Continue ReadingBecause I’ll be absent for the next few months, I think it’s a great time to mention my All-Winter offseason team! I’ve watched a LOT of football this winter, and I saw dozens of athletes putting in the work this offseason. On the defensive side of the ball, I saw many players outperform expectations, receive offers, MVPs, you name it. Here is my 1st team All-Winter Defense!
DB: Ty Hudkins Ty Hudkins 6'0" | 190 lbs | DB Forest Hills Central | 2024 State MI
Hudkins has had a phenomenal offseason and was far and away our DB MVP at the Prospect Showcase. He has fantastic fundamentals and can lock down any receiver in the state. Hudkins deserves more attention from colleges.
DB: Ma’Leik Tramble Ma’Leik Tramble 5'8" | 150 lbs | DB Grand Blanc | 2024 MI
Extremely active on Twitter, Ma’Leik Tramble Ma’Leik Tramble 5'8" | 150 lbs | DB Grand Blanc | 2024 MI has been extremely busy, improving every day. He was among the best DBs at the prospect showcase and is gearing up for a breakout 2022 season.
DB: Desman Stephens II Desman Stephens II 6'2" | 205 lbs | DB Clarkston | 2024 State MI
Stephens II has had an awesome offseason, and May is looking like one of his best months yet. He has Power 5 Potential, and I’m confident he’ll have a sensational season playing some extremely talented teams in the OAA Red.
LB: Anthony Lomakoski Anthony Lomakoski 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Romeo Highschool | 2023 MI
I feel bad for any team facing Romeo’s defense, and Lomakoski is right smack in the middle at MLB. He won LB MVP for Legacy’s Spring College Showcase and has been putting up insane numbers in the weight room.
LB: Brayden Courser Brayden Courser 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Detroit Catholic Central | 2023 State MI
Another one of the best-performing LBs at the Prospect Showcase, Brayden Courser Brayden Courser 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Detroit Catholic Central | 2023 State MI , is continuing to prove why he was selected first-team all-state in 2021. He’s been swamped, attending some great camps, and has recently received an offer from Grand Valley State.
LB: Nick Waszczenko Nick Waszczenko 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Clarkston | 2024 State MI
As I mentioned in April’s Linebacker Talent at the Showcase Article, Nick Waszczenko Nick Waszczenko 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Clarkston | 2024 State MI has been covered by many media outlets, been a beast in the weight room, and has done his fair share of college visits. He looked great at the Prospect Showcase, and he’ll be among the best linebackers in the OAA Red this Fall.
LB: Cailin Scott Cailin Scott 5'9" | 185 lbs | LB Belleville | 2025 MI
The Prospect Showcase LB MVP, Cailin Scott Cailin Scott 5'9" | 185 lbs | LB Belleville | 2025 MI , is one heck of a emerging talent out of Harper Woods. With an offer from Eastern Kentucky, it seems the long offseason hours are beginning to pay off. If he never lets his foot off the gas, Cailin Scott Cailin Scott 5'9" | 185 lbs | LB Belleville | 2025 MI has incredible potential.
DL: Brandon Davis-Swain Brandon Davis-Swain 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL West Bloomfield | 2024 State MI
One of the best athletes in the state, Davis-Swain, has been working his tail off this Winter and has recently committed to Notre Dame. He’s well-traveled, attends many camps, and is very well feared in the OAA Red.
DL: Anthony Wright Anthony Wright 6'0" | 285 lbs | DL Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI
Gaining attention from our National Director of Scouting, Anthony Wright Anthony Wright 6'0" | 285 lbs | DL Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI has had an ideal offseason performing well at every camp he’s been to, having also received an offer from Central Michigan. Chippewa Valley is a highly talented team, and Anthony Wright Anthony Wright 6'0" | 285 lbs | DL Chippewa Valley | 2024 State MI should have a fantastic season with some college looks.
DL: Royce Daugherty Royce Daugherty 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL Watervliet | 2023 MI
I didn’t know much about Royce until the Prospect Showcase, but he won DL MVP and immediately received an offer from Lawrence Tech following his performance. He also won DL MVP at Legacy’s College Showcase! I feel that the LTU offer is just the beginning for Royce Daugherty Royce Daugherty 6'3" | 290 lbs | DL Watervliet | 2023 MI .
DL: Tyler Dosh Tyler Dosh 6'0" | 225 lbs | DL Davison | 2024 State MI
An OLB/EDGE type, Tyler Dosh Tyler Dosh 6'0" | 225 lbs | DL Davison | 2024 State MI is a superstar playing a unique position. He performed exceptionally well as a LB and DE at the Prospect Showcase, being the best EDGE rusher in the building. He has a vast arsenal of moves on the defensive line, and I feel that offers should be coming soon.
