<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jonathan Gabriel | DE | West Bloomfield | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2LdZ9R">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabriel has a relentless motor and has the ability to run down ball carriers. His outstanding pursuit and ability to run down ball carriers will be crucial for <strong>West Bloomfield</strong> in their sem-final matchup against <strong>South Field A&amp;T.</strong> Gabriel does a good job of working through traffic and he does a good job of using his agility to get past blockers. <strong>West Bloomfield</strong> have many talented defensive players and with teams keying on his teammate and <strong>Colorado</strong> commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='80954' first='Brandon' last='Davis-Swain']</strong> you have to believe that will open the door for Gabriel to have favorable matchups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='188000' first='Wendell' last='Smith'] | CB | South A&amp;T | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MQe2g">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith plays very tight man to man coverage on wide receivers. He has a quick back pedal and does a good job of bursting out of breaks. He is quick to read plays and is a good tackler. Smith's ability will be key to slowing down <strong>West Bloomfield's</strong> pass game. It will be interesting to see how often <strong>West Bloomfield</strong> will test Smith. I like <strong>Wendall Smith's</strong> game a lot and he is a guy who has ideal traits for collegiate level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='251363' first='Kevin' last='Simes'] | WR | Belleville | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/14557824/6383f7183448f7089850b2c0">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simes is a guy who flat out catches every ball thrown near him. He makes great adjustments to throws and does and excellent job of getting yards after catch. He was a guy who caught my attention last year with his kick return abilities. Simes runs hard and plays fearless. <strong>Belleville</strong> has so many playmakers that opposing teams can forget about that they have guys like Simes. I don't think <strong>Davison</strong> will forget about him but also <strong>Belleville</strong> knows that if they don't cover him tightly he can make plays in the open field. I like Simes game a lot and have been very impressed both times I saw him play in person. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='80934' first='Carter' last='Herriman'] | RB/LB | Davison | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/6698546/63686215b3c8cd0ab86a020f">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Herriman may not be much of a secret weapon since he is one of the <strong>Davison's</strong> best players and maybe their best player. Herriman is an excellent linebacker who has been a tackling machine this season for <strong>Davison</strong>. The reason I have him here listed as a secret weapon is because of his underrated ability as a running back. He is excellent running between the tackles and picking up tough yardage. Herriman's running may play a key part in <strong>Davison </strong>coming out victorious against <strong>Belleville.</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212356' first='Ben' last='Nichols'] | OT | Davison | <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MXE5c">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nichols is an excellent offensive tackle for <strong>Davison.</strong> I have really been impressed by how good of an athlete he. He moves very well and stood out at our showcase camps. Nicholas will play a big part in <strong>Davison</strong> winning their matchup with <strong>Belleville.</strong> Nicholas is a very physical run blocker who can drive a guy completely out of the play.<strong> Davison </strong>has to win the line of scrimmage to come out victorious in this game and Nicholas will be a key factor to Davison winning the line of scrimmage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
