2009 Michigan Football Prospects

Courtesy of Scout as of 8/2/07

1 Larry Caper RB
Battle Creek Central
5'11 210
Still our top guy, Caper has something to prove after being injured last season and only playing in four games. But with his size and speed, he should have a big year.

2 James Jackson CB/WR
Grand Ledge
5'11 170
No one is faster and Jackson is proving that he isn't just a track star playing football. He can go up and get the ball and is also a willing blocker.

3 Hersey Jackson RB/FB
Allendale
6'1 215
There are some mixed opinions on Hersey and yes, he may have to be in the right system in college to succeed at tailback, but he is a big, strong kid who runs hard and has impressive breakaway speed considering his size.

4 Dion Sims WR/TE
Orchard Lake St. Mary's
6'5 230
This class' top two-way star, Sims could be big time in both football and basketball at the next level. Is he a WR or a TE? He is starting to outgrow wideout, but we'll see how he performs this season as a split.

5 William Campbell DT/OT
Detroit Cass Tech
6'5 320
Big Will has all the tools to top this list. He was raw when we saw him last season, and improving when we saw him again this summer, if that trend continues this season, he'll continue to rise.

6 Mike Schaaf QB
Saginaw Arthur Hill
6'7 220

7 Ricky Clemons OT
Flint Carman-Ainsworth
6'5 315

8 Chris Norman ILB
Detroit Renaissance
6'2 220
Another big riser, remember this name...Norman is already getting mail from schools on both coasts and after seeing him run down ball carriers from sideline to sideline, we're on board!

9 Cameron Gordon WR
Melvindale
6'3 190

10 Reid Fragel TE/DE
Grosse Pointe South
6'7 235

11 Teric Jones RB
Detroit Cass Tech
5'10 181

12 Aaron McCord G/DE
Detroit Crockett
6'3 245

13 Andrew Maxwell QB
Midland
6'3 175

14 Raynell Brown DE

15 Shamari Benton S/LB

16 Brock Reynolds CB/FS
Battle Creek Central
5'11 175

17 Undra Peterson RB
Adrian
5'11 175

18 Khyran Major RB

5'10 165

19 Christian Brandt OT/DT
Orchard Lake St. Mary's
6'5 250

20 Torsten Boss DB/WR
Lowell
6'0 170
He'll be the quarterback this year, although his college position is likely at WR or DB. However, football might not even be in his future as he is also a top baseball prospect.

21 Dennis Martin QB
Detroit Mumford
6'2 185

22 Isaiah Grimes QB
South Haven
6'6 210

23 Leo Wilson SS
Farmington Hills Harrison
5'11 191
A tackling machine from his OLB spot, Wilson is a tweener right now, but with his toughness and hitting ability, he'll have a home at the next level.

24
Zak Wasserman QB
Stevensville Lakeshore
6'4 215

25 Tevin Conrad OT
Detroit Pershing
6'6 310

26 Omari Humes WR/DB
Saginaw Arthur Hill
6'3 175

27 Adrian Bouyer SS
Battle Creek Lakeview
6'2 180

28 Donald SpencerWR
Ypsilanti
6'2 175
Big and strong, Spencer has to refine his game, but he has a lot of ability.

29 Gabe Helmuth QB/LB
Saline
6'1 185

30 Donnell Davis LB/SS
Farmington Hills Harrison
5'11 190

31 Delano Collins CB
Detroit Renaissance
5'10 182

32 Kenny McDaniels LB/DE
Muskegon Heights
6'2 255
A big backer who can run, McDaniels is going to play some defensive end this year and that will probably be his spot at the next level as he continues to grow.

33 Stephen Todd G/DT
Detroit Denby
6'0 290

34 Bruce Watson TE/OT
Detroit Southeastern
6'7 320

35 Ian Thomas QB

Saginaw Arthur Hill
6'0 190

38 Antwan Dixon FB/LB
Detroit Southeastern
6'3 230

39 Dana Dixon FS
Detroit Renaissance
6'2 175

40 Anquan Clemmons CB
Grand Blanc
5'10 150
A great cover corner, Clemmons would rate higher if he were bigger, but if he can continue to get stronger, he'll develop into a fine college prospect.

41 Jason Pratt QB
Merrill
6'6 170

42 Casey Blackport QB
Hudsonville
6'3 185

43 James Johnson DT
Inkster

Rockford
6'2 265

50 Dimeko Price RB
Battle Creek Lakeview
5'9 170

51 Donte Cherry RB
Detroit Osborn
5'10 207
A big back with a strong, compact build, Cherry is a real sleeper right now, but once he hits more camps and combines next spring/summer, that should change.

5'11 170

53 Lance Atterberry DT
Southfield
6'2 275
