4* Muskegon OT Decommits From PSU
Four star offensive tackle Antwan Reed from Muskegon has decommitted from PSU. Reed was offered by UM as well as Georgia, Florida, VT, MSU and some others. He is 6-5, 326 and the 18th ranked offensive tackle; 51st overall player in the state.
I would like all of the tackles, please.

Edit: Appears 24/7 ranking may be in error as one commentor pointed out that he was previously in Florida. If he truly is a four star, he would be a top five or 10 player in the state.

Try reading what he said again.

Don't be that dude, dude. Read the deliberate misunderstanding statement again. It's gold.

That is one advantage OSU and PSU have over Michigan, both OSU and PSU are in football factory states.

Define "really well". They are recruiting a bunch of lower-ranked prospects who are mostly reporting offers from MAC or other schools that are clearly less attractive than Wisconsin.
December 8th, 2017 at 3:02 PM ^
with 5 of the top 20 guys from Michigan, but you're right, in a down year, they're all mid-level 3-stars, none with a Michigan offer, per 247.
Funny thing is, four of the five had MSU offers.

easily figure out what his state rank is: 4th.
Clearly his state ranking is a typo/database table misassignment.

May have more to do with PSU losing staff to MSST though I don't know who hooked him to begin with.
Interesting that he's scheduled to visit PSU tomorrow though.

Not the onlly explanation, of course, but 247 has a higher rated OT with a lot of CBs to PSU.
At 6'5" and 326, he is not built like a Greg Frey tackle. Maybe a guard prospect here. We could use one in this class.

take that FWIW. May be true, may be not.
West Michigan wasn't the typical place for PSU to get players. Now that I think of it, I can't think of a single PSU football players who came from West Michigan.

I think both his parents are West Branch-lifers (his Dad, unfortunately, passed away very young at 46 a couple years ago). The family has owned a popular restaurant up there for like 20 years.
Zettel was definitely a steal for PSU. Happy to see him living the dream in the NFL now.

remember many high school tackles end up moving inside
December 7th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
6'5" is guard
These are all huge people. I hope they can move other people and/or get in the way really well, despite the one inch difference in height.

The book on Reed earlier in his career was that he had a lot of physical talent but took a lot of plays off. He transferred down to IMG Academy, but things didn't work out, and he came back to Muskegon. Whether it was the IMG experience or something else, he seems to have taken some steps forward physically, but more so mentally.

Muskegon's OL was something to behold this year. For a size comparison, here's how the Big Reds stacked up against an NFL team.
2017 Dallas Cowboys O-line (tackle-to-tackle)
6'5 320
6'2 302
6'4 320
6'4 310
6'4 315
Ave. 6'4 313
2017 Muskegon High School O-line
6'5 330 (Bradford)
6'0 250 (Johnson)
6'1 285 (Mills-Ellis)
6'2 304 (Cooper)
6'6 315 (Reed)
Ave 6' 3 297
Everyone save Reed returns next year for Muskegon

I mean, he might not make batteries or launch rockets (or have hair plugs) but I think he'd be more than welcomed by the Maize n' Blue faithful.
