Michigan Athletes heading to Grand Valley State

Signing day is long passed, and we now have solidified recruiting classes for each college program in the state. Today, we're going to take a look at one of the most storied D2 programs in the country, and that's Grand Valley State. Here are the Michigan Class of 2022 signees to the Lakers! <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WR [player_tooltip player_id="30148" first="Lynn" last="Wyche-El"] - Detroit MLK</span></strong> Renowned as one of the best Grand Valley recruits of all time, [player_tooltip player_id= "30148" first= "Lynn" last= "Wyche-El"] is a high-upside receiver with significant talent. If he sines with his brightest potential, he'll be incredible at the DII level. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">WR Kellen Reed - Holt</span></strong> Reed was incredibly productive at Holt with 1,223 all-purpose yards, 36 catches, and 14 touchdowns. He was a versatile weapon on offense and a difference-maker on special teams. I'm excited to see what he's able to do at GV. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">TE [player_tooltip player_id="30267" first="Brett" last="Peterson"] - Kingsley</span></strong> Peterson had some mind-blowing stats out of Kingsley, having started on offense and defense. He was a workhorse in high school with excellent grades, and he's an exciting prospect that I'll be watching at GV. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">OL/TE  [player_tooltip player_id="243276" first="Brett" last="Weaver"] - Traverse City Central </span></strong> Weaver is a 6'6" monster who played great for a state finalist. I'm always impressed with the development of talent at Traverse City Central, as the 2021-2022 Trojans were stacked. I'm interested to see how Weaver develops, especially athletically. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">OL [player_tooltip player_id="80495" first="Breon" last="Key"] - Harper Woods</span></strong> Key was a mauler at Harper Woods, weighing in at 6'4" 290lbs. A consistent force on offense and defense, Key has the opportunity to expand his game at GV. Excited to see his progression, especially athletically. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">OL [player_tooltip player_id="30179" first="Cooper" last="Phillips"] - Dakota</span></strong> Phillips comes from a consistently great program, and he's able to play just about anywhere on the line. He's got insane strength headlined by a 305lb bench press, though I'm excited to see how he progresses with his technique at the college level. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">OL Jeffrey Burton - Fordson</span></strong> Here's a big boy who knows how to get to work. Fordson has a fantastic football culture, and he's headed to a place with a winning tradition. Excited to see what he can do. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">OL Jakob Lentz - Monroe </span></strong> 6'7" 285lbs with a 315lb bench press, 405lb squat, and 500lb deadlift. Need I say more? The dude is a mauler, and his tape is extremely fun to watch. He's got a significant upside. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">LB [player_tooltip player_id="30305" first="Cross" last="Dobbs"] - Grand Blanc</span></strong> I am more knowledgeable about [player_tooltip player_id="30305" first="Cross" last="Dobbs"] more than anyone on this list. I watched him play quite a bit this past season, and he was phenomenal against all competition. A high motor and a relentless competitor, I expect Dobbs to transition well to the college level. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DB [player_tooltip player_id="80491" first="Jason" last="Hardy"] - Loyola Detroit </span></strong> A polished DB with some nice tape, [player_tooltip player_id="80491" first="Jason" last="Hardy"] is a big 6’2" corner with promise. I'm especially impressed by his tackling tape, something I have seldom seen on hudl. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">S [player_tooltip player_id="30177" first="Kyle" last="Johnson"] - West Bloomfield</span></strong> We all know West Bloomfield is one of the premier programs in the state, and that's because of its depth. [player_tooltip player_id= "30177" first= "Kyle" last= "Johnson"] was overshadowed by power five recruits, but checking out his tape, he's a relentless athlete with a ton to offer at the safety position. <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">S Charles Wilson - Belleville </span></strong> An underrated star for Belleville, Charles Wilson heads to GV with a state championship ring that he played a significant role in earning for his team. I am overall highly excited for this DB class.
