I'm probably going to age out on a football field, and that's just fine by me.

I am grateful to receive an offer from Alma College

@alexwmuller_NH @goosepoop_ For D1-3 it's not that difficult. Sure there will be more travel, but most teams in those divisions are very south. It gets tricky at the lower divisions (i.e. Iron Mountain to White Pigeon), which I think is the reasoning behind the geographic pairings in the first place.

After a talk with @Money_McCants10, I’m excited to say I’ve received an offer to play for Madonna. @FootballHowell

[Allen Trieu @AllenTrieu]

Howell (Mich.) 2025 RB Justin Jones is a really good player.

Might be a LB at the next level. Wayne State has offered.

Howell up a TD on Belleville right now thanks in part to a couple key plays by him.

The Waffle House CEO passed away this week and the No. 1 offensive line recruit in the country leads his team out on the field carrying a Waffle House flag just a few days later.

It doesn’t get any more American than this.

Kid is absurdly talented and has the intelligence and drive to go with it. @UMichFootball is getting a BEAST

[Brice Marich @BriceMarich]

#Michigan four-star DL commit Bobby Kanka (@BobbyKanka1) made several big plays in Howell's win over Canton tonight including this spectacular INT.

Just your average play from a 6'5, 290-pound defensive lineman.
