This article will be pulling the best of the best from the OAA and the Catholic League and creating a dream team. These athletes are expected to be the best of the best in Oakland County, and I hope to watch every one of these athletes in person this season. Now, let’s get to the Dream Team!

. In short, he proved himself to the highest degree and got the attention he deserved. The Cincinnati commit comes into the 2022 season with not much else to prove, but trust me, he’ll find a way to impress everyone further.

A Maryland Commit,
Nolan Ray
Nolan
Ray
6'0" | 195 lbs | RB
Brother Rice | 2023
State
MI
is one of the marquee running backs in Michigan and, in my opinion, the best elusive back in the county and a top-5 back in the State. Ray is shifty and can make something out of nothing, often being patient for holes to open up and bouncing it outside when he knows the play is breaking down. If Brother Rice is to contend for a State Championship,

will have to play at an all-state level, which is what I expect.
RB –

– Detroit Country Day – HUDL
A mighty back, Winowich has been on top of the class since his freshman season. He’s similar to backs like Kloska (West Catholic) but even a bit more athletic than him. A bulldozer of a runner,

looks to take another leap for his junior season, looking to earn even more B1G 10 offers.
WR –
Semaj Morgan

The Future Wolverine has more than proven himself, and he was likely the most obvious addition to this list. Elite run after catch ability, Morgan’s game reminds me of Jameson Willams with his blazing speed, elite route running, great hands, etc. Overall, Semaj Morgan is one of, if not the best receiver in the State, and it’s going to be an exciting season watching him and West Bloomfield.

Tashi Braceful

is a productive receiver with many tools in his arsenal. In short, I expect him to be an all-region or all-state player, potentially earning himself more offers.

A recent Grand Valley State commit,
Darius Whiteside
Darius
Whiteside

State

II, is a pure athlete primarily playing WR/DB. He’s shown plenty of flashes throughout his career, being one of the most highly touted recruits heading into high school. Overall, Whiteside reminds me a lot of Jaden Mangham from Groves, but dare I say Whiteside doesn’t have the elite QB that Nichols or Braceful has, leading me to believe his true potential has yet to be shown.

A polished lineman,

has no obvious weaknesses. Size is near-elite at 6’3 300, while his technique (pass, run, power, zone, etc.) is some of the best in the country. He’s a shoo-in for this list and is preparing for his next steps at the University of Michigan.
OL –

has been a sought-after recruit and has progressed incredibly well. Another polished lineman at a powerhouse OAA Red school, Dellinger, is going to dominate for another season on his way to Michigan State.
OL –
Ryan Ross

OL –
Jacob Kropchak

A new addition to the soon-updated rankings and a Grand Valley State commit,
David Rolands
David
Rolands
6'4" | 270 lbs | OL
Berkley | 2023
State
MI
is a surprising athlete coming out of the OAA Gold. Rolands isn’t quite as polished as others on this list, but he’s still a dominant lineman who is set to attend one of the best DII programs of all time.
