2022 DB/RB Christion Stokes is a 5'9 165 lbs Freshman playing on Varsity for the Pioneers.

Belleville:

2019 OT Devontae Dobbs is arguably the state's #1 prospect, as Dobbs is one of a few 5-star prospects in Michigan's Class of 2019. The D Zone has Dobbs at #2 in the 2019 class, the left side for 2021 QB Christian Dhue-Reid should always be safe and we look forward to seeing Dobbs have dozens of punishing blocks. Dobbs is committed to Michigan State.

2019 ATH Julian Barnett is ranked by The D Zone as the #7 prospect in the Class of 2019 as Barnett is in our opinion the best 2-way player in the state. The Michigan State commit is a solid 6'2 with a nice frame. Barnett is very fluid and athletic, so he makes for a great high school receiver and defensive back. We're very intrigued by what position he will play in college.

2019 DE/OLB Jalen Hunt rounds out of The D Zone's top 10 prospects in the 2019 class at #10 as the Iowa commit despite being 6'2 255 lbs is an athletic and fast player who can play multiple positions and not skip a beat.

2019 LB Marvin Ham is the #11 ranked player by The D Zone in the class of 2019 as Ham is a fast and athletic LB prospect at 6'1 215 lbs who can lay heavy hits and drop back well in coverage. Ham is committed to Boston College.

2019 DE Tyrece Woods Is a strong and powerful edge rusher that was a 3-year varsity starter for King before transferring to Belleville over the off-season. Woods is one of the best overall players around and is committed to Michigan. Woods is ranked as the 19th player in the Class of 2019 by The D Zone.

2019 DT Jalen Bell had a monsterous junior season last year at King with 71 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks in 2017. Bell is an extremely high-motored prospect and despite being 5'11 earned an offer from Akron which is where he is committed to. Bell is ranked by The D Zone as the #43 prospect in the Class of 2019.

2019 RB Khalid Crawford has been a consistently reliable RB for the Tigers as the 5'10 190 pound Crawford is a true gamer who is going to draw a lot of looks by D2 and NAIA schools.

2019 MLB Jaden Johnson is a nice prospect at 5'11 210 who moves sideline-to-sideline well and holds offers from Davenport and Lawrence Tech already.

2019 OLB Dylan Zagula is a 6'3 215 lbs prospect who was not too long ago a quarterback in his early years of high school but has filled up his frame nicely and will figure to attract a lot of attention during his senior season and after.

2020 CB Andre Seldon Jr is the lone commit in the Class of 2020 as he committed to Michigan over the summer following what has become a routine of great camp performances. The 5'8 CB is has as good coverage as we've ever seen in the state and locks down his entire side of the field. Seldon earlier this year had 3 interceptions in a game. Seldon is ranked as the #11 player in the Class of 2020 by The D Zone.

2020 CB/WR Michael Jenkins Jr. is the #38 player in the Class of 2020 and holds an offer from Central Michigan. Jenkins is a 6' 185 lbs prospect with good speed and ball skills.

2020 WR Jalen Williams is going to be a player we figure will rise tremendously in the rankings as he's currently at #43, Williams who is 6'3 195 lbs is unstoppable when he's dialed in with tremendous length and good speed. With Williams size and length, he's a go-to target for QB Christian Dhue-Reid.

2020 OG Sherrod Green is one of Belleville's interior maulers who at 6'1 310 lbs is too much for opposing lineman to handle. Green holds an early offer from D1-FCS program, Morgan State. Green is ranked as the #56 player in the Class of 2020.

2020 CB Travon Monroe is an upcoming CB for the Tigers that is fast and has good coverage skills.

2021 OT Damon Payne is The D Zone's top prospect in the Class of 2021 and for good reason as Payne is already a menacing sophomore figure at 6'4 275 lbs and will only continue to add muscle and athleticism. Payne has already earned offers from the 2018 National Championship teams, Alabama and Georgia.

2021 QB Christian Dhue-Reid started on Varsity last season for Belleville and has been sensational for Belleville as he's one of the leading passers in the state in yards and touchdown throws.

2021 Slot Deion Burks is an explosive Slot prospect who will be getting a lot of interest in the near future.

2021 OT Ramier Lewis is a 6'5 sophomore OT prospect who also plays basketball, and clearly moves well for his enormous size.

Fordson:

2019 OLB/WR Timothy Stallworth Jr is a 6'1 190 lbs prospect who holds 9 offers and is a key piece to the Tractors offense and defense after previously being at Walled Lake Western. Fordson will need to get a few big plays out of Stallworth on Friday. Stallworth is ranked as the #71 prospect in the class of 2019.

2019 RB/S Abraham Jaafar is a versatile playmaker for Fordson who can do it all if he needs to. The 5'8 175 lbs Jaafar is also a dangerous weapon in the Slot. Jaafar's lone offer at this point is from Lawrence Tech.

2020 RB/OLB James Wheeler is a 6'1 195 lbs prospect who is a fast and hard hitting prospect. Wheeler who was formerly at Detroit Central holds offers from: Bowling Green State, Northwood, and Davenport.

2019 OG/DT Mahdi Hazime is a transfer from Canada this off-season and picked up 7 offers over the off-season from various D1-FCS, D2, and NAIA schools. Hazime is 6'3 290 lbs and could see another spike in his recruiting process.

2019 QB Hussein Ajami is a very underrated QB prospect at this point. He's a dual-threat QB with a very strong arm and pretty good accuracy. Ajami holds an offer from Lawrence Tech and a Division III roster spot opportunity from Mount Union.

2019 OT Ali Jaber is a 6'7 330 lbs offensive tackle prospect with obviously great size and pretty good athleticism.

2019 DL Mouhamad Mehdi is an interior mauler for Fordson who is strong, fast, and causes problems. The 6'2 260 lbs Mehdi holds offers from Dayton and Cornell.

2019 DE/OLB/TE Mohamed Basma is a 6'4 240 lbs problem on the line as he's a high-motored prospect who gets after it. Basma has 8 TFL and 5 sacks so far this year. Basma holds D3 roster spots from: Hope, Mount Union, and Ohio Wesleyan.

2020 WR Malek Alshawabkeh is a 6'3 200 lbs receiver prospect who could open a lot of eyes this game vs. Belleville's stacked group of LB's and DB's.

2019 OLB/DE Moe Mokdad is a hard-nosed player who can move well too. The 6' 225 lbs prospect holds an offer from Lawrence Tech.

2019 MLB/RB Muhammad Hammoud is a nice 5'7 180 lbs prospect with Division III roster spots from Alma and Mount Union.
