Continue ReadingThe offseason is in full swing and that means there’s a camp nearly every weekend. Although I’m a full time student and student athlete in the Grand Rapids area, I’ll be doing my best to see some offseason competition, which is mostly in Southeast Michigan. So, this article will mainly feature players who are NOT from the west side of Michigan. So without anything else, in no particular order, here’s the list!
Corey Sadler Corey Sadler 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Cass Tech | 2026 State MI | Cass Tech | 2026
Sadler is a priority watch. The consensus #1 player in the class of 2026, Sadler is an exceptionally rare breed. I’m a bit embarrassed to say I haven’t seen Sadler or Cass Tech in person yet.
Marcello Vitti Marcello Vitti 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Divine Child | 2026 State MI | Divine Child | 2026
I’ve watched the film and I’ve seen countless endorsements. I know Marcello Vitti Marcello Vitti 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Divine Child | 2026 State MI is an outstanding athlete with an elite work ethic, but I have yet to watch his skillset play out in person. I’ll be keeping an eye out for events he may be participating in.
Bobby Kanka Bobby Kanka 6'4" | 255 lbs | DL Howell | 2025 State MI | Howell | 2025
Kanka is another player I’ve heard so much about but just haven’t had an opportunity to see. He really stands out on the field with his imposing size and impressive strength. It’s rare to see such an elite athlete attending Howell (Pinckney was prior school).
CJ Carr CJ Carr 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Saline | 2024 State MI & Dylan Mesman Dylan Mesman 6'5" | 220 lbs | TE Saline | 2024 State MI | Saline | 2024
This is now the best QB/TE duo in the state and I’ve yet to see either of these guys play! Of course, CJ Carr CJ Carr 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Saline | 2024 State MI is one of the best QB prospects in the midwest while Mesman is an elite TE that keeps getting D1 offers.
Kalieb Osborne Kalieb Osborne 6'5" | 200 lbs | QB Waterford Mott | 2024 State MI | Waterford Mott | 2024
I’ve been wanting to see Osborne for quite some time. He’s one of the most explosive QBs in the sate and the best QB Mott has had in a very long time, maybe ever.
Semaj Morgan Semaj Morgan 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR West Bloomfield | 2023 State MI | West Bloomfield | 2023
This offseason will be my last chance to see Semaj before he heads to Michigan. I feel that Semaj is by far the best WR in Michigan and maybe the midwest.
