The high school football prospects for the state of Michigan's class of 2023 is off-the-charts good. It's truly an embarrassment of riches when one looks at the level of the Great Lakes State's class of 2023 high school football talent. Every player on this early list of top prep gridiron prospects is a Division I college football recruit. I will be adding more 2023 players (and current college offers for players) in the coming days/weeks, but I figured I would start with the top 84 in the Great Lakes State.
