For that reason, I do not necessarily project him as an instant impact guy, but he has clear upside as a prospect. He did play well on offense as well and this is his first year at offensive tackle. His flexibility allows him to still get leverage, something that is normally difficult for kids of his height. In this game, he had a fumble recovery and several tackles. In fact, defensive ends coach Chuck Bullough was just in town the week before to see Berghorst. Michigan State's plans for him are entirely on defense. However, he is a flexible athlete and his ability to bend caused nearly all schools who offered him to recruit him on defense.
Berghorst looks like your classic, big-framed high school kid who will get moved to offensive tackle in college. Berghorst, a 6-foot-7 (he is still growing and approaching 6-foot-8), 240-pound defensive end, is someone we marked as a kid to see this year because, as a three-sport athlete, he was not able to attend any off-season camps. Michigan State commit Adam Berghorst was the top-ranked prospect in the game. 247Sports was on hand to see several prospects in the game. Zeeland East defeated Holland 25-3 on Friday night.
