Michigan's top 10 running backs for the class of 2016

The state of Michigan has produced some of football's greatest running backs. From Heisman Trophy winners Pete Dawkins (1958, Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook, Army) and Mark Ingram Jr. (2009, Flint Southwestern, Alabama, NFL) to Detroit Public School League legends Marion Barber (Detroit Chadsey, Minnesota, NFL), Harlan Huckleby (Detroit Cass Tech, U-M, NFL) and John "Frenchy" Fuqua (Detroit Eastern, Morgan State, NFL) to Tyrone Wheatley (Dearborn Heights Robichaud, U-M, NFL and the best HS player I've ever seen compete in person) to Hall-of-Famer Jerome Bettis (Detroit Mackenzie, Notre Dame, NFL) the Great Lakes State has produced its fair share of big-time running back performers throughout the decades.


Add to that impressive list current NFL running backs Joique Bell (Benton Harbor, Wayne State, Detroit Lions), Jonas Gray (Detroit Country Day, Notre Dame, New England Patriots), George Winn (U-D Jesuit, Cincinnati, Detroit Lions), Glenn Winston (Detroit Denby, Northwood University, Cleveland Browns), Edwin Baker (Oak Park, MSU, New Orleans Saints), Zurlon Tipton (Sterling Heights Parkway Christian, CMU, Indianapolis Colts), recently drafted Jeremy Langford (Westland John Glenn, MSU, Chicago Bears) and Ingram (Flint Southwestern, Alabama, New Orleans Saints) and one can see quite clearly Michigan is one of the country's best at developing running back talent.




As in year's past, Michigan's class of 2016 is loaded with Division I college football running back prospects. Here are Michigan's top 10 running back recruits for the class of 2016 (all are D-I recruits)--


1. Matt Falcon-6-1, 215-Southfield-Combines speed, with power. Total package. 4.4 40 speed. Verbal to U-M.
2. Martell Pettaway-5-9, 205-Detroit King-Speed and quick feet. I think a bit similar to recent Detroit Lions draft pick Ameer Abdullah (Nebraska). 4.5 40. Iowa and MSU  offers. Verbal to West Virginia.
3. Ba Blamo-6-0, 205-Grand Ledge-Could be a standout at LB at the next level, as well. One of state's top sprinters (10.9 100 meters) and wrestlers. 4.4 40. Has brute power and raw talent. Is physical and runs angry. Not well known, but a bonafide D-I talent. One of the Lansing area's best.
4. Nolan Eriksen-5-9, 195-Clarkston-Led Wolves to Division 1 state championship last season. Game-breaker and ankle-breaker with shifty, quick moves and speed. 4.4 40. Rushed for 1,700 yds. and 26 TDs last year.
5. Emanuel Jackson-6-0, 180-Novi-One of the most versatile players in Michigan. Could play RB, WR, DB at the next level. Rushed for 1,061 yds. and 16 TDs, caught 43 passes for 624 yds. and 5 TDs, plus had 2 kickoff returns for TDs a season ago. Detroit News first team All-Metro North. Verbal to WMU.
6. Dre'on Kemp-5-10, 185-Battle Creek Lakeview-Rushed for 1,512 yds. and 22 TDs last season. 4.5 speed. Battle Creek Enquirer Dream Team. No. 2-ranked recruit in the Cereal City behind LB Brandon Randle (6-2, 215, Battle Creek Central).
7. Trent Stone-5-11, 190-Holt-Rushed for 1,642 yds. and 21 TDs, including 7 TDs in one game last season (one off the state record). Selected to Lansing State Journal Dream Team.
8. Monterio Smith-5-10, 190-Comstock Park-Grand Rapids area standout. Threat running and receiving. Rushed for 1,303 yds. and 13 TDs and had 35 rec. for 506 yds, and 5 TDs last year. Tons of speed. Named to Grand Rapids All-North squad.
9. Corey Pryor II-5-11, 180-Jackson-Top prospect on either side of the football at RB or DB. Jackson Citizen-Patriot Dream Team pick. 4.4 speed. Has run 22.1 200 meters and 14.6 110-meter hurdles. Father Corey played RB at MSU in late 1980s.

Verbal to Iowa; Austin Petrie-5-10, 210-Livonia Stevenson-Power runner with break-away speed. 4.5 40. Also a hard-hitting strong safety prospect. Detroit News All-Metro West selection.


Other top running back prospects- Isaiah Miller-5-10, 185-Edwardsburg (Detroit Free Press Division 4 All-State, rushed for 1,727 yds. and 26 TDs last year), Brandon Adams-5-11, 185-Orchard Lake St. Mary's (returning starter for D-3 state champions, also talented receiver and kicker, Detroit News All-Metro North pick), D.J. Jones-6-2, 240-Hillsdale, Steve Linton-5-8, 165-St. Johns (4.4 40, 22.2 200 meters, 48.9 400-meter run, track/football standout for St. Johns, 2015 state champion in 400-meter run), Hulas Givan-5-10, 205-Saginaw Arthur Hill, Joey Clifford-6-1, 220-Brighton (4.6 40), Kyle Brunson-6-1, 205-Farmington, Quentin Taylor-6-2, 210-New Lothrop (power runner, also talented LB prospect, Div. 7-8 All-State), Reid Burton-6-2, 220-East Lansing, Michael Marston-6-0, 195-Lapeer (Flint Journal Dream Team, rushed for 1,506 yds. and 21 TDs last season).

Michigan's top 10 wide receivers for the class of 2016

With three of the all-time top 30 in receptions in NFL history hailing from the state of Michigan (No. 13 Derrick Mason, MSU, Detroit Mumford; No. 16 Muhsin Muhammad, MSU, Lansing Waverly; No. 26 Andre Rison, MSU, Flint Northwestern), the Great Lakes State is routinely one of the country's best when it comes to cultivating and developing big-time Division I college football talent at the wide receiver position.


With players such as U-M recruit Brian Cole (6-2, 210, 4.3 40) of Saginaw Heritage, WMU signee Anton Curtis (6-3, 195, 4.5) of Detroit East English Village, CMU recruit Rayshawn Wilborn (6-4, 215, 4.5) out of Lansing Sexton and U-M recruit Grant Perry (6-0, 185, 4.4) of Birmingham Brother Rice leading last season's wide receiver group, the class of 2015 had some of Michigan's best receiver prospects in years. Add in CMU QB recruit (and All-State basketball player, Class D Player of the Year and a high D-I recruit in hoops) Brandon Childress (6-3, 195) out of Baldwin, a small northern Michigan high school, who I believe, if he isn't quarterbacking the Chippewas someday, could become an All-American-type level receiver at the next level, and the Great Lakes State was absolutely stacked at the wideout position last year.


For Michigan's class of 2016, the riches at the receiver position just keep pouring out. Incredibly, this season's group of receivers, from top to bottom and pound-for-pound, might be the state's best in years, if that's even conceivable, considering the depth of top-flight talent Michigan has produced at the position throughout recent seasons. That being said, here are the top 10 wide receivers for the class of 2016 in Michigan. I think it goes without saying each player is a high Division I college football talent.


Top 10 wide receivers for Michigan's class of 2016 --


1. Donnie Corley-6-2, 190-Detroit King-No. 6 overall player in Michigan, caught 62 passes for 1,100 yds. and 16 TDs last year. Also a talented CB, had 11 ints., seven ints. returned for TDs and 38 tackles. MSU, U-M, Notre Dame, OSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, LSU a few of the schools who have offered.
2. Jalen Martin-6-3, 200-Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy-Top flight basketball recruit, unbelievable athlete, speed, size, leaping ability. MSU, U-M recruiting. WMU, EMU already offered.
3. Dez Fitzpatrick-6-3, 190-Waterford Mott-Silky smooth receiver. U-M, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wake Forest all offered. Verbal to Louisville.
4. Kaleb Perry-6-2, 180-Mount Pleasant-Another D-I level basketball recruit, premier athlete, one of state's top high jumpers. Nightmare for defensive backs to cover -- can outrun, out jump and out-athlete most, if not all, DBs assigned to cover him. 36 rec., 900 yds, 9 TDs a year ago. Verbal to WMU. MSU, U-M also recruited.
5. Daryn Snow-6-3, 190-Portage Northern-One of my top sleepers in Michigan. In a recurring theme, Snow is a talented hoops player (school's leading scorer as soph.). Last season caught 48 passes for 617 yards and 8 TDs. With great size, another match-up problem for opposing DBs. Flying a bit under the radar at the moment, but a legit D-I Big Ten-level wide receiver prospect. Where are Indiana, Purdue, Iowa, Illinois, etc. on this guy?
6. Bailey Edwards-6-2, 185-Chelsea-Ann Arbor All-Area last season, 25 rec., 629 yds., 9 TDs, 4.4 40, little brother of WR Braylon (Harper Wood Bishop Gallagher, U-M, NFL) and RB Berkley (Chelsea, Minnesota). Father Stan played at Detroit Kettering, U-M and the NFL as RB. Minnesota offer. Wisconsin, Purdue also recruiting.
7. Trishton Jackson-6-3, 185-West Bloomfield-Detroit News All-Metro pick as a basketball player this past season. D-I prospect in hoops (varsity starter as frosh). Explosive athlete. Has started at QB since freshman year for West Bloomfield. Threw for over 2,000 yds. and rushed for over 1,000 yds. last season. Could play either QB or WR at next level. One of those freak athletes that can do it all. Verbal to MSU.
8. Simeon Kemp-6-0, 175-Flint Hamady-Flint Journal Dream Team, 35 rec., 1,080 yds., 14 TDs, 2 KO return TDs, 4.4 40. Another player not getting as much publicity statewide or nationally as he deserves. Electric performer on the football field. Small school, big-time talent.
9. Gabe Steed-6-1, 175-Lowell-Maybe most exciting player for the state power Red Arrows since "Mr. Football" Mark Catlin in the early 2000s. Caught 34 passes for 818 yards and 10 TDs a year ago.
10. (tie) Mike Robb-6-6, 200-Midland Dow-Saginaw News Dream Teamer, 47 rec., 606 yds., 9 TDs; Zach Kohn-6-3, 180-Gibraltar Carlson-Detroit Free Press first team All-West, 42 rec., 575 yds., 8 TDs.


Other top wide receivers for Michigan's class of 2016 -- Lindrell Mitchell-5-9, 170-Detroit East English Village (Detroit News All-Metro Detroit), Kobe Burse-6-2, 190-Muskegon Mona Shores (Muskegon Chronicle Dream Team, two-way starter for D-2 state runner-up, verbal to Miami (OH)), Rodney Graves-6-2, 180-Detroit Cody (Big Ten-type talent, runs 4.4 40 and 22.2 200 meters, also shutdown-type cornerback on defense, Purdue, Indiana, Maryland, etc. where are you on this guy?), Tony Palmer-6-0, 180-Lansing Catholic Central (Lansing State Journal Dream Team, starter for D-5 state runner-up), Adam Farah-6-2, 185-Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern (Verbal to Air Force), Connor Nemmers-6-2, 190-Grand Rapids West Catholic (41 rec., 748 yds., 9 TDs for D-5 state champions, Grand Rapids All-North), Marcel Paul-6-1, 175-Detroit Cass Tech (4.4 40, verbal to Cincinnati), Chris Cartier-6-2, 175-Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes (Detroit News Div. 7-8 All-State), Cooper Cecchini-6-1, 175-Hudsonville (30 rec., 492 yds., 5 TDs, Grand Rapids All-West), Matt Sexton-5-11, 170-Clinton (Verbal to EMU), Dylan Otolski-6-1, 180-Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central (38 rec., 729 yds., 7 TDs, Grand Rapids All-East), Gourney Sloan-6-0, 180-East Grand Rapids, Luke DeLong-6-3, 185-Midland, Cortez Chisolm-6-0, 170-Detroit Osborn, Jeb Palka-5-11, 170-Saline (77 rec., 980 yds., 9 TDs for D-1 state runner-up), Jacob Lefevre-6-2, 200-Jackson County Parma Western (Jackson Citizen-Patriot Dream Team, AP Div. 3-4 All-State, 42, rec., 808 yds., 12 TDs), Myles Charley-6-0, 170-Warren DeLaSalle (starter for defending D-2 state champions), Tamarion Johnson-6-4, 195-Southfield Bradford Academy (Verbal to Miami (OH)), Wyatt Plate-5-10, 170-Jackson Lumen Christi (4.3 40, verbal to Ball State), Tyrone Lyte-5-11, 175-Southfield, Chad Gailliard-6-4, 190-Dearborn Edsel Ford, Alex Bock-6-0, 195-Detroit Catholic Central (also top DB prospect, three-year starter at national powerhouse program), James Cooper III-6-3, 185-Muskegon Oakridge, Spence DeMull-6-3, 180-Ithaca (Lansing State Journal Dream Team, 66 rec., 1,193 yds., 16 TDs for  D-6 state runner-up).

Michigan's top 10 defensive linemen for 2016 class

For anyone who checks out this blog, one would know I consider the big fellas in the trenches on both sides of the line of scrimmage as the most important players on the football field. Yesterday, I listed the top offensive linemen in the state for the class of 2016, so today I'll list my top 10 defensive linemen in Michigan for '16.


As usual, defensive line talent in Michigan is off-the-charts good. If a college coach is looking for pass rush help, the Great Lakes State is a must stop this upcoming season. Michigan is loaded with long, lanky, quick defensive ends with pass rush abilities this year. What's intriguing, however, about this season's class of D-line prospects, is the potential of most of the DE prospects to add substantial weight to their frames and bulk up and be combo-type linemen who can switch from outside to inside and vice-versa at the next level. Add to those prospects, an impressive group of pure defensive tackles and space-eaters up front, and a college coach has all he would need to form a dominating D-line right here in the Great Lakes State.


Top 10 defensive linemen for Michigan's class of 2016 --


1. Lawrence Gordon-6-6, 255-DE-Saginaw Arthur Hill-Unlimited potential. State's next Robaire Smith (Flint Northern, MSU, 11-year NFL career)?
2. Michael Onwenu-6-2, 315-DT-Detroit Cass Tech-Alabama, Ohio State, Miami (Fla.) all offered. Verbal to U-M.
3. Khalid Kareem-6-4, 250-DE-DT-Farmington Hills Harrison-Ohio State, MSU, U-M, Northwestern, Notre Dame all offered. Had 18 sacks last season. Verbal to Alabama.
4. Mark Brooks-6-7, 250-DE-Portland-Huge upside. I see him possibly being a Tyler Hoover (Novi, 6-7, 295 former starting DT for MSU, Rose Bowl champ, currently with NFL's Indianapolis Colts)-type player at the next level eventually. Verbal to WMU.
5. Adetokunbo Ogundeji-6-5, 225-DE-Walled Lake Central-Size, speed, length make Ogundeji a top tier D-I prospect. Oregon, Cal offered. Verbal to Notre Dame.
6. Patrick Mayrand-6-4, 280-DT-Dexter- Big Ten size, with athletic ability. One of the Ann Arbor area's top college prospects.
7. Darrick Gibson-6-2, 305-DT-Chippewa Valley (transfer from Clintondale)- One of the best pure defensive tackle/nose guards in the state. Suburban Detroit potential star at next level. 4.9 40. Best D-line prospect from Clintondale since 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers sixth round draft pick L.T. Walton (6-5, 320, DT, CMU).
8. Gabe Bauman-6-3, 245-DE-Rockford-Grand Rapids area stud from top flight program.
9. Chauncey Golston-6-6, 240-DE-Detroit East English Village-Similar to Arthur Hill's Gordon with huge wingspan and crazy athleticism. Runs 4.7 40. Verbal to Iowa.
10. Dan Perry-6-2, 265-DT-Lapeer-Big time talent. Division 1 (Michigan's large school division) heavyweight state champion wrestler this past winter. Three-year starter on D-line. I project him to 6-2, 295-305 range at next level, with great balance, feet, hands.


--Other top defensive line prospects (all D-I at some level) for Michigan's class of 2016 - Austin Simpson-6-2, 295-DT-Livonia Churchill (4.9 40), Brayton Rzepka-6-5, 270-DT-Coldwater (also top baseball prospect as P-1B), Matthew Lloyd-6-3, 285-DT-NG-Grand Ledge (also one of Michigan's best wrestlers, finished fourth in state as heavyweight last season), Malcolm Strickland-6-4, 250-DE-DT-Belleville, Ronathan Elmore-6-4, 230-DE-Belleville (teams with Malcolm Strickland to form dynamic duo for Tigers), Colin Emmendorfer-6-4, 240-DE-Flushing, Zach VanValkenburg-6-4, 235-DE-Zeeland West (three-year starter, started as soph. on D-3 state title team), Jonathan Brys-6-6, 245-DE-Jackson Lumen Christi (EMU offer, also talented TE), Eyioma Uwozunke-6-5, 255-DE-Southfield Lathrup (from same school as EMU, Detroit Lions starting DE Jason Jones), Dylan Pasquali-6-4, 285-DT-Trenton, Kamar Graves-6-4, 240-DE-Detroit Douglass (also talented TE, Illinois offer), Christian Boyd-6-2, 270-DT-Muskegon Mona Shores (returning starter for D-2 state runner-up), Tyler Shreve-6-4, 255-DE-Walled Lake Western, Carl Myers-6-3, 245-DE-Grand Rapids West Catholic (returning two-way starter for D-5 state champions), Tim Stevens-6-2, 265-DT-Temperance Bedford, Ian McInnis-6-2, 280-DT-Munising (U.P. Dream Team, monster in trenches, returning starter for D-8 state runner-up), Brian Mack-6-3, 225-DE-Grosse Pointe South (All-Detroit Metro East), Brendon Bott-6-4, 255-DT-Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills (All-Grand Rapids North), Kyle Soderberg-6-2, 235-DE-Crystal Falls Forest Park (U.P. Dream Team selection), Blake Roe-6-2, 290-DT-Haslett, Alvin Clemons-6-1, 265-DT-Detroit Cass Tech, Jaylen Browder-6-5, 265-DT-Saginaw Arthur Hill, Britt Swaenepoel-6-2, 280-DT-Napoleon (Jackson Citizen-Patriot Dream Team), Nathan Fox-6-3, 240-DT-Johannesburg-Lewiston (dominant D-lineman "Up North," plus a talented kicker), Jean Paul Nkolo-6-3, 220-DE-East Kentwood, Michael Tabor-6-4, 285-DT-Holland, Jake Tumele-6-3, 230-DE-Muskegon Orchard View (runs 4.8 40), Dylan Swanson-6-4, 270-DT-Detroit King, Andy Maschke-6-2, 275-DT-Hartland, Leon Page-6-3, 220-DE-Detroit King (Verbal to CMU), Eldrick Matthews-6-4, 280-DE-Detroit Cass Tech, Blake Brady-6-2, 220-DE-Macomb Dakota, Wallace Hall-6-4, 250-DT-Ypsilanti, Matt Jelinek-6-4, 230-DE-Suttons Bay (4.7 40, returned fumble 33 yards for TD last year, another "Up North" lineman who will cause havoc all season long), Kevin Koenig-6-4, 235-DE-Laingsburg (one of my top sleepers in Michigan, Division 4 state runner-up wrestler at 215, also plays QB for Laingsburg, great all-around athlete from small school near Lansing).

Top 10 offensive line prospects for Michigan's class of 2016

Only four times in the history of the NFL draft has an offensive lineman been selected as the No. 1 overall pick. Two of those four players are native Michiganders. In 2008, Lapeer East's Jake Long (Michigan) was chosen as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins, while Rochester Stoney Creek's Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) was selected No. 1 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. The other two O-linemen picked No. 1 overall in the draft were USC's Ron Yary (California) in 1968 by the Minnesota Vikings and Ohio State's Orlando Pace (Ohio) in 1997 by the St. Louis Rams.


My point is, if history is any indication, the state of Michigan is one of the top states in the country when it comes to churning out top quality offensive linemen. The class of 2016 is no different -- it's chock full of high level Division I college football talent. Is there another future NFL No. 1 overall draft pick in the following group? I guess only time will tell -- though out of any state in the Union (if history is used as a measurement), Michigan appears to be the place to look/recruit for the next future NFL No. 1-er at the offensive line position.


Here are the top 10 offensive line prospects for Michigan's class of 2016 --


1. Michael Jordan-6-6, 280-OT-Plymouth-Notre Dame, MSU, U-M all offered. Verbal to Ohio State.
2. Thiyo Lukusa-6-5, 300-OT-Traverse City West (decided to transfer to high school in New Jersey for senior season)-Wisconsin, Georgia, Tennessee, Nebraska, OSU, U-M all offered. Verbal to MSU.
3.  Juanye Johnson-6-4, 285-OT-Muskegon-MSU, U-M recruiting. Powerful drive blocker for state powerhouse program.

8. Muad Motan-6-4, 315-OT-OG-Ann Arbor Pioneer-Top O-lineman in Ann Arbor area. All-Area performer a year ago. Somewhat of a sleeper. Rugged run blocker.
