Observation:
Stock Up at 7-on-7
I attended The D Zone's 7-on-7 competition on Tuesday, where numerous Spartan commits and targets were performing. One of the standouts was Spartans 2025 tight end commit Jayden Savoury. Savoury, 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, looked good in his route running and made some great catches, utilizing his catch radius.
Now, it's July and there was no contact (for the most part, there were some good collisions), and there's no line play. However, for route runners, getting up might be a bit more difficult, with linebackers instantly dropping into coverage, deep coverage, every play. Space is consumed and windows are tight.
Speaking of windows, 2028 quarterback target Donald Tabron II of Detroit Cass Tech looked really good at the competition. Tabron, who is looking to earn the starting job as a freshman, processed the field well and showed off a quick release. Some of his passes sailed early on, but once he settled into a rhythm, he made some impressive throws. Again, no contact or line play, the latter being a big one, but overall a solid showing. Mechanically sound, too.
A name to watch: 2028 ATH Mylan Griggs of Detroit Cass Tech. He received an offer from Kentucky in May, not bad for another kid who hasn't played high school football yet.
The 6-foot, 158-pound wide receiver and cornerback had four touchdown catches on the day, including three against a sizeable opponent in Dexter High School. He has a fluid release and he can snag passes that might be out of reach for most thanks to his athleticism. He makes acrobatic catches look easy. I expect Griggs to be a big name moving forward.
