There could be a new heir apparent to Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood, the top recruit in the 2024 class, as the next great Michigan high school prospect. You'll just have to wait four years.
"We spent about 20 minutes with him," Tabron said. "He said 'I'm gonna make a deal with you. I'll offer you if you keep doing what you're doing and working hard.' And I was like that's easy enough ... We talked about a lot of things. We talked about Aidan . Aidan as a freshman, playing nine games in college. And me going to my freshman year hopefully playing a lot my first year of high school.
"I might be getting attention now, but I haven't played a high school snap yet," Tabron said. "So that means I just need to put my head down and make sure when I play my first high school snaps, high school season, that I live up to the expectation." Tabron has only been playing quarterback since he was 11 years old, but due to a knee injury, really began to take the bulk of the snaps at 12 years old. Tabron's father, Donald Sr., noted that "this is a fairly new endeavor" for the family.
Dooley said he and Tabron work three times a week. Right now, it's about learning scheme, down and distance, run game, and pass game. Marrying his footwork with concepts. All while learning his freshman playbook. Dooley emphasizes "playing fast from the neck up." He referred to it as "brain talent.""Don has a smooth stroke, he doesn't need much space to deliver the ball. ... think ultimately what you're looking for is a situational creature.
