There’s a new era beginning at Fargo South under head coach Teddy Critchley, and the Bruins will feature a revamped lineup filled with size, athleticism, and potential. One thing’s for certain—Drew Kessell will be right at the center of it all. Kessell is a future Division I athlete with the measurables to match. At 6’7” with length, strength, and explosive athletic ability, he has the tools to dominate. Expect Drew to be a consistent Double-Double threat and a matchup nightmare in the paint. Alongside Corbyn Follingstad Corbyn Follingstad 6'7" | PF/SF Fargo South | 2026 State ND and Abakar Miganoudji Abakar Miganoudji 6'5" | PF Fargo South | 2026 State ND , South’s frontcourt will be one of the biggest and most athletic in the state—and possibly among the best overall. Just how elite of an athlete is Kessell? His football offers from Michigan, Minnesota, and NDSU say plenty. The challenge for the Bruins will be finding chemistry, consistency, and defensive discipline under their new coach. But if they put it together, Kessell’s breakout could help power a turnaround season—and give South fans plenty to cheer about. Will the Bruins make a trip to State?
