<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My Thoughts</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='247643' first='Beau' last='Jackson'] - West Bloomfield (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- An extremely highly anticipated transfer here. Beau immediately steps into an offense with an elite O-Line and an elite group of weapons. I fully expect Beau to be an all-state caliber player. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='1298663' first='Lawrence' last='Wells'] - Brighton (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Lawrence has gained a lot of good momentum this offseason. On paper, this is Brighton's best QB in a long, long time. Can Lawrence live up to his talent and expectations? I think so. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>RB - [player_tooltip player_id='601974' first='Alexander' last='Guadagni'] - Canton (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- I'm flat-out expecting a phenomenal season from Guadagni. He was used all over the field last season, and I expect him to be the focal point of the Canton offense again this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>RB - [player_tooltip player_id='602107' first='Luke' last='Johnson'] - Oxford (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- A very underrated player in the class of 2025. He's a Division 2 talent, in my opinion, and hasn't received the attention he deserves yet. He'll once again be facing several extremely difficult defenses in the OAA Red, but I expect Luke to produce. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='402068' first='William' last='Jones-Terrell'] - Chippewa Valley (JR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- A very highly anticipated reciever. With an offer from Michigan State and jaw-dropping athleticism, I expect William to take off this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1225707' first='Owen' last='Van Der Veen'] - East Kentwood (JR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Am I jumping the gun here? Maybe. But with an incredible offseason, a great Quarterback, and one of the most respected Head Coaches in Michigan, Owen can be one of the many East Kentwood players I expect to produce this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='603747' first='Braylen' last='Naves'] - Davison (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- This is a player who loves to do the dirty work. Braylen is an excellent blocker, route-runner, and overall an extremely well-rounded receiver. I expect Braylen to put up huge numbers this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>TE - [player_tooltip player_id='1290918' first='Blake' last='Linsley'] - Rockford (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- A very difficult choice here. There are several Division 1 TEs with more recruiting attention, but most lack the opportunities and/or experience that Blake receives at Rockford. In fact, some P4-recruited TEs barely have any time on Varsity yet. Blake was great last season, has had a wonderful offseason, and I expect him to make the most of his opportunities this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1312081' first='Lucas' last='Barnes'] - Plymouth (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Plymouth doesn't get talked about much. However, they always seem to have a freak of nature on the roster. This year, that guy is [player_tooltip player_id='1312081' first='Lucas' last='Barnes']. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='212357' first='Benjamin' last='Eziuka'] - DET Catholic Central (JR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- One of the best interior offensive line prospects in Michigan. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='601081' first='Trezelle' last='Jenkins Jr'] - Belleville (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Anchors the Offensive line for the State-Championship favorites. Will earn All-Region in the regular season, and he'll earn All-State playing higher competition in the postseason. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='899577' first='Zane' last='Panchula'] - Rockford (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- There's no reason why Zane can't be the best offensive lineman in the Grand Rapids Metro Area next season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='899503' first='Lucas' last='Tic'] - Troy (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Lucas has been working hard for a long time now. With some experience and a few good offseasons under his belt, I expect him to absolutely dominate the OAA Blue. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='247675' first='Cooper' last='Pyle'] - Hartland (SR)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- A relatively underrated offensive lineman. Cooper sports amazing power and is an ideal lineman for Hartland's scheme. </p>
