Meet the Detroit Free Press 2023 Dream Team

The following is the Free Press’ Dream Team for the 2023 Michigan high school football season:

Offense

WR Tashi Braceful

School: Southfield A&T

Vitals: Senior, 6 feet 2, 175 pounds.

Southfield A&T wide receiver Tashi Braceful

Stats: 1,730 receiving yards, 14 TDs.

The buzz: The top target for a prolific offense, Braceful made big catches in big moments. His state finals performance included 10 passes for 152 yards and a first-half touchdown in Southfield’s 36-32 upset of Belleville. Goes up strong and has a big catch radius. Committed to Toledo.

OL Andrew Dennis

School: Mount Pleasant

Vitals: Senior, 6-5, 275.

Mount Pleasant offensive lineman Andrew Dennis

Stats: A big reason the Oilers scored 30 or more points in seven of their games and 40 points four times was because of Dennis, a three-year starter who anchored the run game and pass protection.

The buzz: A versatile lineman who can play multiple positions, Dennis is a multi-sport athlete who throws shot put in track and also has played baseball and hockey growing up. He is committed to play in college for Illinois.

OL Ryan Ross

School: Warren De La Salle

Vitals: Senior, 6-3, 305.

Warren De La Salle offensive lineman Ryan Ross

Stats: Anchored the line that went all the way to Ford Field, earning state runner-up.

The buzz: The four-year starter became one of the most dominating one-on-one blocker in program history. Committed to play interior line at Ferris State.

OL Avery Gach

School: Birmingham Groves

Vitals: Junior, 6-6, 290.

Birmingham Groves offensive lineman Avery Gach

Stats: 70 pancake blocks.

The buzz: The top lineman prospect in the state from the class of 2025, Gach has been a starter since his freshman year — only the fourth in Groves history (and first lineman). A motivated force, Gach plays through the whistle and is not happy unless he’s completed the block.
