6. Brennan Parachek – TE – Dexter (MI) Dexter Height: 6’6″ Weight: 235 lbs. Notable offers: Indiana, Kentucky, Pitt Commitment: Michigan State 247 Composite: 4-star, #18 TE, #337 overall Analysis: Paracheck is a traditional in-line tight end with good size. He should easily be able to carry 250-260 pounds in college. Parachek does not have much burst or suddenness to his game, even against so-so high school talent, so I would not expect him to become a dynamic receiving threat. He seems to be a guy who might end up averaging 9 or 10 yards per catch while being used mostly as a blocker. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if he were to put on even more weight and end up as an offensive lineman at the next level. He’s also a teammate of 2023 running back Cole Cabana (Michigan), who is #4 in the state. Highlights:HERE
Jamarious Brown – DE – Moss Point (MS) Moss Point: Brown is a 6’3″, 250 lb. prospect with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, and Florida State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #26 edge player, and #323 overall. Mississippi is a black hole for Michigan recruiting, so I wouldn’t expect this to go much of anywhere.
Koby Keenum – OG – Florence (AL) Mars Hill: Keenum is a 6’4″, 300-pounder with offers from Florida State, Notre Dame, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #52 offensive tackle, and #578 overall.
Elijah Paige – OT – Phoenix (AZ) Pinnacle: Paige is a 6’6″, 290 lb. prospect with offers from the big in-state schools, Notre Dame, Penn State, and USC, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #40 offensive tackle, and #499 overall. If Pinnacle sounds familiar, it’s a pretty successful high school program in Arizona produced former Michigan quarterback commit J.D. Johnson and, less importantly, jerkface Spencer Rattler.
If you read this site or are into Michigan recruiting, you probably know the names at the top of this in-state list. The ranking/order are according to the 247 Composite. I can tell you right now that I would rearrange this top five list, but until I complete my rundown of the top players in the state, I won’t really put them in order.
1. Dante Moore – QB – Detroit (MI) King Height: 6’2″ Weight: 195 lbs. Notable offers: LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State Commitment: Uncommitted 247 Composite: 5-star, #3 QB, #6 overall Analysis: Moore is a national prospect at the quarterback position and has been a widely known name for several years. He has very good anticipation and touch, along with having adequate arm strength and athleticism. He’s not a dynamic athlete with his feet, but he’s a good athlete who can move in the pocket and has really refined his footwork. He appears to be one of the most college-ready quarterbacks to come out of Michigan in a long time. Wherever he goes, he will probably be in the conversation to start by year two at the latest. Moore grew up an Ohio State fan, gets private coaching from former Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner, and has good relationships with the coaches at Notre Dame. So his future destination is up in the air right now in a hotly contested battle.

HIGH SCHOOL Hinton always had the spotlight on him, considering he’s the son of former 1st round NFL draft pick Chris Hinton. He attended Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian and was a 5-star, the #4 defensive tackle, and #31 overall in the class of 2019. Originally rated as a strongside end – which confused me at the time – he eventually ended up ranked as a DT, where he finished up behind Zacch Pickens (South Carolina), DeMarvin Leal (Texas A&M), and Travon Walker (Georgia); Pickens is returning to South Carolina, while Leal and Walker joined Hinton in declaring for the draft after three years. Here’s my original commitment post (LINK) and a link to the final TTB Ratings for 2019, where I gave him a 90 (LINK)
