Tomarion hasn’t impressed me a great deal during the regular season yet, but his offseason efforts and Division 1 offers prove that he’s about to take off. His lifting numbers are amazing, with a 625lb deadlift, 500lb squat, and 300lb bench. His film shows very good contact balance as well as good vision. Next season I expect Tomarion to take a massive step up with his actual stats.
Highlights
Traverse has been an extremely impressive receiver since before his freshman season. Watching him at the MHSAA Evaluation Camps last summer, he was incredibly explosive, physical, and high effort. More performances like that will earn him more Division 1 attention. You can’t coach effort or physicality, and he straight-up has those traits. Love Traverse’s potential, always have, and I’m excited to see what he’s able to do this offseason.
Tommy is the presumative starting quarterback for Saline next season. Considering what I’ve seen of Tommy on film and his older brother CJ, I expect Tommy to have a phenomenal career at Saline. Tommy runs that pro-style spread offense at Saline very well. He stands in the pocket, reads the field, and gets the ball out quickly, which are all things I really value in a quarterback. I understand that much of that is the scheme, but I’d argue that your high school’s scheme is very important for college recruiting. Tommy is a sleeping giant in this class, and if he starts, he will have very good numbers.
Another big-time quarterback finally set to start is Jaxson Dosh Jaxson Dosh 6’0″ | 185 lbs | QB Davison | 2026 State MI . I’ve talked about Jaxson a few time recently, and there’s not much more I have to say that I haven’t already said. He seems to be very athletic, good measurements, and he’s been training his butt off in the offseason. I can’t say much about his fundamentals, how he can read a defense, etc, but I am quite optimistic about his future. Next season should be an extremely fun ride for him, and I can’t wait to see Jaxson finally lead Davison as QB1.
Highlights
Anthony looks like QB2 for De La Salle right now, but at this point, I could see him show off his skills at just about any skill position. As a Quarterback I love his versatility. He can make the throws in the pocket but he can also wreak havoc in the open field as a runner. He’s spent some time at RB last season, but I know that RB room was quite banged up last season. Whatever position he plays, I know he’s a starting-caliber player who will perform well.
