Every year, there seems to be one position that stands out most in regards to the talent in the county during a given football season.
This season's top position?
No doubt, it's linebacker.
Kosmo probably can't count on two hands the number of great linebackers that'll be on the area gridiron.
The best of the bunch of course is Orchard Lake St. Mary's senior James Ross, who has committed to Michigan. But St. Mary's has two other potential college players in Joe Eroyan and David Talley at the position as well.
Southfield-Lathrup senior Jamal Lyles has committed to Michigan State, while Clarkston might have the best tandem of linebackers in the state, seniors Matt Dellinger and Zach Collins.
Prescott Line of Oxford will play at Southern Methodist as either a linebacker or running back, Brent Zdebski of Walled Lake Western had a state-best 149 tackles last season, while there a couple of probably Division I college linebackers in the junior class, Jon Reschke of Brother Rice and Eddie Huckleby of Harrison.
Trust Koz when he says there are many more. Just look at the top players list in the upcoming football preview section just to see how many outstanding linebackers there will be in the county this fall.
