Jeremiah Beasley Jeremiah Beasley 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Belleville | 2024 State MI – LB – Belleville
A ferocious tackle with a lot to like about his big frame, Beasley has some serious potential for the next level. Beasley’s processing skills remind me of Utah’s Devin Lloyd, as he’s able to read the play and react without hesitation. There’s a lot to like about his lateral agility and speed when pursuing the ball carrier. Combined with his closing quickness, there isn’t much you can do to get around Beasley in the run game. A tremendous linebacker with huge upside. The sky’s the limit for this player.
Rayshaun Hester Rayshaun Hester 5'11" | 160 lbs | ATH Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI – DB – Chippewa Valley
The best way to describe Hester’s game in coverage is ball magnet. He simply finds the football and makes a play on it. His ability to make a break on the football is spurred by his foot speed and agility. Hester’s can make big hits and sound tackles that could allow him to play safety at the next level, but cornerback allows him to do a little bit of everything he does well, including playing lockdown coverage.
CJ Carr

MI
– QB – Saline
A nationally recognized recruit after an outstanding sophomore season, Carr has all the traits you want to look for in a potential college quarterback. Arm strength is apparent on every throw he makes, with the ability to drive the ball and allow his receivers to run under it. The touch on his throws is what stands out most in his sophomore season, being able to locate targets down the field and get it to them. Carr’s scrambling ability is a lot of fun to watch on tape, as he can keep his eyes down the field and get a feel for who’s pursuing him. That ability to avoid the pass rush that can help future college quarterbacks have success at the next level. Another player with an unlimited ceiling and a lot of tools to work with.
KeWaun Farnum

Mona Shores | 2023

MI
– ATH – Mona Shores
The word ‘freak’ doesn’t get passed around lightly, as it describes an athlete that has the athleticism to take over football games. That’s why this 2022 Freaks List candidate has the potential to be so special. Farnum is twitchy as a ball carrier and is nearly impossible to tackle. That twitchiness carries over to the defensive side of the ball and as a punt returner. Farnum does an excellent job of making plays on the football as a cornerback. His press coverage allows him to follow the receiver down the field and his impressive instincts show when the ball is thrown. As a senior, it will be interesting to see how Farnum’s role could expand. He could be hard to take off of the field in 2022.
