The Big North is a league with a good amount of lesser-known talent. This league spans as East as Alpena and as West as Petoskey, covering huge ground in Michigan. This coming season, all four Big North teams have a few difference makers that are all on the rankings. <strong>Alpena (2-7 2021)</strong> A team headlined by QB [player_tooltip player_id="249503" first="Jake" last="Zann"], Alpena has the pieces to compete, but they all have to come together in a coherent way. Just about everything needs some improvement, but with some slight improvements, this team can be good. As for [player_tooltip player_id="249503" first="Jake" last="Zann"], his tape is phenomenal and I see a very high ceiling in him. <strong>Petoskey (3-6 2021)</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="249497" first="CJ" last="Hibbler"] is a great, underrated athlete that reminds me a ton of [player_tooltip player_id="188032" first="Eric" last="Christoff"] of De La Salle. In general, Petoskey is similar to Alpena in that if they just put a few things together, they’d be great. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that Petoskey is one fo the most beautiful places in Michigan! <strong>Gaylord (2-7 2021) </strong> Gaylord has a division 1 talent in <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15045837">[player_tooltip player_id="249498" first="Brady" last="Pretzlaff"]</a>, but the rest of the team has to play better on all fronts. This is a team that not many know about, and because of that, I found myself rooting for them a fair amount last season. Though in general, [player_tooltip player_id="249498" first="Brady" last="Pretzlaff"] is worth the price of admission alone. It’s rare that a program like Gaylord gets such an incredible talent! <strong>Cadillac (9-3 2021) </strong> A great team by all accounts, Cadillac is looking good heading into next season. They made a bit of a run this past season and made the State Championship in 2020, a run nobody could have predicted. <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10112351">[player_tooltip player_id="243471" first="Chris" last="Reinhold"] Jr.</a> headlines what will be a great team.
