Michigan’s Top 2023 WR’s Without A Division One Offer

We looked far and wide to find some of the most undervalued wide receivers in Michigan. This article focuses on the top rising senior wideouts without a division one scholarship. That could change here quickly via the summer camp circuit or by putting together a monster senior campaign on the field. <hr /> &nbsp; <em><strong>Dorijan Jackson, 5’9" N/A, East Lansing</strong></em> An explosive prospect that can eat up corners &amp; safeties cushions. Jackson is a deadly returner with outstanding vision and superb change of direction. He’s a terrific deep-ball tracker who can run under just about any throw downfield. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13320211/6160872406622d052c9e7d06" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="240757" first="Triston" last="Nichols"], 6’3" 200, De La Salle</strong></em> A long strider with noticeable build-up speed once he gets going. Nichols is a YAC machine who can easily navigate his way through traffic. He’s a sleek route runner who has no issues defeating press coverage and is extremely effective as a redzone threat. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/4831906/614774a24bb2c40bf0e1e839" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="241259" first="Bryce" last="Kurncz"], 6’2" 175, DeWitt</strong></em> A sure-handed outside receiver who catches everything thrown within the framework of his body. He’s rarely brought down by the first defender, calmly sidestepping tacklers who took a poor angle to the ball. Bryce is creative after the catch and can turn a five-yard quick game concept into a fifteen-yard chunk play. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13141836/6176025d041e55018c3e82ef" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="119697" first="Donovan" last="Weatherly"], 6’1" 180, L’Anse Creuse</strong></em> A tough pass-catcher who can go get the 50/50 ball. Donovan has a strong lower half, barreling through arm tackle attempts with little to no effort. He shows sudden hands and just straight-up silly body control. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13098764/6268447d041dec0b645daa78" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Zarek Zelinski, 6’3" 205, Waterford Kettering</strong></em> Zarek plucks the football out of the air and can make his quarterback right on poorly thrown balls. This is a concise route runner who does a good job mixing up his tempo to lull defenders to sleep. He’s a possession-type receiver who can sink his hips and stop on a dime &amp; work back to the football. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13229714/6189bf0f0dc14508146cdb48" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Brandon Lewis, 5’11" 170, Lansing Catholic</strong></em> Lewis was a production machine in 2021, accounting for 1,730 all-purpose yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s extremely twitchy with the ball in his hands and will make defenders look silly in space. I was so impressed by how easily he can accelerate into his top gear and run away from tacklers. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13126422/61a450514bb31b0accf41ce2" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Jaylin Townsend, 6’1" 160, Beecher</strong></em> An absolute blazer with 10.75 100-meter speed. Townsend can turn the corner in an instant and has the burners to out-run angles. His contact balance, return deception, and ability to create separation make him someone who needs to be on college coaches’ radars. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15179454/6176e2169680c90b80da9f93" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> &nbsp; <em><strong>Tyler Swick, 6’2" 175, Grosse IIe</strong></em> This young man’s hands are as strong as they come. Swick is a tough kid whose willing to take a shot in-order to haul in a throw. He knows how to stem defensive backs and has a solid mixture of size &amp; athleticism that can give opponents issues. <iframe src="https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13214877/617dbdea041e480cacf26372" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
