Michigan's 2017 All-State Team (and more)

Welp, the 2017 high school football season is in the books and it's time to unveil my All-State postseason teams. The previous blogs have highlighted my All-Region squads for 10 areas throughout the state of Michigan. Now, I'll put together the best team, the first-team, the All-State team for the 2017 season in Michigan, plus a few other unique squads. If I was going up against another state's top players, this is the starting team I'd take on the field with me (after hopefully a few weeks practice). Here is the 2017 Michigan All-State high school football squad --
