State Contender Profile: Sterling Heights Stevenson Titans

<b>Head Coach:</b> Justin Newcomb <strong>Division:</strong> 1 <strong>Conference:</strong> Macomb Area Conference – Red <strong>2019 Overall Record:</strong> 8-5 <strong>Returning Key Players:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="29539" first="Giovanni" last="El-Hadi"] | OL | 2021 <em>(Michigan commit)</em> [player_tooltip player_id="30150" first="Jordan" last="Ramsey"] | RB | 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="30155" first="Jordan" last="Kwiatkowski"] | LB | 2022 Biagio Madonna | QB | 2022 Tommy Houston | WR | 2021 Tony Shumate | WR/DB | 2021 Cameron Wilson | DL | 2022 Dylan Kleinedler | WR/DB | 2021 John Tate III | RB | 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="30344" first="Tyler" last="White"] | DB/RB | 2023 <b>Analysis:</b> The Titans enter 2020 coming off a crushing loss in the 2019 state title game, but they return a young nucleus of talent that could help them get back to Ford Field. The team will be led by rising junior signal caller Biagio Madonna who I expect to have a breakout season. Madonna will be surrounded by plenty of talent, which starts up front with one of the top players in the state in [player_tooltip player_id="29539" first="Giovanni" last="El-Hadi"]. Junior stand-out running back [player_tooltip player_id="30150" first="Jordan" last="Ramsey"] and senior receivers Tommy Houston, Tony Shumate and Dylan Kleinedler form an impressive group of skill players that should make this offense tough to defend. On defense, junior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id="30155" first="Jordan" last="Kwiatkowski"] leads the unit, but keep an eye on junior defensive tackle Cameron Wilson and sophomore defensive back [player_tooltip player_id="30344" first="Tyler" last="White"]. This team will be relying on many young players, but they have that championship experience and return the star power to get another shot at the state title.
