2021 Football Summer Rankings.

Written Monday May 24th at 11:30 PM

These are the early summer football rankings heading into the fall. This is NOT the official top 21 for football, that comes later. Anyway here are my thoughts heading into the summer for all 21 football teams.

  1. West Bloomfield: Defending Division One State Champs are loaded and looking for more.
  2. Adams: Highlanders are loaded at the skill positions but line play despite having Hassan Murray is a question mark.
  3. Clarkston: Wolves have the skill positions covered but line play despite having Cole Dellinger is a question mark.
  4. Oxford: Wildcats have a ton of experience coming back, can they put it together is the question???
  5. Lake Orion: Dragons have a ton of questions heading into this season.
  6. North Farmington: Ryan Shelby takes over at quarterback but depth is a huge concern.
  7. Southfield Arts and Tech: Hopefully the new coaching staff will rejuvenate the Warriors.
  8. Stoney Creek: Cougars likely starting over in a very tough division this season.
  9. Rochester: Falcons have experience but how will that do against tougher competition???
  10. Berkley: Something tells me that the Bears are in for a special season.
  11. Groves: Falcons have a ton of questions despite having Jaden Mangham back.
  12. Oak Park: Knights lost a ton of talent last season which could be trouble.
  13. Ferndale: Eagles bounced back last season but can they sustain it???
  14. Farmington: New coach, new division, same issues for the Falcons.
  15. Seaholm: When you have to play Lake Orion and Clarkston for the crossovers oh boy.
  16. Avondale: Yellow Jackets haven’t been able to put things together lately.
  17. Troy Athens: Red Hawks had a bounce back season last year. Can they sustain it???
  18. Troy: Colts look to be turning things around a little bit.
  19. Bloomfield Hills: Blackhawks are in a very tough place right now.
  20. Royal Oak: Ravens have only one playoff appearance not counting 2020 since 2007.
  21. Pontiac: Phoenix have a long road ahead of them, 5-73 since 2012.
