Out of Livonia HS, we have Christopher Nelson, a 6’1″ MLB with a 3.3 GPA. The hard-hitting linebacker had a monster senior season. Nelson simply has a nose for the football, recording over 100 tackles, 2 sacks, 5 TFLs, and 3 forced fumbles. His stellar play earned him first-team all-district honors and the Defensive MVP award for Livonia. Nelson currently holds offers from a few Division 2 and NAIA schools but has been in contact with a few more since the conclusion of the bowl game.
