For these elite Michigan high school football recruits, it's not business as usual

Rocco Spindler wakes up between 10 a.m. and noon to check the news each day. He eats brunch while watching whatever Netflix show he’s bingeing on. A couple of hours later, the top-50 ranked prospect in the nation makes his way to the basement.

Spindler should be sitting in a classroom at Clarkston High School.

But with the COVID-19 pandemic, normal day-to-day activities have been put on hold, and top high school football prospects — such as Spindler, West Bloomfield's Donovan Edwards and Cass Tech's Kalen King — have been forced to adjust to a new reality in their recruitment and workout routines.
