Continue ReadingThe Updated Rankings have dropped, and with that is a slightly tweaked Top 10! This list includes only the most ELITE athletes in Michigan, and looking back on every class, we almost always have a few from the Top 10 going pro. From one of the best QBs in the nation, freak of nature linemen, to lightning-quick still players, here’s the New Top 10!
Dante Moore Dante Moore 6’2″ | 210 lbs | QB Detroit King | 2023 State MI is the easy #1. He’s elite in nearly every QB category as a prolific passer, fundamental phenom, and pure athlete. Oregon got a good one, and I’m immensely excited to watch Dante play this year as well as down the road.
Jalen Thompson Jalen Thompson 6’3″ | 245 lbs | DL Cass Tech | 2023 State MI is a High School Football Freak and if he works hard enough, he could get himself on Feldman’s College Football Freaks List in a few years.rnThompson’s athleticism is amazing, strength is incredible, and IQ is great. Whatever College Program Thompson lands at is going to be extremely lucky.
Highlights
Helping defend Dante Moore Dante Moore 6’2″ | 210 lbs | QB Detroit King | 2023 State MI , Johnathan Slack Johnathan Slack 6’3″ | 260 lbs | OL Detroit King | 2023 State MI is next in line in a long history of Elite Detroit MLK Talent. At 6’4 280lbs, Slack is in my opinion the most polished offensive lineman in the state, and is the most college-ready. I expect him to be a cornerstone player at Michigan State in a few years.
Highlights
Our highest of many West Bloomfield players, Amir Herring Amir Herring 6’3″ | 255 lbs | OL West Bloomfield | 2023 State MI is an experienced 4-year starter who plays on a powerhouse program in the OAA Red, which means constant top-tier competition. A very polished run and pass blocker, quick hands, good balance, Amir Herring Amir Herring 6’3″ | 255 lbs | OL West Bloomfield | 2023 State MI is a great fit for the Maize and Blue next season!
Highlights
I love Semaj’s game. He’s the best receiver in the state, and plays the dynamic deep threat to a new level. Blazing speed, great RAC ability, and elite agility, Semaj Morgan is a perfect fit to college football.
Highlights
An Elite two-way player, Khamari Anderson Khamari Anderson 6’4″ | 225 lbs | ATH Cass Tech | 2023 State MI is the definition of all-around TE.
Consistently facing amazing competition, Khamari Anderson Khamari Anderson 6’4″ | 225 lbs | ATH Cass Tech | 2023 State MI runs clean routes and is able to get more RAC yardage than almost any TE in the state. He’s a powerful runner after the catch, and with more time in the weight room, can become a real bruiser.rnHe also does his fair share of blocking, and sports great technique doing so. Khamari Anderson Khamari Anderson 6’4″ | 225 lbs | ATH Cass Tech | 2023 State MI is undoubtedly the best TE in Michigan’s Class of 2023
Highlights
The best DB in the class, Amare Snowden Amare Snowden 6’4″ | 190 lbs | DB Roseville | 2023 State MI is a taller DB with similar measurements to Sauce Gardner, and better yet, Snowden is committed to Cincinnati.rnSnowden has elite reaction time, and his athleticism allows him to react extremely quickly to intercept a ball, breakup a pass, or punish a ball carrier. Knowing how Cinci develops their players, I have a great feeling about Snowden’s college potential.
Highlights
Another OAA Red Lineman, Cole Dellinger Cole Dellinger 6’4″ | 280 lbs | OL Clarkston | 2023 State MI is a punisher. He makes it looks easy violently shoving opposing linemen to the ground, maintaining great pad level and balance throughout. With a few more years of work, he should be ready to start against some of the best front 7’s in College Football playing in the Green and White.
Highlights
Cole Cabana Cole Cabana 6’0″ | 185 lbs | RB Dexter | 2023 State MI is a SPEED DEMON that has a ton of amazing RB fundamentals. In addition to his 10.55 100M, Cabana is extremely agile and has great cuts and balance after contact. Committed to Michigan, I can’t wait to cheer him on in a few years.
Highlights
A player that has been rising through the ranks, Dylan Senda Dylan Senda 6’5″ | 270 lbs | OL Divine Child | 2023 State MI is an amazing pickup for Northwestern. Being the tallest of the Top 10 Linemen, Senda arguably has the best body for a linemen, especially when we’re talking NFL. He’s a powerful interior offensive lineman that has a great future playing in the B1G 10.
Highlights
It’s going to be an incredible season, and I can’t wait to see where life takes these 10 athletes!
