Impact Player for Dakota: Senior QB/S Caden Moyer (6-foot-4, 175 pounds). Moyer will be asked to lead the Indians on both sides of the football and look for Moyer to draw recruiting looks and attention this coming summer and fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Dakota Indians: Dakota had a shot at a state playoff bid in 2019 but came up short in it's last two games of the regular season to Orangeville and Stockton to ned the year at 4-5. The Indians play in one of the toughest small enrollment conferences in the state (NCIC North) and will again need to fight for 9 weeks to have a state playoff spot. However, with 10 returning starters back from last season look for Dakota to again challenge for a state playoff spot.
