Published
08/24/2017

The D Zone will be releasing our Top 151 football players in Michigan from the Classes of 2018 to 2020 over the next several days.

The list is based off of our evaluations throughout the off-season and various recruiting events like Mega camps (bigger college camps, Camp Pride, etc. where the top recruits attend and perform vs. equal or better competition played a major role in a lot of our decisions).

Stay tuned also for a major announcement and more rankings to be unveiled exclusively on The D Zone and our social media platforms prior to and during the season.

- List of complete #1-151 Player Rankings and more

140. Renaissance 2018 WR Cameron Childress

- Childress returns as one of the most overlooked players in the PSL as the explosive receiver prospect is a catch away from turning nothing into something.

- College interest: Childress has drawn a variety of offers from schools across most of the affiliates of the college football world (FBS, FCS, NAIA, and D3)

139. East English Village 2019 RB/CB Jordan Anderson

- The Bulldogs were one of the best 5-4 teams in the state last season and with many of those players returning, the future is bright for EEVPA. Anderson is a nice physical and aggressive player who had success on both sides of the ball last year as a sophomore and is expected to have a breakout year in 2017.

College interest: Anderson holds an offer from Syracuse during a Spring visit and hears from other schools, but his recruiting process could spike with an impressive junior season.

138. Detroit King 2018 LB KamRon Austion

- Austion is a heat seeking missile and a true throwback at the LB position. Austion comes from Gibraltar Carlson and will look to make an impact as a senior on the back-to-back defending D2 champs, King.

College interest: The 5'11" 220 lbs LB despite being undersized makes up for it with a ferocious playing style that has resulted in a handful of FCS offers.

137. West Bloomfield 2018 DB Rich Sanders

- After missing all of the 2016 season after transferring from Texas, Sanders is ready to eat the fruits of his labor. Sanders is a versatile defender who can line up in several DB roles as well as an OLB in packages so it will be exciting to see him hit the field after being forced to sit for so long.

- College interest: Sanders earned his lone offer from Akron in June. He's had a tough off-season with no junior film, so a good senior season will open doors.

136. East Kentwood 2018 LB Job Mayhue (No photo)

- Mayhue arose as a key contributor for East Kentwood which is one of the highest enrolled schools in the state. As a junior Mayhue had over 100 tackles and stands at 6'3" 210 lbs.

- College interest: Mayhue earned an offer after visiting Akron during the Spring. With two national recruits on his squad, Mayhue will have the chance to turn more heads his way.

135. Detroit Central 2018 LB/RB Brandon Cooper

- Cooper was offered his sophomore year by Akron while he was at King, but has since played at Madison as a junior and now will cap off his high school career at Central. Cooper is an explosive and strong LB/RB who just makes play after play.

- College interest: Cooper like mentioned above received an early offer from Akron, but has yet to draw more interest. His big play ability is too much to ignore, we'll see what lies ahead this Fall.

134. West Bloomfield 2018 DB Dwayne Thompson

- Not many defensive backs in the state have the versatility that Thompson has. Thompson can transition well between CB and S so it will make for an interesting senior season at West Bloomfield after being at Brother Rice prior.

College interest: Thompson holds a half-dozen FCS offers and will be in line for more and possibly FBS if he can make a few more schools a believer in him.

133. Detroit King 2019 WR Jalen Mcgaughy

- King has a young, athletic, and freakish specimen coming up in their system, Jalen Mcgaughy. Mcgaughy hasn't had a chance to make an impact yet but we look for him to run away from this pack and climb rankings once he fills up his frame more.

College interest: Mcgaughy earned his first and only offer from Northern Illinois over the summer, his junior season should open some eyes.

132. Brother Rice 2018 DE/OLB Michael Laurencelle (No photo)

- Laurencelle is a hybrid, DE/LB who can be plugged in a lot of different formations and packages to be a nightmare for opposing lineman. At 6'4" 230 lbs there is still room to grow and fill up his frame.

- College interest: Laurencelle holds several; D1-FBS and FCS offers. If he doesn't commit before the season he could be in line for more.

131. Belleville 2019 LB Marvin Ham

- Belleville has no shortage of talent on their squad. Incoming junior Marvin Ham excels wherever he's defensively lined up at and is looking to build off an impressive 80 tackle campaign as a sophomore.

- College interest: Ham's lone offer as of today is from Akron, but that number will spike up during or after his junior year.
