There’s been a ton of Kloska buzz over the last few weeks, and I’m afraid I under-ranked him as he currently sits at #52 in the class. Will be jump Ethan Clark Ethan Clark 6’1″ | 195 lbs | RB Clarkston | 2023 State MI ? We’ll see. Darius Taylor Darius Taylor 5’8″ | 150 lbs | RB Walled Lake Western | 2023 State MI ? Maybe, but unlikely.
Either way, Kloska will earn a significant rankings boost, with early drafts having him in the 20’s for rankings. Once I dive deep into this class, I’ll be heavily comparing his game with athletes like Clark and Taylor. Kloska’s physical traits will also be included in this analysis.
I’ll be looking for power, IQ, open-field athleticism, among many other things. This year with a inexperienced offensive line, Kloska proved he’s one of the best players in Michigan.
Highlights
Tyus is an outstanding running back from Portage Northern, and his evaluation will be interesting. The X man was the best player on the field by a long shot in his playoff game against Byron Center, and he sported the best balance of power and athleticism I saw all season.
I question why I haven’t seen Tyus’s name much in the media, and I believe much of it is because he’s in the Kalamazoo area, rather than Metro Detroit or Grand Rapids. This is an extremely underrated back, and I expect to see some amazing qualities in him. Don’t be shocked if I rank him ahead of some players with college offers.
Highlights
Jenkins is a interesting RB in a unique situation. His team, Royal Oak, is on a string of extremely poor seasons in what is in my opinion the least talented league in Oakland County. Although his competition is weak, he’s a highly-regarded RB with a offer and commitment to Central Michigan.
Jenkins has high upside as an athletic 5’9 185lb RB, and I’m excited to see if he’s earned his praise.
