Signing Day 2025: Ferris State

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's signing day! Today, dozens on top of dozens of high school football players put pen to paper on their commitments. The first school I've seen publish a signing day recap is Ferris State, so, the Bulldogs are up first! For the in-state prospects, I'll say a few words about each. I'll also list the out-of-state signees. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the week, I'll be publishing other Signing Day articles. Expect some more GLIAC, some MAC, and maybe an MIAA or two. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferris State In-State Recruiting Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterbacks</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='602072' first='Jordan' last='Simes'] | Roseville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>6'0" 185</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Natural Athlete</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Pure dual-threat</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Huge arm- loves throwing the deep ball</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great velocity </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Biggest drawback in High School was IQ- needs to learn how to read a defense</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Very high upside.
