Last year, Michigan produced one of the nation's best quarterback prospects in Warren DeLaSalle's Shane Morris. Morris, who signed with the University of Michigan, is the latest in a long line of top-flight signal-callers to come out of the Great Lakes State. From old-timers like Earl Morrall (Muskegon) to modern players like Gary Danielson (Dearborn Divine Child) and Jim Harbaugh (Ann Arbor Pioneer) to current NFL quarterbacks Drew Stanton (Farmington Hills Harrison) and Kirk Cousins (Holland Christian), Michigan has a rich and talent-filled history of growing big-time college and pro football talent at the QB position. While the quarterback class of 2014 isn't one of Michigan's deepest in recent years, it is still loaded, especially at the top half, with Division I skill and talent. Here are the top 10 quarterback prospects for Michigan's class of 2014.
1. Chance Stewart-6-5, 215-Sturgis-Big Ten size and arm strength, plus terrific athlete (WMU)
2. Travis Smith-6-2, 200-Ithaca-Drew Brees-like, led Ithaca to two straight state titles (Toledo)
3. Tyler Wiegers-6-3, 205-Detroit Country Day-passed Yellowjackets to D-4 state final (Rutgers)
4. Sean Scullen-6-2, 205-Rochester Stoney Creek-Could play WR-S-LB at next level, 4.6
5. Matt Sokol-6-5, 215-Rochester Adams-tall, lanky, might convert to Div. I TE (MSU verbal)
6. Jalen Brooks-6-3, 185-Cadillac-game-breaking pass/run combo QB, one of Up North's best
7. Ryan Conklin-6-1, 185-Jackson County Parma Western-Jackson Cit/Pat All-Area last year
