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

60. Detroit King 2018 DE Maurice White - Toledo

- One of the several monsters on King's defensive front is the versatile, Maurice White. At 6'5" 250 lbs White is able play either DE or DT. White has the motor set in place to dominate.

College interest: White earned 8 offers before he committed Toledo in the first week of June.

59. Belleville 2020 CB/WR Andre Seldon

- Seldon is a young and explosive CB who will shoot up the rankings in the near future. Seldon comes in as a sophomore and will play alongside 3 other D1 commits in the Belleville secondary. Seldon is a freak in coverage and should emerge as a nice playmaker during the Fall on both sides of the ball.

- College interest: Seldon was offered by Kentucky early. Things will pick up even more as a sophomore.

58. Waterford Mott 2018 QB David McCullum

- Waterford Mott returns a strong squad and their offense will revolve around a very skilled player in David McCullum. McCullum is a strong dual-threat QB who spreads the ball well and can escape the pocket well. Expect a 2,000+ passing and 1,000+ rushing season from McCullum.

College interest: Louisville offered in the Fall of his junior season, but McCullum remains uncommitted and we'll see what happens from here.

58. Belleville 2019 LB/DE Jalen Hunt

- It's tougher to find a prospect more prepared physically than Hunt. The Tigers will be on a hunt for great things this year and no player tracks and attacks the ball on the defense better than Hunt. With 2 full years ahead, it's tough to project his next level position as he's already 6'2 235 lbs.

College interest: Hunt's first offer was from SEC program Kentucky followed by a Big 12 and ACC offer. Hunt is going be a household name after his junior season.

56. Detroit Central 2018 QB El Julian Jordan - Western Michigan

- The Trailblazers have an incredible piece at QB with El Julian Jordan returning. The former King QB has been nothing short of impressive since making his mark last year. Jordan has a top recruit in Jerrod Vines next to him as well as one of the most impressive athletes in the state in DJ Adkins. Look for a record breaking year from Jordan.

College interest: Jordan earned 3 MAC offers before shutting down his recruiting process in the Spring by committing to Western Michigan. Jordan has never really been coached at the position so he is extremely raw.

55. Detroit King 2019 QB Dequan Finn

- As a sophomore QB, nothing can be more validating than leading your team to a Division 2 state championship. That's what Finn did when he stepped into a vacant QB opening when former Offensive Player of the Year, Armani Posey graduated. Finn at 6'1" 180 lbs is at a pretty good size for a dual-threat QB.

College interest: Finn finally received his first offer from Sun Belt program, Arkansas State. Don't even get us started on why that's his lone offer!

54. Oak Park 2018 DB Robert Daniel

- The longtime Oak Park DB will hopefully cap off his senior season with a bang. Daniels possesses good length and size. Many are shocked to see his recruitment be so stagnant thus far so look for a more explosive Daniel' to start off his senior season.

College interest: Daniel' announced a top 5 of; Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Miami Ohio, and Western Michigan in June. Daniel is still in play for Power 5 offers, so stay tuned for his senior season.

53. Essexville-Garber 2018 WR/TE Ben VanSumeren

- The Dukes have a special talent in the 6'4" 215 lbs Ben VanSumeren. VanSumeren is perfect package at WR/TE where he has the speed to be a huge mismatch with whomever he is lined up across from.

College interest: VanSumeren has 9 offers that range from all over the place. A lot of schools are going to be fully tuned in on his senior season as he's still on many schools recruiting board.

52. Cass Tech 2019 WR/DB Kyron McKinnie-Harper

- Cass Tech will have their next elite stud right here. There are no if's, and's, or but's with McKinnie-Harper. At receiver he is really shifty and tough for defenders to match his abilities and they have problems with how physical he is. As a cornerback he translates those skills plus can utilize his ball skills.

College interest: McKinnie-Harper has a handful of offers now but in a few months it should be tripled.

51. Belleville 2018 DB Pat Lupro - Bowling Green State

- Lupro is a super quick, aggressive, and strong corner who doesn't back down from anyone. Lupro has good closing speed as well, making him even more dangerous.

College interest: Lupro is committed to Bowling Green State. With a healthy senior season it will be interesting to see who enters the picture with the longtime Falcons commit.
