High school football is back. Well, in a couple of states, anyways.
Three Michigan commits were in action over the weekend and had some huge performances.
Rivals100 Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood linebacker Junior Colson helped lead his team to a blowout win over Franklin (Tenn.) Centenial last week. Colson saw limited action in that game, recording three tackles for loss.
This week, however, Colson showed no mercy, recording 16 tackles, a fumble recovery and a blocked punt in Ravenwood's 38-9 win over Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman.
While Colson was impressive on defense, his biggest play of the game came on special teams. Colson went a little viral for his 90-yard kick return for a touchdown. Keep in mind that this dude is a linebacker.
The state of Ohio opened up the high school season this week, and Michigan commits Markus Allen and Rod Moore were involved in one of the most thrilling contests of the weekend.
Allen, a four-star wide receiver, caught the game-winning touchdown with nine seconds left as Clayton (Ohio) Northmont took down Springboro (Ohio) High, 40-36.
Overall, Allen finished the game with nine receptions for 132 yards and three touchdowns ā all while playing through a torn labrum.
While the game was a shootout, Moore, a three-star safety, still made plays on the defensive side of the ball, tallying six tackles and two pass deflections.
Moore showed off his high-level game speed and ability to come downhill in a hurry in the victory.
All three commits will be back in action this week. Rivals100 Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy is also set to see the field as powerhouse Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy will take on Venice (Fla.) High on ESPN on Friday night.
The Wolverines is set to be in Ohio to see Allen and Moore when Northmont takes on Kettering (Ohio) Fairmont.
