I fully expect these four to shine during the next few seasons, and all have Division 1 potential when it comes to Football. I’m super excited to watch these players develop, and without anything further, here’s a quick analysis of those four guys.
(ranked in no particular order)
Malik Murrell
Belleville has become an Elite program, and Malik Murrell could be one of those marquee players in a few years. Murrell is an incredibly hard runner who can find his holes easily. With added strength and twitchiness, Murrell will have the opportunity to start for an elite D1 program in Belleville and could be a power-5 recruit.

Michael Piggee Michael Piggee 6'0" | 165 lbs | ATH Muskegon | 2025 MI
This Muskegon Prospect has a ton of upside but may not get a chance to be the star until his senior season. Michael’s brother Destin is one of the best backs in the class of 2024, and that’s any indication, Michael will grow to become a top prospect with Division 1 potential. Mike Piggee ran an incredible 24.23 200M dash last year! Muskegon is consistently among the best programs in the state, and I’m confident that Piggee will receive significant attention at one point or another.
Adrian Rakin
Another star on the Muskegon track team, Rakin, could serve as a dangerous option for their offense. Running some Veer plays, Muskegon is always good at getting the ball in the hands of all of their best players.
Tommy Becker Tommy Becker RB Rockford | 2025 MI
Another West Michigan RB, this time from Rockford, Tommy Becker Tommy Becker RB Rockford | 2025 MI , is a very highly-touted Lacrosse player. He works out at Powerstrength, sports excellent work ethic and athleticism, and knows what it takes to perform at an elite level. I believe his #1 sport will always be LAX, but Rockford is known for developing well-rounded athletes. It will be interesting to see what role Becker plays this year for Rockford.
