Michigan’s Best Uncommitted Seniors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are still plenty of uncommitted Class of 2026 prospects. Some of these guys have offers, and some don't. The fact of the matter is, all of these guys deserve some sort of opportunity at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693ca7661c886"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've liked Grady for a while, and I'm surprised he hasn't earned a little more attention in the recruiting space. From what I can see on Grady's Twitter, he holds two offers from Hope and Adrian. Both of those programs are excellent at the D3 level, but I do think his upside is a tad higher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I said it last Spring, but Grady truly reminds me of the current Michigan Tech QB (Rochester Alum), Alex Bueno. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've seen Grady take a step up in his play every single year. This season, he's taken another step forward. Grady is comfortable hitting his first read quickly and on-time. Additionally, he has the arm + mechanics to consistently make most throws. Finally, Grady is a good athlete with legit dual-threat upside at the next level. Again, he reminds me of Alex Bueno quite a bit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["568050"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693ca7661c946"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm legitimately shocked that Jakoby doesn't have more offers. I first mentioned Jakoby a couple years ago as a potential up-and-comer at Goodrich, citing physical running. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During his senior season, Jakoby totaled over 2,200 AP yards, alongside 10 TFLs, 3 forced fumbles, and 5 pass breakups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Getting an updated in-person look at Jakoby in his semifinal game against Divine Child, I'm more confident than ever that Jakoby should be a Division 2 prospect. Really, the only thing Jakoby lacks is elite speed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On both sides of the ball, Jakoby is extremely physical. Quick to stop the run, as well as bowl people over when he's the ball carrier. Plus, Jakoby is an excellent (vocal) leader. I could go on and on, but I am shocked that Jakoby doesn't have more opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1538022"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693ca7661c9be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Unlike most on this list, I do not think Jack is underrated. He has a good haul of offers, and it'll be very interesting to see where he ends up committing. In the past week alone, Jack has picked up offers from Grand Valley State and Bucknell. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack's abilities are well-documented. He's a 6'4" 235lb TE who can do it all. He's a far above-average route runner, and importantly, has consistent hands. Additionally, he's gotten even better at blocking this past season. He also has a ton of upside on the defensive side of the ball, likely as an outside linebacker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298755"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693ca7661ca13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I remain shocked that nobody has offered Max. This is a D-Lineman with elite motor, good anchor, and developing bend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seriously, watch <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18122153/691a1d2a1e12c59908cd9df7">Max's tape</a> and tell me you know of any unoffered prospects with his motor. He's a sideline-to-sideline defender as a DE/DT. Plus, he's got good examples of anchor and agility against great programs like Rochester Adams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'd still recommend Max to any D3 program. He's likely my highest-ranked player with zero traction in the recruiting space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613561"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-693ca7661ca66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had to come back to this eval because Mattia just earned an offer from Ferris State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Well, high D2 is exactly where I think Mattia belongs. The Groves lineman did an excellent job this season leading the O-Line unit. He's an especially good run blocker and has the agility to develop into a high-end pass blocker. I feel that a high-end D2 program would be perfect for Mattia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
