Continue ReadingEarlier today, I had the pleasure of driving up the road to see Grand Valley State’s first prospect camp of the summer. This was a massive camp that featured over 200 athletes from several states. Below, I’ll quickly list my impressions of seven more prosects from this camp. For my first article covering this camp, click here.
Note- This was a massive camp. At camps like these, I tend to focus on one position group. It’s impossible for me to get a good look at everybody. This time, I focused my attention on OL/DL.
Impressions
G/C | Greg Myles | Haslett | @Greg_Myles
(78Black)
- Another great camp
- Fluid, consistent footwork
- Strong upper-body and legs; able to anchor very well
- Good initial punch; could improve
- Moves extremely well for his size
- Height & Measurements limiting his recruiting
- Elite D2 prospect; Will have good ranking next update
T | Brendan Van Syckle Brendan Van Syckle 6'6" | 320 lbs | OL Harper Creek | 2025 MI | Harper Creek | @BrendenV2007
(74White)
- Ideal size
- Did not move very well
- Inconsistent 1on1s; took coaching well
- Sky’s the limit, but it will be a project at the next level.
T | Talon Smith Talon Smith 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL Marquette | 2025 MI | Marquette | @TalonSm63176950
(51Black)
- Very obvious interest from GVSU
- Ideal size; just above-average agility
- Consistent, about average footwork
- Balanced and does not give anything up easy
- OK recovery; needs to work on punch and precision
- Wouldn’t be shocked if GV offers
- Current abilities aren’t elite but has a very high ceiling
DT | Cooper Pyle Cooper Pyle 6'3" | 300 lbs | OL Hartland | 2025 State MI | Hartland | @CooperPyle47
(2Blue)
- Another successful camp, this time against better competition
- Good athlete
- Consistent, explosive getoff
- Could bulk up and be an amazing DT at next level
- Needs to work on rush after first move fails
- Solid GLIAC Evaluation
’26 OLB/DE | Levi Silvernale Levi Silvernale 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Forest Hills Northern | 2026 MI | Forest Hills Northern | @levi_silvernale
(71White)
- One of the biggest standouts from my Hudl Discoveries series
- Great explosiveness during drills
- Solid in agility drills, needs to get better COD
- Extremely inexperienced with pass rush
- Needs to work on all rush fundamentals (stance, getoff, moves, etc)
- No pass rush moves to speak of
- STILL high-upside athlete and I LOVE his film
- Will be a GLIAC prospect in a year if he keeps working; I know he’s working hard
- I like Levi as a hybrid OLB
WR | William Korenstra | Grand Haven | @WKorenstra
(2Black)
- Great build
- Great athletesism
- All-around great traits
- Very undisciplined route runner
- I admittedly underestimated his traits and upside
- A high-upside but very raw GLIAC prospect
DB | Jeremiah Powers Jeremiah Powers 5'11" | 275 lbs | OL Detroit King | 2025 MI | Lincoln-Way East (IL) | @jeremiahdpowers
(13Blue)
- The best DB from the few drills I watched
- Extremely fluid, effortless change of direction
- Looks extremely athletic
- Very upset I didn’t get to watch him during competition portion
- Extremely surprised to see ZERO offers on his Twitter
