USA TODAY High School Sports announced the 2015 American Family Insurance ALL-USA State Football Teams. Players were selected based on their athletic achievements from the 2015-16 season.

Of Michigan’s 23 commitments in the 2016 class, 15 of them earned all-state honors. Oak Park (Mich.) junior offensive tackle Ja’Raymond Hall also earned all-state honors being named to Michigan’s second team.

Prattville (Ala.) running back Kingston Davis was named to the second team after carrying the ball 242 times for 1,656 yards (6.8 yards per rush) and 19 touchdowns. He also added seven catches for 110 yards and helped lead the Lions to a 6-4 record.

It was a good day for the Bush family as Devin Bush Sr. was named coach of the year and son and Michigan commit, Devin Jr., was named to the first-team in the state of Florida.

Bush Sr. led the Falcons to their first-ever state crown this season with a victory over Osceola in the Class 8A final. Led by Devin Jr., defense was Flanagan’s calling card. The Falcons allowed a measly 6.4 points per game in the state’s highest classification and posted three shutouts in the postseason.

Downers Grove (Ill.) South offensive tackle Erik Swenson earned first team honors despite a rough season for his Mustangs. Even with solid play from Swenson, DGS went just 3-6 and missed the playoffs in Swenson's final prep season.

All three Indiana natives committed to Michigan earned first team honors after huge seasons.

Avon quarterback Brandon Peters was named offensive player of the year in Indiana after amassing 3,103 passing yards and 37 touchdowns (against five INTs) to lead Avon to the Class 6A state semifinals. Peters led Avon to its first regional championship since 2005 this fall.

Winchester Community athlete Kiante Enis was like a real-life video game all season. Enis had 288 carries for 2,423 yards (8.4 yards per rush) and 34 touchdowns, to go along with 10 receptions for 290 yards and four scores. Defensively, he recorded five interceptions, one defensive touchdown, one forced fumble and 13 tackles. He has one kick return for a touchdown as well. His Golden Falcons fell in the state semifinals and finished 10-3.

Indianapolis Ben Davis athlete Chris Evans also stuffed the stat sheet for his high school team and earned first team honors. Evans had 188 carries for 1,114 yards (5.9 yards per attempt) and 15 touchdowns, and 39 receptions for 499 yards and three scores. He and his Giants finished the 2015 season with a 6-5 mark.

Baltimore Gilman offensive tackle Devery Hamilton earned first team honors after helping his powerhouse Greyhounds finish 10-1.

Upper Marlboro (Md.) Riverdale Baptist cornerback Sir Patrick Scott finished his final high school season at 6-4. Scott had 57 tackles and 16 pass breakups on the season. Only eight receptions were made against the rangy corner all season.

The lone Michigan commitment in the 2016 class, Detroit Cass Tech offensive guard Michael Onwenu was named to the first team after helping Cass Tech reach the 1A state championship game. His Technicians ultimately fell to Chelsea, but the big lineman dominated both sides of the ball all year.

Two of Michigan's four commits from New Jersey were named to the first team in The Garden State.

Wayne (N.J.) De Paul Catholic running back Kareem Walker carried the ball 215 times for 1,517 yards (7.1 yards per rush) and 13 touchdowns. The No. 1 running back in the nation also had five catches for 35 yards and a score on the season.

Brad Hawkins Jr. and Ron Johnson are both committed to Michigan and both hail from Camden High School in Camden. Johnson, the lesser touted of the two, earned his first-team honors after recording five catches for 65 yards and a two touchdowns on offense. On defense, he had 98 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks, three fumble recoveries, and two forced fumbles.

One glance at Thompson's Station (Tenn.) Independence wide receiver Nate Johnson's stats and it's easy to see why he earned second-team honors - and slightly surprising he wasn't a first-teamer. Johnson The caught 87 passes for 1,713 yards and 27 touchdowns while leading his Eagles to an undefeated state championship season. For good measure, he scored another touchdown on the ground and one on a punt return for his 15-0 squad. His yardage mark was the fifth most in the entire country in 2015.

One of the more recent additions to the class, Houston Westside defensive tackle Jordan Elliott fits right in with the rest as a second-team all state member. In just eight games, Elliott had 30 tackles including 10 for loss, and four sacks while dealing with some nagging injuries as a senior.

Hartland (Wis.) Arrowhead offensive guard Ben Bredeson made it to the state championship as a junior and a senior, but both times lost to Kimberly. Bredeson was a big part of a very productive offense that finished 12-2 in 2015 and earned him first-team honors.
