Continue ReadingThere are seniors that play like underclassmen, and then there are underclassmen that play like seniors. Here are a few of those young bucks that are taking Michigan by storm, and making a case for themselves as some of the top players in the state. Many of these players stories have everything to do with the player making the program, as opposed to the other way around, showing true leadership and responsibility for their individual success.
Bryce Eliuk, 6’1, 225, Linden
Eliuk jumps off the screen as a player that can move really well, and has outstanding athleticism. He’s got good size for a backer that can play multiple roles on a defense, including rushing the passer or dropping in coverage. His quickness really allows him to gain a full head of steam and make opposing ball carriers pay with huge blows to their body. He consistently gets off blocks very well and makes plays, causing pain for opposing teams offensive tactics.
Jameel Croft Jr., 6’1, 165, Detroit King
Detroit King is no stranger in putting top prospects out in the world, and will have former players get drafted next week at the NFL draft as well. Croft is next in line, for so many reasons. He has the look of an elite prospect, and is without a doubt an absolute game changer. His speed and quickness is unmatched at the high school level, and is a dangerous threat in the short and long game as a receiver. He looks a little bit like former King star Ambry Thomas, given his frame and speed combination. He’s extremely fluid and smooth in his movements, and has a chance to be a heavily recruited player going forward.
Javen Sewell Javen Sewell 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH Cass Tech | 2023 State MI , 5’8, 155, Cass Tech
As a rising junior, Sewell already has elite speed and athleticism, and a focal point of the Cass Tech offense. He’s unique in his game, and acts as a swiss army knife type of player on offense, carrying the ball out of the backfield, and playing multiple positions at receiver. He’s not the biggest in size, but it’s more than cancelled out with his playmaking ability, as he makes plays at the corner spot, and on offense consistently.
Brennan Parachek Brennan Parachek 6'5" | 225 lbs | TE Dexter | 2023 State MI , 6’6, 240, Dexter
Parachek had an outstanding season as a sophomore, garnering 45 catches for over 500 yards and 6 touchdowns for Dexter, and first team all conference honors. He will be an elite prospect, as he’s a mammoth of a man, and also has good speed and good fluidity in the way he moves. Some tight ends struggle because they don’t have a natural ability as a pass catcher, but Parachek is not one of those players. He even lines up on the outside at times, and displays very good footwork to beat defensive backs off the line of scrimmage.
