Pallone’s 2025 Preseason All-OK Conference Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My take on the best of the best in the OK Conference. If I had to hand-pick the perfect offense, this is what it would look like! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">All OK Conference Offense</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='570285' first='Kayd' last='Coffman'] - East Kentwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kayd is absolutely the most college-ready QB in West Michigan. Has found a way to stand out far above the rest of his class. Arguably the best QB in Michigan outside of Detroit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='736040' first='Bryce' last='Backus'] - Caledonia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Checks a lot of good boxes. Should have an amazing 2025 season. Looking forward to seeing what Bryce and Caledonia accomplish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1573500' first='Cameron' last='Payne'] - Byron Center</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've said it time and time again. Payne is the best all-around RB in his class and the best RB in West Michigan. A no-brainer for this list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1613883' first='Owen' last='Haarsma'] - Hudsonville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In my opinion, the OK Conference has far and away the best RB talent of any conference. Blows the OAA, KLAA, and PSL out of the water. I could have gone in many different directions here, but I opted for high-end speed. I feel that Haarsma will have another amazing season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1244363' first='Ahman' last='Edmonds'] - East Kentwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR1 for East Kentwood. If Ahman plays up to his potential this season, he'll be an all-state receiver. No-brainer for this list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1689122' first='JaMier' last='Jefferson'] - Muskegon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Super promising stuff from Jefferson. Should be a massive part of getting Muskegon's offense on track. I'd bet JaMier will be widely considered one of the best receivers in the OK Conference by end of season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR - Aaron Johnson - Northview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another dude who will probably have a breakout year. Good route runner. Good hands. Has put in work this offseason. Looking forward to seeing how his game translates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1157443' first='Tyden' last='Schuch'] - Caledonia</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'll keep on pounding the table for Tyden. Dude has phenomenal potential. Has finally hit that growth spurt, and he still looks pretty athletic. I'm hoping this will be Tyden's breakout year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1337883' first='KV' last='Korenstra'] - Grand Haven</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A weapon that can be used just about anywhere. Speed demon, great athletic traits, and will be a great prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TE - [player_tooltip player_id='1538022' first='Jack' last='VanProoyen'] - Northview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack has done nothing but work this offseason. He's earned the attention of quite a few colleges, too. Northview's offense looks as good as I can ever remember, and I'm looking forward to seeing Jack make plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1148698' first='Ernesto' last='Botello'] - Muskegon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yup, Muskegon STILL has one of the best O-Lines out there. Botello anchors that O-Line, just like his brother Miguel did. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='568183' first='Eli' last='Macauley'] - Forest Hills Northern</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eli's finally earned some recruiting buzz. Well-earned Grand Valley State offer. One of the best interior O-Linemen in Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1148700' first='Jacob' last='Timmer'] - West Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sky's the limit. Big, lengthy linemen like Jacob typically show major improvement every year. Expecting Jacob to take another stride forward this season- he seems to have put in the work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1337476' first='Jacob' last='Troast'] - Spring Lake</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the better run blockers on this list. Similar trajectory to Eli. I could see Spring Lake improving this year, and Jacob is a big reason behind that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1131212' first='Daniel' last='Wylie'] - Grandville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bit underrated by me for a while. Another mauler in the run game. A ton of colleges going after Daniel- he's proven his worth this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1687397' first='Grant' last='Adloff'] - East Grand Rapids</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PSTS dude. Filling out his frame quite well. One heck of an offseason it seems. Expecting Grant to take a major leap this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
