Prospects The D Zone will be seeing at Saint Francis and Kalkaska (Story + Game Preview)

The D Zone's Jeff Corrion will be covering this Saturday game at Thirbly Field in Traverse City as Saint Francis will welcome Kalkaska. The Gladiators are on a mission to get to Ford Field and have a major test in week 9 vs. New Lothrop. The Blazers had a coaching change mid-season so they're just looking to get this season behind them and improve for the future.

Below are the prospects we're aware of entering the game. We look forward to discovering more talent.

2019 DT/OG Spencer Hathaway is a 6' 270 lbs interior mauler with good fundamentals and base. Should draw a lot of interest from D2, NAIA, and D3 schools.

2019 OLB/TE Tom Hegewald is a 6'2 200 lbs prospect who we project around D1-FCS/D2 level. Hegewald is an OLB prospect with good instincts, read-reacts well, and on top of being physically constructed well, runs sideline-to-sideline well. Also a player who plays with tremendous heart and effort.

2019 DB/RB George Mackey holds 4 D3 roster opportunities entering the game. Mackey who is 5'11 180 lbs is one of the Gladiators main playmakers as he's solid cover corner with nice physical attributes as well. Also utilizes his speed for off Tackle rushes

2019 DE/TE Henry Carroll is a very productive player who gets it done on both sides of the ball. Carroll had some key plays the last time The D Zone was at their game and we're told he's one of the top lacrosse players in the state.

2019 CB/RB Artie Dutmers is a 5'10 170 lbs strong cover corner as he has 3 interceptions this year and a solid RB too. Dutmers has two opportunities for play Division III football.

2019 RB/S Evan McGee is a 5'11 180 lbs versatile playmaker for the Glads who plays both ways. McGee over the off-season dominated a combine The D Zone was at and his quickness really shows in game and film.

2019 OC/DT Tommy Gallagher is a 6'1 225 lbs center with good versatility who is quick off the snap and blocking effectively.

2019 DT Mitch Westman 6' 200 lbs interior NG prospect who gets off snap well and is a sure-tackler.

2019 QB/S Danny Passinault is a the Gladiators most versatile player as he's an athletic player who is shifty and can turn up field well. Passinault is utilized all over the field in all 3 phases of the game.

Kalkaska:

2019 QB/S Jaxon Disbrow is 6'1 190 lbs and 2019 WR/DB Stephen Ordway who stood out for the Blazers when we seen them scrimmage at Durand this summer.
