Brayden is a small-town QB with phenomenal potential. First off, you’ve got to love the size at 6’5″ 200. Brayden throws a beautiful spiral, has well-above average throw power, and accuracy. He also does his best to get the ball out quickly and knows how to read the field. Just based on his highlight tape, Brayden looks like a Division 2 Quarterback prospect.
Jayden is one of the best dual-sport athletes in Michigan. His 2023 stats aren’t going to jump off the page, but his athleticism, basketball talent, size, and blocking abilities make him a Division 1 prospect. 6’6″ 220 is already phenomenal, but combine that with his work on the hardwood, and you can envision an elite TE before he even steps on a football field. His film shows an amazing route running for a TE, and it’s apparent that he’s one of the most athletic TEs to come out of Michigan in several years.
Demarion was a discovery from my Hudl Discoveries article series. His deep-threat ability really jumped off the page for me. He has the size, athletesism, speed, hands, and body control to be a Division 2 receiver at the very least. Hopefully he’s able to keep showing off his abilities this offseason, as he deserves college attention.
Highlights
Nathan has one of the highest ceilings of any defensive lineman. A quick look at his twitter will make you lean forward in your seat. 6’5″ 245 with a wrestling background. He also puts up massive weight in the weight room. He has all of the physical tools to be a Division 1 EDGE rusher. Fundamentally and technically, he’s a raw prospect. He’s able to overpower most opposing linemen, and he has decent instincts. Nathan still needs to learn how to get around blocks, be a more explosive player, etc. Right now, I’d recommend him to any Division 2 team who doesn’t mind taking a high-upside project.
Highlights
Jacob was probably the most well-rounded interior defensive lineman I watched last season. There are a lot of great things you can say about De La Salle, but one thing that’s always stood out to me with these Dan Rohn teams is how well-conditioned the players are. I watch a lot of interior defensive lineman who can dominate for the first few plays of every drive, but they quickly become winded. Not Jacob. He’s someone who has a great motor, is agile, yet also has the strength to anchor himself and stop the run. Jacob can play just about anywhere on the D-Line, and I think he has Power 5 upside at DT and DE.
