The following five players provide immense value to their team, and overall they are huge mismatches for opposing defenses/offenses.
Dakota – Corey Royster
One of the fastest athletes in Michigan, Cory Royster, is a dynamic athlete that will be able to do a ton for the Dakota offense. In addition to the blazing 4.36 speed, he’s good at finding holes as the play develops and making guys miss along the way with great footwork. Dakota is always one of the best teams in the state, and Royster should provide an incredible boost to their team.
Chippewa Valley – Shamar Heard Shamar Heard 5'9" | 150 lbs | ATH Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI
An athlete most familiar with the MAC Red know about, Shamar Heard Shamar Heard 5'9" | 150 lbs | ATH Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI is a blazing-fast athlete that can do it all. Line him up at RB, WR, Slot; you name it; Heard will bring his elite athleticism to it. Excited to see what he’s able to do this season.
Romeo – Anthony Lomakoski Anthony Lomakoski 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Romeo Highschool | 2023 MI
Lomakoski headlines the most elite group of LBs of any team in Michigan. This three-headed monster will dominate, and specifically, Lomakoski has been showing off during this offseason at camps along with the weight room. Romeo already had one of the best defenses in the state last season, and It’s going to be fun to see them get to work again.
Stevenson – Caden Bollinger Caden Bollinger 5'11" | 215 lbs | LB Sterling Heights Stevenson | 2024 State MI
Bollinger plays RB, LB, P, and K. This is a swiss army knife who will be integral to this Stevenson team. At the division 1 level, you’ll take any player that can give your team an edge, and Bollinger gives them an edge in his versatility, along with being a good kicker. I can surely see some games coming down to his leg.
Eisenhower – Preston Crum Preston Crum 6'1" | 180 lbs | QB Utica Eisenhower | 2024 State MI
Crum is a highly-regarded QB prospect that is getting him time to shine. The C/O 2024 QB has impressed many over the past several offseasons, and Crum is a guy who seems to be constantly improving. The MAC Red is no joke when it comes to defense, and if Crum can adapt well, he’ll be a nightmare for any team in the state.
