<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome back to Hudl Discoveries! If you're new here, Hudl Discoveries is a series in which I dive into Hudl and quickly evaluate the film of players who aren't currently on our radar. This is the fourth and final article covering the Huron League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this iteration, I'll be covering players from Airport, Flat Rock, Grosse Ille,
