Who’s Having A Productive Offseason?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anyone who follows the scene closely knows there really isn't an offseason, and in this article we're going to highlight some guys I'm noticing take that to heart! These athletes are having a productive season of work to prepare for the 2024 season! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601928' first='Colin' last='Charles'],</strong><em> ATH, Northville- </em>Colin is a 4 sport athlete so I'm extremely impressed with how he is able to fit the work in for all of those! On the gridiron, he's been showcasing some great work, getting better as a receiver and overall athlete. With this work, it's no wonder he already holds a Toledo offer, all the while knocking it out in the classroom! I'm pumped to see what Colin does this season, because he's doing all the right things so far to be a contender to blow up this fall. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1148726' first='Brady' last='Collins'],</strong><em> QB, Clarkston- </em>After having a really good sophomore season, Brady is putting in the work with Legacy to take the next step. His clips show me a lot that I like. He's utilizing pump fakes and looking off defenders, and he has nice footwork and strong delivery. I really like where Collins is at currently, and it's looking like he will be another breakout contender this season. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Owen van der Veen, </strong><em>WR, East Kentwood- </em>There may be nobody having a more productive offseason than Owen right now. Owen is making the position move from KICKER to RECEIVER! There will likely be a steep learning curve, but he's doing all he can to minimize that learning curve in the regular season by absolutely putting in the work with Legacy. His clips show some natural ability, and his big frame. He has a decent vertical to get up for 50/50 balls, and actually looks really good in the hands. I'm hoping to see him work in person soon as I am really curious what his ceiling really could be. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1652721' first='Joe' last='Thole'],</strong><em> QB, Portage Northern- </em>Joe looks to be both a weight room warrior and a baller on the field. Another guy getting it done in the classroom while also performing at a high level. He's been carving up defenses in the Legacy League, showing a nice ability to hit short passes accurately, and also bombing the ball downfield in a bucket. He's been pumping iron in the weight room and it shows as he is extremely well built. Overall, Joe is putting in all the work this offseason to be really successful. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='557747' first='Khalief' last='Canty'], </strong><em>OL, Cass Tech-</em> Canty has been very open about wanting to become the best OL prospect in the country. With the work he's putting in, he may have the shot to do it. He was an absolute standout at the Legacy camp, winning every 1 On 1 he repped. He's a mauler who is just straight up mean. He's throwing up the weights, working on his craft and staying active, and the offers have rolled in as a result. Be on the lookout as he will likely be one of the most highly sought out recruits in the country. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
