edge. Punt is a guy that offenses need to identify in order to have success moving the football. Follow Punt on X: @draeden_punt
