High school football is still going on in the state of Michigan. The top game by far today was West Bloomfield Vs. Belleville as it featured many talented players who will be playing college football at the next level. I highlight a few of those players who played well today.
[player_tooltip player_id="77229" first="Donovan" last="Edwards"] 5’11 190 RB ’21 West Bloomfield
The first and most obvious one is [player_tooltip player_id="77229" first="Donovan" last="Edwards"]. The Michigan commit was the best player on the field today. He was unstoppable as he scored 3 touchdowns and was very hard to bring down.
[player_tooltip player_id="30147" first="Deshaun" last="Lee"] 5’10 160 DB ’22 Belleville
The junior defensive back had a great game as he had an interception and several catches on offense and got many yards after the catch.
[player_tooltip player_id="29685" first="Alex" last="Short"] 6’4 220 QB ’21 West Bloomfield
Alex had a great game as he had a receiving touchdown on a flea flicker trick play and also threw a touchdown pass in Overtime. He is a big QB who is a good runner and very tough to bring down. He remained calm in some very difficult situations and made the right decisions.
[player_tooltip player_id="29542" first="Jamari" last="Buddin"] 6’3 205 LB ’21 Belleville
The Penn State commit had a huge hit early on and had several tackles throughout the day.
[player_tooltip player_id="30133" first="Dillon" last="Tatum"] 5’11 180 RB ’22 West Bloomfield
Dillon has offers from almost everywhere in the country and showed why he has all those offers today. He had several nice runs and also had an interception on defense.
[player_tooltip player_id="79591" first="Cameron" last="Jones"] 5’9 200 RB ’21 Belleville
I did not know who Cameron was before the game, he made sure I knew his name by the time the game was over. He had several nice runs as he scored 3 touchdowns and gave Belleville hope when the passing attack they are known for wasn’t working.
[player_tooltip player_id="30028" first="Jaden" last="Green"] 6’0 270 DT/OG ’21 West Bloomfield
He had a great game blocking an Alabama commit on offense and had a sack and many tackles on defense. He definitely made a name for himself today.
[player_tooltip player_id="86382" first="Niles" last="King"] 6’5 230 DE ’21 West Bloomfield
The Grand Valley State commit deflected a pass with his long arms that ended up getting intercepted. He also had several plays in the backfield and brought the pressure on the final play of the game which won the game for West Bloomfield
[player_tooltip player_id="30160" first="Jeremiah" last="Caldwell"] 6’3 175 WR ’22 Belleville
The junior wide receiver had a great game as he had multiple catches and a touchdown in a big moment which gave Belleville the lead at the time. He also had good coverage throughout the day at the cornerback position.
Semaj Morgan 5’10 175 WR ’23 West Bloomfield
The sophomore had a huge game as he had a very nice throw on a flea flicker trick play that resulted in a touchdown. He also had a huge catch that put them in great field position with 3 minutes left in the game. The sophomore stepped up big today.
[player_tooltip player_id="29646" first="Christian" last="Dhue-Reid"] 5’10 225 QB ’21 Belleville
The Michigan all time passing touchdown leader struggled early as he threw 2 interceptions early on but remained confident and ended up throwing 2 touchdowns to add on to his touchdown record list. He will forever be remembered in Michigan high school football history and had a great career as a 4 year varsity starter at Belleville high school.
[player_tooltip player_id="29612" first="Darrell" last="Johnson"] 5’8 160 WR ’21 Belleville
The Grand Valley State commit had a nice touchdown in overtime running the slot fade.
Tyree Lockett 5’11 165 WR ’22 Belleville
The junior had a nice toe tap catch which came at the perfect time as Belleville was struggling. He also had multiple plays where he caused the defender to commit a pass interference penalty. His older brother plays at Michigan State and he is one to look out for in the future.
[player_tooltip player_id="77685" first="Jordan" last="Hoskins"] 6’0 205 LB ’21 West Bloomfield
The senior Missouri State commit made sure he wasn’t turning in his pads today. He played lights out today and is the captain of this West Bloomfield defense. He had an interception and multiple tackles. He plays so fast and is so instinctive, Missouri State is getting a steal.
[player_tooltip player_id="77823" first="Travis" last="Reece"] 6’3 220 LB ’21 West Bloomfield
The senior linebacker who I had on my best uncommitted linebackers list had a great game today. He had several tackles and they were big ones. It really is scary for the opposing team going up against this linebacker duo.
[player_tooltip player_id="30174" first="Cameron" last="Dyson"] 6’3 190 LB ’22 Belleville
The junior linebacker had several tackles and a forced fumble. He has the size of a kid who is going to play at the next level but still does not have any offers. I expect that to change soon as he has been great this season and during Belleville’s playoff run.
[player_tooltip player_id="29618" first="Gavin" last="Hardeman"] 6’2 155 DB ’21 West Bloomfield
The Air Force commit had several nice tackles many of which were impressive open field tackles against the speedy offensive threats of Belleville.
[player_tooltip player_id="29571" first="Maxwell" last="Hairston"] 6’0 185 DB ’21 West Bloomfield
Last but not least the senior Kentucky commit who didn’t allow a catch all day and had the final touchdown for West Bloomfield in overtime.
