Analysis: Muskegon fell to River Rouge in last year’s state finals, but they certainly have the talent coming back that can help them reach Ford Field once again. Senior Amari CrowleyAmariCrowley6'0" | WRMuskegon | 2021StateMI will be the man under center, but he is an outstanding athlete that can be used all over the field. Senior Dedrick Fondren II and junior Dominic Sugin form a solid backfield and players like Jamarrius Dickerson, Tayvid ElmoreTayvidElmore6'1" | OLMuskegon | 2021MI and Duane AndersonDuaneAnderson6'2" | OLMuskegon | 2022StateMI will pave the way up front. The Big Reds return one of the top safety tandems in the state in Tyreese OakesTyreeseOakes5'11" | DBMuskegon | 2021StateMI and Tyreese OakesTyreeseOakes5'11" | DBMuskegon | 2021StateMI | DB | 2021 Julius SimsJuliusSims6'2" | DBMuskegon | 2021StateMI | DB | 2021 Amari CrowleyAmariCrowley6'0" | WRMuskegon | 2021StateMI | QB/WR | 2021 Demetrius WalkerDemetriusWalker6'5" | DLMuskegon | 2022StateMI | DL | 2022 Myles WaltonMylesWalton5'11" | DBMuskegon | 2022StateMI | DB | 2022 Dedrick Fondren II | RB | 2021 Jamarrius Dickerson | OL | 2022 Tayvid ElmoreTayvidElmore6'1" | OLMuskegon | 2021MI | OL | 2021 Duane AndersonDuaneAnderson6'2" | OLMuskegon | 2022StateMI | OL | 2022 Dominic Sugin | RB | 2022 Analysis: Muskegon fell to River Rouge in last year’s state finals, but they certainly have the talent coming back that can help them reach Ford Field once again.

The best defensive talent on Muskegon’s roster may be up front as junior Demetrius WalkerDemetriusWalker6'5" | DLMuskegon | 2022StateMI has garnered plenty of Power 5 interest. Muskegon is a big-time program that returns a ton of talent on both sides of the ball, which should be enough to get them another shot at the state title.
