Add comment(#91-100) The D Zone's Michigan High School Football Pre-Season Player Rankings
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
100. West Bloomfield 2020 WR Christian Fitzpatrick
- The brother of Louisville WR Desmond Fitzpatrick will make his varsity debut this year for West Bloomfield after a freshman season on JV. Fitzpatrick is strong in his routes and his hand coordination is also strong for being a sophomore.
College interest: Fitzpatrick holds a few early offers ranging from all across the country already and will be sure to attract more and more attention the next 3 years.
99. Grosse Pointe South 2018 K/P Cam Shook - Navy
- The Class of 2018 has a few very strong kickers, but Shook tops our list as the 6'2" 180 lbs kicker looks more like a receiver in-person. Shook excels in all parts of special teams.
College interest: Shook held service academy offers from Navy and Air Force. He committed to Navy upon the completion of camp season.
98. West Bloomfield 2018 TE/WR James Faulkner
- The Lakers TE rounds out the top 100 players in Michigan as Faulkner is a very lethal TE prospect who can burn teams with his size and speed combination.
College interest: Faulkner holds 4 FCS offers and all 4 colleges need to be praying that a bigger college doesn't wake up and notice Faulkner.
97. Oak Park 2020 WR/S Maliq Carr
- Carr will be a no-doubt top recruit in both basketball and football when all is said and done with his high school career. At 6'6" 200 lbs Carr has not even come close to scraping his potential as a football player and his sophomore season should make some people believers. Carr also kicks and punts.
College interest: Syracuse offered Carr and a handful of teammates this Spring. Carr will draw plenty of interest these next 3 years.
96. Flint Carman-Ainsworth 2019 DE Mike Fletcher
- Fletcher coincidentally is a player that is receiving offers for both football and basketball. The towering DE prospect is built like he's entering college and his hard work this off-season should translate to on-field success.
College interest: Toledo identified his talents first when they offered early in June following their camp. Toledo is among 2 other MAC schools who offered as well as Big 10 program, Iowa State.
95. Oak Park 2019 DB/RB Torriano Richardson
- The brother of Tennessee RB John Kelly has been very good for Oak Park thus far, but expect greater things from Richardson this year as he's a solid corner and very physical. He'll also be a consistent ball carrier on offense. Richardson has the size, speed, and power.
College interest: Miami, Ohio has identified a good group of prospects early in Michigan and continued that trend by offering Richardson this past Spring. Richardson's junior season should open eyes.
94. Southfield A&T 2018 WR/CB Matt Gilbert
- Gilbert is a quick, long, and active receiver who always finds a way to create separation from defenders. As a cornerback he remains active and has very strong ball skills to make life tough for opponents.
College interest: Gilbert's 3 offers range from D1-FBS, FCS, and D2.
93. Muskegon Catholic Central 2020 ATH Cameron Martinez
- Just when the Crusaders looked like they were in trouble in the 2016 D8 title game they inserted Freshman, Cameron Martinez in at QB. Martinez quickly reversed the energy in the team and they wound up winning comfortably 35-6. Martinez is a player who is projected to play receiver or safety in college.
College interest: Martinez made headlines last year when he entered high school with a Central Michigan offer. He earned a Buffalo offer over this off-season as well.
92. Novi 2018 WR Traveon Maddox - Oakland, basketball
- Maddox is a phenomenal two-sport athlete who attracted offers in both sports. Maddox earlier this week made his decision regarding his college commitment. Maddox is a long and rangy WR who has the ability make life miserable for opposing defenses.
- College interest: It took late in the off-season, but Maddox received a few MAC football offers and then Basketball offers came in as well. Maddox decided that he wanted to pursue basketball at Oakland.
91. Chelsea 2018 DE Ronnie Buford - Western Michigan
- Buford was listed as a QB when we first started paying attention to him this off-season. Buford was a top performer at the Legacy Combine and then Camp Pride the following week which ensured he would be on the map. Buford is a rangy, fast, and athletic defensive end who is saving his best for his senior season.
- College interest: Buford earned 4 offers this winter from the MAC. Western Michigan was the latest to offer and Buford committed to the Broncos.
