11. Dylan Senda – OG – Dearborn (MI) Divine Child
Height: 6’5″
Weight: 275 lbs.
Notable offers: Kentucky, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State
Commitment: Northwestern
247 Composite: 3-star, #27 IOL, #451 overall
Analysis: Senda was strongly considering Michigan and Michigan State, but apparently he felt like the culture, academics, and playing opportunity were better in Evanston. He’s a decent sized interior offensive lineman, but I think there might be limitations on his size and strength, and I have some questions about his lateral movement.

12. Jameel Croft – S – Detroit (MI) King
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 165 lbs.
Notable offers: Indiana, Kentucky, Pitt, Tennessee
Commitment: Uncommitted
247 Composite: 3-star, #50 S, #583 overall
Analysis: Croft is a high school cornerback with good length and size. While he doesn’t have the greatest change-of-direction skills, he’s a plus athlete who could potentially play cornerback in college in the right system. He’s every bit the athlete of former Michigan cornerback Vincent Gray, and I think he’s a little more physical, too. I could see him playing corner or safety at the next level.

13. Messiah Blair – DE – Detroit (MI) King
Height:
6’7″
Weight: 223 lbs.
Notable offers: Iowa, Purdue
Commitment: Uncommitted
247 Composite: 3-star, #52 EDGE, #674 overall
Analysis: Blair is a tall, lanky edge prospect who I believe has a lot of room to grow. While he’s thin now and his strength is limited, I think his lower body is going to fill out and he’ll be able to carry a good amount of weight. He seems like the type of guy that Iowa can give a few years to develop and then turn him into an all-conference player once he becomes 260-270 pounds.

14. Drew Viotto – QB – Walled Lake (MI) Western
Height: 6’4″
Weight: 215 lbs.
Notable offers:
Commitment: Eastern Michigan
247 Composite: 3-star, #56 QB, #845 overall
Analysis: Viotto is a pretty strong-armed quarterback with a quick release. Unfortunately, he’s fairly slow-footed, which will be an issue for some of the bigger programs. I also have some questions about how quickly he gets through his progressions, because he throws off schedule quite a bit and he has to improvise, which he will have trouble doing at the next level due to his aforementioned lack of athleticism. Viotto grew up in Canada and moved to Walled Lake a few years ago.

15. Adam Samaha – K – Ann Arbor (MI) Huron
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 170 lbs.
Notable offer: Michigan
Commitment: Michigan
247 Composite: 3-star, #1 K, #849 overall
Analysis: I wrote a commitment post for Samaha when he committed to Michigan (LINK).
