#4 Cash Shaw Cash Shaw 5'11" | 150 lbs | RB Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI (#53 overall)
Chippewa Valley is one of the most talented programs in the state, and Cash Shaw Cash Shaw 5'11" | 150 lbs | RB Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI is an amazing athlete. Shaw has some beast mode moments. His vision and strength along with his athleticism allows him to be incredibly slippery, breaking tackles and taking off. Shaw could rise through the ranks quite a bit, but needs more offseason exposure + a great 2022 to do so.
#5 AJ Martel AJ Martel 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Mason | 2024 State MI (#69 overall)
Aside from a few game recaps, we couldn’t find much on Martel. But what was found, he has some incredible runs. His strength and balance are amazing, as he’s seen dragging multiple defenders while remaining balanced. Most notably, Martel was named an All-State honorable mention (MLive). With more film and some offseason work, Martel will rise in the rankings.
#6 Brody Johnson Brody Johnson 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB RP | 2024 State MI (#75 overall)
Johnson had a great year as he racked up 1060 yards and 8 touchdowns in the very difficult OK-Green. What stands out to be about Brody is how hard of a downhill runner he is. He doesn’t waste any time trying to get cute, he just finds the hole and sprints right through it, and before you know it, he’s off to the races. With a dedicated offseason, I expect him to move up in the ranks.
#7 Colbey Reed Colbey Reed 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Belleville | 2024 State MI (87 overall)
Reed is a great back for Belleville that I will be shocked if he doesn’t shoot up the rankings in the coming years. Alongside a young, elite core, Reed is an amazing all-around back with one of the highest ceilings in the class. When his initial hole closes, he’s able to make a few cuts and gain positive yardage, with sometimes being able to break big. I’m very eager to see what Reed and Belleville are able to accomplish in 2022.
