The poll will close on 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Here are the nominees:

Marcello Vitti, ATH, Dearborn Divine Child

Stuffing the stat sheet and winning the state championship - that's how Vitti ended his high school career. For his senior season, Vitti ran for 1,806 yards and 24 total touchdowns. He also shined on defense, as Vitti totaled 80 tackles, nine PBUs, one interception (pick six), two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one sack. For 2026, Vitti is committed to play at Iowa.

Dakota Guerrant, WR/DB, Harper Woods

One of the top wide receivers in the country as a junior, Guerrant had another standout season in 2025. The 4-star recruit caught 58 passes and accounted for 1,950 all-purpose yards and 27 total touchdowns. He also recorded three interceptions and 40 tackles. Guerrant is still uncommitted, but he has offers from several power-4 programs.

Masai Ali, RB, Center Line

Ali proved to be one of the best junior running backs in the league in 2025. The Panthers ball carrier had 1,500 all-purpose yards and 15 total touchdowns.

Easton Moughton, QB, Vicksburg

The junior signal-caller had 2,905 passing yards and 33 touchdowns with just five interceptions. The Bulldogs were one win away from playing in the state championship, and Moughton was a pivotal part of their success.
