2028 Mid Michigan Edition:

Lets take a trip up U.S 127 highway and take a look at some under the radar players who I think may raise there stock this fall and make this roadway a more common road for college coaches.    Troy is a player that does a lot of things right on film. Troy does a nice job showing good natural instincts and reads and reacts to plays as they unfold. Troy is a very cerebral player but has the physical tools to make plays at the line of scrimmage. Troy gives up a little size but shows no fear taking on lineman shedding blocks and making the play. Troy also does a nice job in the passing game and shows good form in dropping into coverage and making plays on the ball. Keep an eye on troy as the season starts and expect to hear is name called a lot on Friday nights for the Bulldogs.     Channing is a player that pops on film at every clip. The junior Dewitt running back is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. One glance at Channing at the first thing you notice is the pure speed that he possess. Channing is not a one trick pony however. On multiple clips Channing breaks multiple tackles displaying excellent power for a young back. Channing is also dangerous in the pass game showing good route running ability and showing good hands as well. Dewitt is expected to be dangerous this fall and Channing will be a big part of there success.     Noel is a kid that started as a sophomore for the state runners up mount pleasant oilers last year. Noel put up excellent numbers in his first year as a starter. Noel had 5 picks as a starter and delivered a few bone crunching hits. I like noel's ability to read a quarterback's eyes and break on the ball and make a play whether its batting it down of picking it off. Another thing that is very impressive for a young defensive back is his ability to not panic when a wideout gains a bit of separation. Keep an eye on the Oilers this fall and watch out for Noel as I see another big year ahead and his stock to rise as the season progresses.     Bentley is a kid that is a bit of an unknown to many people but make no mistake this young Bluejay can play. Bentley had his sophomore year cut short due to injury but was having a very solid season to that point. I really like Bentleys route running ability and his ability to make a short pass turn into a big play. Bentley also plays Defensive back for the Bluejays and has turned into a very good player on that side of the ball. Bentley is a player to keep an eye on as the season staIf he can stay healthy I expect his numbers to rise well above last years production and become a player that college coaches will make the voyage to Shepherd to see.     Penn is a player I really like his overall upside. Penn has proven to be a dangerous dual threat quarterback. This first thing you notice about Penn is his ability to extend a play with his feet. Penn does a good job keeping his eyes down field as the pocket breaks down, and when nothing is there he makes positive yards to not take big losses. I really like penn's arm also. He makes good throws in the pocket and also tough throws on the run. Keep an eye on Penn this fall. He has all the makings of a player ready to blow up and putting up major numbers for the Panthers.
