Romeo:

2019 MLB/RB Brock Horne is the lone player ranked in the state in this game as he's our #15 ranked player in the Class of 2019 and the #1 MLB in the state. Horne is a hard-nosed 6'2 210 lbs prospect who is a sure-tackler, covers extremely well for a LB, and can be a factor offensively as well. He holds 11 various offers and is very close to being offered by Michigan State.

2020 LB Bryce Tinson is a 6'1 215 lbs LB who is someone we look forward to seeing for the first time.

2021 OT Weston Jones is a handful of young potential prospects for the Bulldogs. The sophomore is 6'4 255 lbs and recently visited Michigan State.

2019 TE Eric Fraeyman is a 6'4 225 lbs Tight End prospect who caught our attention as a sophomore. Fraeyman is an athletic TE who can catch and block well. We're honestly dumbfounded that he has no offers yet.

2019 S Ryan Heimbuch is an overlooked Safety prospect and this point, a dual-sport athlete who will be active in defending Dakota's potent passing offense and also needing to worry about their running game.

2019 OLB Cole Karwowicz is a 5'11 180 lbs instinctive and smart LB prospect.

2020 OC/OG Neil Shaw III is a nice 6'1 265 lbs interior lineman prospect who gets after it and is fundamentally solid.

2019 OLB Zef Djurasevic is a 6' 200 lbs OLB with a good motor.

2019 Slot/RB Eric Meldrum is a shifty playmaker who Romeo will use to exploit the perimeter and utilize his speed.

Dakota:

2019 WR Brandon Michalak holds an offer from Michigan Tech and Concordia-Ann Arbor. The 6'2 170 lbs prospect has good speed. Michalak has been extremely productive this year with just under 650 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. Michalak has been one of the most productive receivers in the state this year.

2019 WR Dustin Solomon is a 5'10 175 lbs RB/Slot/DB prospect who has strong Division III interest now. Solomon has over 1,000 yards of total offense and can make plays in all 3 phases of the game.

2019 LB Jeremiah Major who is 6'1 245 lbs runs a 4.67 40-yard dash. Major is one of the most productive players and has 70 tackles this year. Major is involved in everything!

2021 DB/RB De'javion "DJ" Stepney is a 6' 177 lbs sophomore who has been a very important piece to Dakota's success this year on defense. Stepney figures to be one of the top sophomores in the state.
