Hudl Discoveries #16 – Charter School Silver

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Charter School Silver League is one of the least-covered leagues in Michigan. Although they are seldom covered, I was able to find a few super high-upside players. This just proves that you can find talent just about anywhere in Michigan! Here are five standout players from the Charter School Silver League. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>'25 DE | [player_tooltip player_id='1290623' first='Davair' last='McCrimon'] | Mevlindale | <a href="https://twitter.com/Davair52">Twitter</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'6" 220</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First up is a super intriguing defensive end from Melvindale. His size almost makes plays for him as he's able to consistently get in the QBs throwing lane for some easy tipped passes. He's forced several turnovers by just getting in the quarterbacks face. Davair is also able to speed by some linemen and he's a solid pass rusher. He needs work with general explosiveness if he wants to make a name for himself this coming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14656823/6536b9025b47ee0df47f2de2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b2f8c52fba"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>'25 RB | [player_tooltip player_id='1239280' first='King' last='Allen'] | Melvindale | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16163440/King-Allen">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'11" 200</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King is a solid running back for Melvindale. He excels most when he's able to bounce it outside before he finds a hole and accelerates upfield. He's not the fastest or most athletic running back, but he knows how to evade tackles and run north-south once there's a hole. For next season, King should prioritize speed training and lower-body strength. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16163440/655da633b022950480aeb815' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b2f8c52fec"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>'27 LB | [player_tooltip player_id='1233552' first='Kaleb' last='McNea'] | Melvindale | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19324679/Kaleb-McNea?_gl=1%2A11iigdx%2A_ga%2AMzQyNDEyMDcuMTY5MzMzNjg0Ng..%2A_ga_29LPHS2HWC%2AMTcxMTk5NjI0OS4yNTkuMS4xNzExOTk5MDExLjAuMC4w">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'0" 220</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaleb is a freshman linebacker (also played TE) who had himself a very productive 2023 season. He does a nice job at reading the O-Line and filling running lanes. His pursuit and speed look promising as well. There is a lot of room for Kaleb to improve, and that should come with age. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19324679/658a0b722aa7ac06d42d55d4' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b2f8c5300b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>'25 WR/DB | Bishop James | Mt. Clemens | <a href="https://twitter.com/586BishopThomas">Twitter</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'4" 155</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bishop is the most college-ready prospect on this list, and he also has the highest ceiling. Any college loves to see a 6'4" receiver. Also, any college loves to see a receiver who's good at getting up and getting 50/50 balls. In addition, Bishop also sports good explosiveness on his release and good downfield speed. I'd be interested to see how he tests with the shuttle and 40. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16516478/6548248a5eec0a0b902b4c49' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b2f8c53028"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>'25 RB | Jordan Hardiman | Pontiac A&amp;T | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18298042/Jordan-Hardiman">Hudl</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5'10" 180</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan is a good running back from Pontiac A&amp;T.

Moving forward, he absolutely needs to work on harder running and finishing his runs in general. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18298042/6566940cbee1a60b2c573d76' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b2f8c53045"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
