Bryson Franklin
Bryson Franklin
Bryson is starting to draw some eyes. He does a nice job in the run game, as he can pull effectively and get to the 2nd level. He’s strong, has a wide base and drives through his opponent. His film doesn’t display a ton in the way of passing sets, but I think he is athletic and mobile enough to develop that quite easily. Bryson has some work to do still in the weight room, and I’d like to see him continue to work on pass blocking, but I think he could have a huge fall this season.
Aiden Griffis
Aiden Griffis
Aiden could end up being one of the most sought-after guys in Northern Michigan. He’s an extremely athletic WR who can run a variety of routes, but he’s especially threatening when running deep routes. Any post or go route could go for big yardage, as he fires off quickly, doesn’t get knocked off his route, and can get behind the DB in a hurry. I think the biggest compliment to his game I can give him is he runs every single route extremely hard and expects to be open. As a DB he is physical and does a great job of staying with his man on deep routes. Overall I think Aiden could be a great steal for someone at the collegiate level.
Trevor is a big and physical inside linebacker who loves the contact. His pursuit side to side is relentless, and I love how quickly he reacts. He comes flying in under control but still extremely aggressive. He seems to have a great football IQ, which helps him make plays he probably wouldn’t have otherwise. He sheds blockers well and doesn’t leave his assignment. Keep an eye out for some colleges to really take a liking to him. I hope he’s at some camps I’m at this summer so I can see him work in person.
Everyone that knows Keaton speaks extremely high of him both on the field and as a person. I haven’t met him, but what I have seen him do on the field is impressive. He’s a relentless edge rusher who does a great job of fighting through multiple blockers to make the play. He’s a big bodied athlete who has strong legs and a good toolbag of moves to do damage in many different ways. In the run game, he keeps contain, but crashes hard when there’s a play to be made in front of him. I think he could easily wind up being a D1 caliber guy if he puts in the proper work this offseason, but so far it looks like he is well on track.
Nathan has done a great job of putting in the weight room work to fill out, and it serves him well. He’s big and physical, and has a plethora of moves off the edge. I like the way he is able to keep offensive linemen out of his chest, leaving him open to beat them with speed. I really like how strong of a tackler he is, as he doesn’t get shaken off at all. I hope he gets out to some camps this summer, because I think he could start garnering offers as he puts himself in front of college coaches.
