football recruiting Ten Must-See Games Although Michigan's commitments will take their talents to the biggest stage possible when they arrive at Michigan, many of them are going to compete in huge games at the high school level this fall. 1. Southfield (Mich.) vs. Detroit Cass Tech — Aug. 30, Detroit This game is big because of who isn't committed to Michigan. Lawrence Marshall, the lone Michigan pledge in the contest, will line up next to Malik McDowell — a recent transfer from Detroit Loyola who happens to be the top player in the state — up front for Southfield. On the other sideline, Cass Tech boasts 2014 Ohio State pledge Damon Webb, along with underclass- Future Wolverine defensive end Lawrence men with Michigan offers in 2015 — Marshall and Southfield (Mich.)

Catholic vs. Cleveland St. Ignatius — Sept. 28, Cleveland The Paladins will head West from New Jersey to take on one of Ohio's top teams. Not only does St. Ignatius boast Notre Dame-bound offensive lineman Jimmy Byrne and future Buckeye linebacker Kyle Berger, but the Wildcats also have a number of underclassmen that should be big-time prospects. Jabrill Peppers and Juwann-Bushell-Beatty will have their hands full. 3. Grand Rapids (Mich.) Christian vs. Muskegon (Mich.) — Sept. 6, Grand Rapids, Mich. Drake Harris' Grand Rapids Christian squad captured the 2012 Division 3 state title. Muskegon was the runner up in Division 2. It should be one of the toughest battles of the regular season for both teams and for Harris, who will be facing a secondary that includes some of the state's most underrated defensive backs. 4. Paramus (N.J.) Catholic vs. Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep — Oct. 18, Paramus, N.J. Peppers left Don Bosco Prep for Paramus Catholic at the end of his sophomore year, and the Ironmen have no love lost for the five-star cornerback.
