Team Michigan Roster is set for Ohio vs Michigan Game

Maurice Murray-2026

Although it’s still early, the roster has already been set for 2026 Team Michigan and the Ohio vs Michigan all-star game, which will proceed the September 7^th & 8^th Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase.  As we have done for several years now, in addition to the very popular Ohio North vs South all-star games and the showcase, we will be hosting several interstate rivalry games in multiple classes as well. Plans are currently underway for a 2025 game between Michigan and Ohio and possibly a Kentucky game as well in at least one class.

Thanks to the efforts of Coach Maurice Summerville, the State of Michigan will field a deep team composing of at least 5-6 of the state’s top 2026 players.  The complete roster includes: Josiah Nash, Brandon Mercer, Taveon Vaughn, Kae’Vion Wilson, Cameron Ryans, Cayden Ali, Markese Murray, Maurice Murray, Mario Murray and Braden Mack.  Based on their performance at the Spring showcase alone, we know that at least 3 players on the Michigan roster can go (Maurice Murray (#3), Keyshawn Summerville (#8) & Kae’Vion Wilson (#18), as all three were ranked among the top 18 in the final showcase rankings in March. Coach Summerville and Coach Kenjuan Wilson will coach Team Michigan.

Team Ohio’s roster is still under development, but we already know a few names including Marcus Johnson, the state’s top 6^th grader, T.J. Crumble, one of the top 2 bigs in Ohio, Darek Whitfield, and two of the state’s elite PGs, and Cole Albers.  Once we have locked down the final commitments from the other invited players we will release the final roster.  This should be a highly competitive game as the top players from both states will square off on the same court.  We can’t wait!
