Class of 2015
Wesley French 6-5 295 Sr DL St. Joseph
Some have him on the offensive line, we like French better defensively. He has the size and demeanor to thrive at tackle. French plays with an edge and is explosive in short space. He has offers from Ball State, Buffalo, CMU, Toledo and WMU. Some good early video and French, the Lake Area’s No. 2 ranked senior, could solidfy Big Ten interest.

Jacob Geter 5-8 170 RB Plainwell
From a school known for its size and power football, Plainwell’s top college prospect is a scat back and kick-returner. What makes Geter so good is he thinks he’s the biggest kid on the field. Oh, that and 4.37 40 speed. He’s explosive, quick and shifty. Geter’s .m.o. is common among the Lake Area’s top senior running backs, as the 2015 class leans to small and fast over power runners.

Trevor Raby 6-4 240 Sr TE/OL Zeeland West
Despite defending the Division 3 state championship, Zeeland West didn’t get much preseason respect from the Detroit Media Mafia. They’ll get reacquainted soon enough, when Detroit Country Day calls in the score from today’s sure to be butt-whoopin’ on the Westside. It will happen because of players like Raby, a standout tackle in 2013 who will move one spot over and try his hand at tight end as a senior. He’s not the next Jordan VanDort and doesn’t have to be. Raby is an athletic technician who is a top 10 senior prospect at two positions, tight end and offensive line.

Class of 2016
Michael VanHoeven 6-5 277 Jr OL Paw Paw
VanHoeven was already an all-conference guard after his sophomore season, and has put on 20 pounds since. That’s going to be a problem for the Wolverin B, as he’s a big hitter and plays through the whistle. The Lake Area is loaded with linemen for the 2016 class. Everyone knows about No. 1 Thiyo Lukusa, with offers from UM, Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Lukusa’s Traverse City West teammate, Jake Cerny, has offers from CMU and WMU and will get BCS attention, and we have VanHoeven standwiched between that Big North pair in the rankings.
