Hudl Discoveries #32: OK-Green Pt.3

Welcome to the final Hudl Discoveries article covering the OK-Green! Thus far, we've evaluated twelve underrated and high-upside prospects. Today, we'll be taking a look at six more players. This time, we're talking about a few players from Byron Center, Reeths-Puffer, Forest Hills Northern, and Mona Shores.   '25 DE | [player_tooltip player_id='1290893' first='Nolan' last='Subblefield'] | Byron Center | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16771993/Nolan-stubblefield?_gl=1%2A1xeqmsp%2A_ga%2AMzQyNDEyMDcuMTY5MzMzNjg0Ng..%2A_ga_29LPHS2HWC%2AMTcxNDc0NDAzNS4zMTUuMS4xNzE0NzQ0NzM4LjAuMC4w">Hudl</a>   Nolan sports very good fundamentals and IQ as a defensive end. He's not the biggest, strongest, or fastest, but he can still play at a high level. In terms of pass rush, Nolan is able to consistently win off the edge with a great dip and rip move. He's also able to counter and cut inside with success. While stopping the run, Nolan sets the edge and doesn't let anything get outside of him. If the RB cuts back into his inside hip, Nolan quickly counters and makes the tackle. Very good stuff, and I can't wait to see what Nolan does as a senior!    '26 OL | [player_tooltip player_id='1290896' first='Jackson' last='Bovia'] | Byron Center | <a href="https://twitter.com/jacksonbovia">@jacksonbovia</a>   Jackson is a bruiser of a lineman who's also a 3-sport athlete. Once he engages with a block, Jackson can sometimes bench-press the defender for a pancake. Good leverage, power, and effort all come together on several plays for an impressive block. Jackson can also reach the block with decent success, and overall, he's a good run-blocking tackle. His pass-blocking could use some work. Jackson looks unbalanced and his footwork leaves a bit to be desired. With some work, Jackson could become a D3 college prospect.    '25 RB | Colton Sawyer | Forest Hills Northern | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17103009/Colton-Sawyer">Hudl</a>   As one of the featured backs for FHN, Colton showed flashed a few potentially great traits. I actually think one of Colton's best traits is his lead-blocking ability. Later in his highlight tape, he shows off a few lead blocks where he gives the defender a great pop and does his best to keep his feet moving through the block. Love the physicality there. As a runner, Colton sports solid vision and runs through his holes with decent explosiveness. He doesn't look to cut back or juke much in the open field, as he's a pure north-south runner. Next season, I think Colton could be more physical as a runner, develop some contact balance, and improvisation in the open field.    '25 DB | [player_tooltip player_id='1290900' first='Mhakai' last='Lennox-Brooks'] | Muskegon | <a href="https://twitter.com/MhakaiB">@MhakaiB</a>   Mhakai is another player who improved as the season went on, and had himself a phenomenal postseason. Especially in the postseason, Mhakai was a lockdown DB who was in a flow state. He made coverage mistakes here and there, but his explosiveness and recovery consistently allowed him to break on the football and force an incompletion. He especially proved himself during the State Championship where I thought he locked up multiple D1 prospects quite well. Keep up those postseason performances for a full season, and he's getting scholarship offers sooner than later.    '25 WR | [player_tooltip player_id='1290904' first='Jaeger' last='Johnson'] | Mona Shores | <a href="https://twitter.com/jaeger11johnson">@jaeger11johnson</a>   Jaeger is a burner of a receiver with real college upside. Off the line of scrimmage, Jaeger explodes out of his stance. He has great acceleration and a great release against off-man or zone coverage. I also think Jaeger runs the entire route tree with much more precision and attention to detail than most other receivers. There is still room to improve in that area, but I can tell he's well-coached and practiced in route running. He's also quite effective after the catch but tends to go down on first contact. I'd absolutely love to see Jaeger at some offseason camps!    '26 LB | [player_tooltip player_id='1290910' first='Callahan' last='Millis'] | Reeths-Puffer | <a href="https://twitter.com/CalMillis">@CalMillis</a>   Callahan showed a ton of promise as a sophomore linebacker. Reaction time and play speed are two incredibly important things a linebacker must attempt to master. Callahan is ahead of the curve in both areas. Especially against the outside run, Callahan reacts fairly quickly and sprints toward the ballcarrier, oftentimes helping with a gang tackle. Defending against inside runs, he shows promise in reading, reacting, and accelerating to the ball carrier. He sometimes gets caught waiting for the ball carrier to meet him, which needs to be corrected. All in all, this is a high-upside player who could have a breakout 2024 season.
