Fall Is Just Around The Corner

Burney's 2015 OC Offseason Prep Football Player Power Index

1 Khalid Kareem (FH Harrison Sr. DE) – Most destructive pure pass-rush prodigy this area has seen in a long time, had 19 sacks in '14, owns almost 20 FBS scholarship offers

2 Josh Ross (OL St. Mary's Jr. LB) – Bone-crushing specimen sideline-to-sideline, intelligent, instinctive playmaker and leader, genuine winner and workhorse, on and off the field……one of the best linebacking prospects in the whole Midwest

3 Trishton Jackson (West Bloomfield Sr. QB) – His nickname is "Action Jackson" and he's the best dual-threat quarterback in Metro Detroit, hands down!!

4 Matt Falcon (Southfield Sr. RB) – Possesses all the tools to be a superstar both with the 'Jays at the HS level and whichever of the many FBS schools in college recruiting him that he ends up inking with next February…injury-plagued seasons as a soph and junior, have only produced flashes of brilliance that will be coming into full bloom this fall

5 Dez Fitzpatrick (Farmington Sr. WR) – Elite split end with game-changing skills and tenacious work ethic, outthinks and out-hustles the opposition, the ultimate student of the wide receiver position committed to Louisville

6 K.J. Hamler (OL St. Mary's Jr. WR) – Best slot receiver in Metro Detroit, bar none, can decimate defensive backs going deep or across the middle, maybe the No. 1 return-specialist in the OC as well

7 Emmanuel Jackson (Novi Sr. ATH) – The 'E' stands for ELECTRICITY…..he's simply electric whenever he's got the football….. this kid's got the JUICE to light up the whole westside of Oakland County…..his moves & cutbacks leave opposing tacklers in the dust…oh and he has sprinter-type wheels and breakaway burners

8 David Reese (Farmington Sr. LB) – Fast-rising, versatile talent who is imposing and relentless in tracking down ball-carriers, catchers and quarterbacks alike

9 Nolan Eriksen (Clarkston Sr. RB) – Speed-&-Power combo toting the rock for two-time defending D1 state champion C-Town,

10 Kyle Thomas (WL Western Sr. QB) – Stat-mongering signal-caller who is fierce, fleet-footed, smart, savvy, poised, precise and has PRIMETIME written all over his game
