While high school football has been postponed in some states across the country, many are still playing on, with several Michigan football commits taking the gridiron over the weekend.

Here is a breakdown of how future Wolverines performed.

Michigan Wolverines football wide receiver pledge Andrel Anthony had a huge game Friday.

The Skinny: Michigan offensive line commit Raheem Anderson led his team up front both run blocking and protecting the quarterback in a 48-7 win over Detroit Renaissance. The Technicians improved to 3-0 on the season with the victory.

Up Next: at Detroit Cody 10/9

The Skinny: In a 17-0 win over Lansing Waverly, Michigan wide receiver commit Andrel Anthony hauled in a 34-yard touchdown reception, and totaled 107 yards for the game. With his stellar performance, Anthony became East Lansing (Mich.) High's all-time leader in receiving yards.

Season Stats: Through two games, Anthony has racked up 187 receiving yards with one touchdown.

Up Next: at Holt (Mich.) High 10/9

The Skinny: Michigan linebacker commit Junior Colson's Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood squad bounced back Friday night after three straight losses, coming away victorious, 42-7, over Dickinson County (Tenn.) High. Colson notched a team-high eight total tackles to lead his defensive unit.

Season Stats: In the three games in which stats were available, Colson has 20 total tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack and a quarterback hurry, while playing both inside and outside linebacker. He also has a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season.

The Skinny: IMG Academy, led by Michigan quarterback pledge J.J. McCarthy and center commit Greg Crippen, came away with yet another blowout win, this time disposing of Chester (Va.) Life Christian Academy, 52-8.

Crippen was crucial blocking up front, while McCarthy was the offense's catalyst, going 13-for-18 passing for 254 yards and two touchdowns, while also notching one score on the ground. Big plays were the name of the game for McCarthy on Friday, with the future Wolverine signal caller throwing 77- and 68-yard touchdown passes in the contest. He exited the game early in the third quarter due to the lopsided margin.

Brother Rice, Michigan kicker/punter commit Tommy Doman made 1-of-1 extra-point attempts and also booted two 50-yard punts, one that completely flipped the field position late in the game, though his team didn't take advantage.

Season Stats: Through three games, Doman is 6-for-6 on extra points and 1-for-1 on field goal attempts, nailing a 53-yarder in week two.
