These guys I have highlighted here are outstanding players who certainly will catch your attention with their respective skill sets. These are guys you must go watch play in person if you are a high school football fan. I will make it a point to go watch these guys play next year.
Jace Clarizio Jace Clarizio 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB East Lansing | 2025 State MI | RB | East Lansing | Hudl
Clarizio is certainly one of the top players in the Lansing Area. He has outstanding burst and can really get up field in a hurry. You can tell he is a very confident runner who believes he can take it the distance every time he touches the ball. He has great change of direction and can make people miss in the open field. His vision is terrific and you can tell he has a natural feel for when holes are going to open up and when to cut back and make something out of nothing.
Owen Fortman Owen Fortman 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR East Lansing | 2025 MI | WR | East Lansing | Hudl
Fortman is a sure-handed receiver who catches nearly everything thrown his way. He is a precise route runner who knows exactly when to break out of cuts. I like how East Lansing would run a lot of screen passes to get Fortman the ball quickly so he could turn up field and pick up yardage. Fortman has a good release off the line of scrimmage and does a great job of beating his man down field. Fortman played a key part in East Lansing making a run in the playoffs this past year and will do so once again in 2024.
Cooper Parks Cooper Parks 5'8" | 160 lbs | LB Grand Ledge | 2026 State MI | LB/RB | Grand Ledge | Hudl
Parks is a very agile player who is a good athlete. He reads plays well at the linebacker position and takes good angles to ball carriers. He is very strong at the point of attack and has the ability to knock defenders to the ground. Parks is a good running back as well who has good vision. I like his ability to make people miss as well. Parks has a bright future ahead as he enters only his junior season in 2024. He will be an impact player once again for Grand Ledge and will be a player that will gain attention to many high school football fans in the Lansing area.
Braden Rabideau Braden Rabideau 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Lansing Catholic | 2025 State MI | WR/DB | Lansing Catholic | Hudl
Rabideau has legit speed and is very effective at beating defenders with double moves. He looks very confident making defenders miss after the catch. Not only does he have very good top end speed he plays fast as well and gets off the line of scrimmage with a sense of urgency. Rabideau has the ability to go up and win contested catches as well. Rabideau is a game changing player and his skill set will be critical for Lansing Catholic to make a run at a state title next year.
