Leaders and Best in 50 States: Delaware & New Jersey
Today MGoBlue.com will announce its selections for the winners of Delaware & New Jersey. Anyone have any guesses as to who these two are?
New Jersey - Jon Runyan?
Delaware - A warm body?
Runyan is from Flint. I assume they'll mostly focus on where the people are from, not where they lived after their Michigan careers (unless there is no other option for a given state).
Deleware:
Mike Adams
Oops, wrong winged helmet.
Imagine being magically whisked away to Delaware. . .Hi. . .I'm in Delaware:

Kelsie, Tony (Dover DE)
As for New Jersey, agree with rdwolverine, Butch by a landslide.

DE - Chris Brady (men's swimming) & Kaitlyn Brady (women's swimming)

Butch Woolfolk didn't even get an honorable mention. But, he was born in Milwaukee and only went to HS in NJ for one year.
...detailed results. Two All-American swimmers, both of whom hold a Michigan record and a national titleist Academic All-American track & field athlete.

I had Football on the brain. I didn't see that is was for ALL sports. Sorry everyone.
The only total lock I can think of is Tom Harmon for Indiana.
Woodson or Howard would also be a good one for Ohio, but the fact that I couldn't choose between them just goes to show how many options there are from that state, even just from a football perspective.
