Jones stands out at Adidas Showcase
Advertisement
Recruiting Wrap: Holds close to 20 scholarship offers, but does not list any favorites.
Performance: Coming off a junior season in which he recorded 1,087 receiving yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions on defense, Corley continued to show his playmaking ability at Sunday's camp. The 6-foot-2, 187-pound receiver continues to put to rest any questions about his speed, accelerating past defensive backs with ease. He also shows the knack for the highlight-reel catch, elevating over two defensive backs to pull in a fingertip grab on one particular play in 7-on-7.

LB
David Reese (2016)
Farmington, Mich.
Recruiting Wrap: Has five offers from Mid-American Conference schools. Coming off a visit to Northwestern on Saturday.
Performance: You can count on Reese showing up wherever there is an opportunity to compete. He is constantly working to elevate his game and always gives 100 percent. Camps should not be ideal settings for the stout 6-foot-1, 225-pound Reese. He is a run-stuffing, head-knocking middle linebacker, yet he consistently surprises by how well he plays in space and his ability to stick with running backs and tight ends in pass coverage.

WR
Trishton Jackson (2016)
West Bloomfield, Mich.
Recruiting Wrap: Picked up his first offer last month from Western Michigan.
Performance: The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Jackson plays quarterback for West Bloomfield High, but projects as a wideout at the next level and had a chance to showcase his receiving wares. He has a great frame for the position, but what stood out most during this event was his smooth route-running and soft hands. Jackson sticks his foot in the ground and makes sharp cuts, creating separation from defensive backs. From there, he caught everything within his radius.
5
RB
Martell Pettaway (2016)
Saint Clair Shores (Mich.) South Lake
Recruiting Wrap: Michigan State offered over the summer and remains his only tender.
Performance: Pettaway was a standout on last off-season's camp scene, and he comes off his junior season looking even more impressive physically while still possessing the quick feet he has been known for. The only question we can see colleges having with him is his downfield speed, yet Pettaway clocked a 4.47 40-yard dash in the testing portion of the event. He has all the physical traits colleges are looking for in today's backs and has few limitations.
6
WR
Jalen Martin (2016)
Harper Woods (Mich.) Chandler Park Academy
Recruiting Wrap: Has four offers from Mid-American Conference schools.
Performance: At 6-foot-2 and 192 pounds, Martin is a tough cover for defensive backs because of that size and the power with which he plays. He destroys cornerbacks that try to press him, and knows how to use his frame to box out for the reception. But Martin also has the explosiveness to get on top of defensive backs that give cushion, and should be in line for several more offers this off-season.
7
DE
Lawrence Gordon (2016)
Saginaw (Mich.) Arthur Hill
Recruiting Wrap: Gordon is still waiting on his first college scholarship.
Performance: Watching Gordon has been frustrating in the past because at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, he has a great frame for the position, yet seemed disinterested and did not play up to his abilities in past evaluations. That light may have finally clicked on this fall because Gordon was much closer to his potential than we have seen in the past. He has the explosiveness to stay on the edge in college, and his length negates the advantage of tall offensive tackles.
8
QB
Matt Little (2016)
Evanston, Ill.
Recruiting Wrap: Committed to Western Michigan in November but continues to be recruited by Power Five schools.
Performance: On film, Little showed to be a dynamic dual-threat quarterback this past season. Watching him in-person revealed several positives, but also some areas that need improvement. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, he has a great quarterback build. He spins the ball well, does a great job of squaring his shoulder on rollouts and displays disciplined footwork. He is decently over-the-top with his delivery, but almost is too short and tends to shot-put the football when rushed.
