Ok now I really don’t get the rhinoceros. He doesn’t seem like a power back at that size.
State football: Dean runs for 6 TDs as Lakeville South dethrones Maple Grove
Griffen Dean couldn’t have picked a much better time to have a career night.

6 TD's and 292 yards rushing in playoff win against defending state champion! WOW!
He’s fast and can catch so will be threat as RB. Didn’t see him break a ton of tackles and it’s a wing-t offense he was in but I overall thinks he’s talented.

hard-nosed
may end up in the slot.
Hard saying but it’s a RB in our class. Get some OL and one more DL then maybe a QB and this class is how you want it filled out.

Several people have posted on here defense is done Olson was the last piece everything else will be offense
I think at this point you get the best players and athletes you can. Some might end up on the other side of the ball. From Garrett Graves to Journey Grimsrud and way beyond that there have been a bunch of Griz that have come and found a better fit changing positions and excelled.

This is a good recruit. Whoever found this kid deserves high praise. Lakeville North was horseshit last year but this kid stands out as the best player on the field. Lakeville is also one of the fastest growing areas in the Twin Cities and has a significant number of Vikings coaches, support staff, and players since the Vikings moved their practice facility to Eagan which is just up 35 from Lakeville.
Just judging off that hudl tape, he’s fast and not afraid of contact. Has a good fast twitch and cut off the plant. He may not break a ton of tackles, but was explosive and got a lot of YAC and made defenders work or pay for tackling him. Biggest knock is how high he runs. I like what I saw.
Also, they ran their offense out of wishbone and traditional T sets. QB was rarely involved but we were only looking at #12 highlights. This was not a +1 wing-t triple option. Still plenty of deception and overloading the defense. He often had many yards before first contact
