Ottawa-Kent Area Seniors Ready for Takeoff in 2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Grand Rapids Area is one of the most talent rich places in American that gets underrecruited. I have seen many prospects get overlooked and stand out at MAC or D2 schools. Below are a few of the guys that will be can't-miss this fall! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["736040"],"_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-698f752c56aef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The latest highlights from Bryce show a bunch of great flashes. Caledonia allows him to get out and move the pocket which he executes well. His arm is strong and he delivers with good velocity. His trigger is pretty quick, and he hits timing routes with ease. Whether it be leading his guy downfield or threading the ball through a tight window, Bryce has shown he is able to do it. I think this season is the one where the game really slows down for him and he takes that next step in his progression. The size and physical talent is there, now it's' about execution. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1550079"],"_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-698f752c56b4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunter has started gaining a ton of traction on the recruiting trail, and for good reason. I think a MAC team would get a steal with this dude. He's big, physical and versatile. I think he can play anywhere on the offensive line and be just fine. His first step is quick, and his punch is violent. When he pulls, he gets where he's going in a hurry and delivers massive power. He's a pancake machine that should have an unbelievable 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613863"],"_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-698f752c56b9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abel is an interesting athlete with a ton of upside. I love his ability to execute nice back shoulder throws and have good accuracy. Even when throwing across his body on the run, he seems to put the ball in good spots. On top of that, he's incredibly athletic. If defensive backs turn their back to him, he will have a field day racking up yards on the ground. Truly, Anaya is ideal for an open RPO system. West Ottawa has been making strides as a program, and I think Abel should take a big leap this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613796"],"_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-698f752c56be1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am very familiar with Owen after scouting him multiple times. Every time I watch him, I am more confident in my assessment. Owen is a good deep threat that runs solid routes and has hands for days. His athleticism and ability to make contested catches is definitely on the higher end. I think his senior season will allow him to make the jump into an extremely productive wideout. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1687404"],"_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-698f752c56c27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When you're looking for a nasty offensive lineman that loves to be physical and dominate his opponents, keep Caleb in mind. From the guard position, this dude is strong, and also very mobile. When he pulls, he wastes no movement and delivers a punishing blow when he finds an opponent. There are also a number of his highlights that showcase his ability to put a defensive lineman on his back, and elevate to the 2nd level to continue grading a path to the end zone. Caleb has the physical and mental tools to be a steal in a years' time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
