Name to know — Shot out of a cannon
Orchard Lake St. Mary’s sophomore linebacker Jordan Cannon is in the mold of the Ross brothers, just plain savagery sideline to sideline. Cannon (6-0, 200) plays mostly at the middle linebacker spot, but has the versatility to play outside or inside. Michigan offered him a scholarship over the weekend, hoping he’ll follow in the Ross boys and head off to Ann Arbor for college.
Launch Pad City
Birmingham Groves sophomore wide receiver Jaden Mangham is blowing up big-time on the recruiting trail. Mangham (6-3, 190) has gathered a half-dozen high-major offers this month: Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Minnesota, Indiana and West Virginia all came in with bids. This kid is a home-run threat the second he steps on the field.
