<p>On Friday night, the lights at Muskegon's famed Hackley Stadium flipped on and some of the brightest rising stars of West Michigan shined bright! On top of rising high school athletes, we had a few West Side grads working on their game as they prepare for their next season of college football. Check out who stood out in this unique workout:</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1291406' first='Ryan' last='Moore'] has been putting in the work this off season and it's paying off! He covered a variety of receivers and found ways to win reps with them in every situation. During individual drills, he moved well, took coaching to heart and paid attention to detail on his technique. Once we got into 1 on 1 reps, Moore stepped up and won reps with good speed, technique, fluid hips and ball skills. I'm excited to get out to more of these workouts and continue to watch his game grow! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1450313' first='Odin' last='Spencer'] now has a year of varsity ball under his belt, and in this workout he looked really confident. He stood tall, delivered balls decisively and had the strength and accuracy to put the ball where very few QBs in the class of 2028 can. He did a lot of the work for some of the receivers as he would put it where only they could get it. He passes the eye test with his size and build, and with the coaching and program he has, I'm confident he will succeed in 2025. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">What a showing for Lamar. On nearly every throw, all you heard was "Good ball!" He was on the money all night. He's accurate, he hits guys in stride, and he no throw is too far for him and his cannon of an arm. Pair all of these traits with his ability on the ground and you have another Muskegon QB that can effectively run the high powered offense we're used to seeing from the Big Reds. I am very optimistic about what Muskegon can do with Lamar at the helm. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gressett seems to be the next man up behind [player_tooltip player_id='1643882' first='Lamar' last='Bradford']. He's another one that passes the eye test, and I really liked what he was able to do not only in the 1 on 1 drills, but the individual QB drills as well. He was pretty accurate and was able to drive the ball into some tight spots. He has a strong base and moves his feet well. He seemed competitive and was taking coaching well. High hopes for Gressett and his development! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The CMU committed linebacker put on a heck of a performance on Friday. His man coverage was far above most linebackers, and his size and athleticism overwhelmed a lot of receivers. From the ability to change direction, ability to play the ball and display good hands, Reynolds holds all the cards to be the best LB in the state before the end of the season. Central Michigan is really fortunate to have landed his commitment. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This dude put on one of the most impressive and downright dominant performances I've ever seen at an event like this. The Grand Valley State signee absolutely balled out. From clean and crisp routes to absurd athleticism and ball skills, Korenstra showed off every trick in his bag. On multiple reps, he came down with the ball while having a defender face guarding him or yanking him to the ground. He finishes catches through contact with defenders and the ground every time. His catch radius is insane, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him be a key contributor for GVSU in the very near future. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most elite and explosive athletes I've ever seen play in person, M'Khi Guy is getting the work in as he remains in the transfer portal. Guy departs from Wayne State and already holds some offers, including Davenport, just down the road from Muskegon. He worked out as a receiver and as a defensive back, and truly was impressive both ways. His speed and change of direction paired with his IQ gives him some special traits. It will be interesting to see where Guy lands, but whoever snags him is getting a special athlete who can plug and play a variety of positions. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Decarion Taylor showed up and showed out, freshly in the portal himself. Taylor thrives as a defensive back, but has the speed, agility and hands to play wideout at the next level. He has continued to work on his body and has gained a significant amount of muscle during his stint at Wayne State. Bigger, faster and stronger than ever, DT is poised to break out wherever he lands. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Reedley College is getting a really good one out of the portal with Meeks. He's a well built QB with the size and arm strength to do some serious damage. He showed up to the workout and worked with a variety of really good quarterbacks and still was a standout. He has a nice release and solid footwork which allows him to drive the ball with some pretty good zip. Hopefully he can get some reps in game situations out west to help him develop at the collegiate level. </p>
