The Class of 2013 Michigan High School Football Player Rankings

Thanks for checking out The D Zone’s Michigan High School Football Player Rankings page. If you are wondering what our new “5 Great Lake Recruit" system is, think of it as the 5-star recruit system used by the national recruiting sites, such as Rivals.com. The concept of The Great Lakes Recruit clicked with us as we worked hard to come up with a unique term. Ultimately we figured you the players would rather tweet, "I just saw that I was a # Great Lake Recruit on The D Zone!!!" We do our best to provide a service here in Michigan that is unlike anything else in the world. We decided that using the Great Lakes term, here in Michigan, would be a great combination. Please note that these rankings consist only of committed players. If you are not on this list and are wondering why, please e-mail us at TheDZone586@gmail.com.  The lists were compiled by three of The D Zone staff members, along with an anonymous legend. Please enjoy the rankings and be ready to tweet and share with everyone how many Great Lakes you've been ranked. Also worth noting, prospects will never be demoted a Great Lake from their initial ranking, which is assigned as they commit.
