If a college recruiter is searching for a talented high school tight end who will not only excel at the collegiate level, but also develop into an NFL prospect then Michigan, historically, is the place to visit. Over the years, there have been so many quality tight ends from the state of Michigan that listing them here would take up too much space and time. From surefire future Hall-of-Famer Detroit Central's Antonio Gates to the AFL's greatest tight end Redford St. Mary's Fred Arbanas to Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame member East Detroit's Ron Kramer to current Detroit Lion Tony Scheffler from Chelsea, the state of Michigan has produced some of the game's best at the position. In addition, Michiganders and former All-Pros Pete Metzelaars from Portage and Ypsilanti's Rodney Holman are No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in games played by a tight end in NFL history.
This year's crop of Michigan prep tight ends is littered with Division I college talent. From No. 1 to No. 10, the skill level for this season's best tight end prospects is second to none. Here are the top 10 Michigan tight end recruits for 2012 --
