Who Stood Out?
Red Jerseys (2024/2025)
(Still a work in progress check back later for more details and breakdowns)
4 QB Troyer Carlson Kaneland - Ive always been impressed with Carson's game/physical tools and overall ability to get the football downfield consistently.
4 WR Tyler Threat Waubonsie Valley Good sized, athletic player who also ran well here. Also showed good hands in one on ones.
4 WR Jack Mcqueeney Lyons Township 2025- Ran really well and also tested well here and is a name to watch this coming fall.
5 DB Jack Philbin Glenbrook North- Is a speedy quick twitch type of player and athlete who also ran well and caught some attention from college coaches here.
8 DB Michael McCormick Lake Park I was impressed with this kid's overall size and physicality here and McCormick was really impressive in positional and drill work.
13 DB Isaiah Houi Hononegah- A smaller kid on the hood but also an athlete with very good speed and quickness, and I alsoliked how he battles for the football in every rep I saw here. .
17 QB Arthur Palicki Willowbrook- Been a fan for some time and Palicki always throws the football well and he also tested and ran really well here. Caught the eye of several FCS schools in attendance.
20 RB Derrick Stewart St. Rita Big bruising back here who I feel will end up on someone's roster and end up becoming a big time short yardage fullback type.
22 WR Ben Petermann Rolling Meadows- Impressive kid on the hood who also runs really well and also caught everything in his vacinity here. Has FCS level ability in my opinion.
25 DB Dillon Conway Mount Carmel Is listed as a defensive back but with his size (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) I see him becoming a higher level OLB at say the MAC/high FCS level. Ran a great 40 yard dash and just has advanced skills and physical tools.
27 TE Jake Furtney St Charles North- Was one of the top overall performers at this event. Furtney jsut does a lot of things really well. A strong and impressive football player here.
32 RB Alonzo Manning II Mount Carmel Speedy slot back type who is also a game changing back out of the backfield. Manning, who added his first offer from Navy in the right offense will become an impact type of back at the higher college level.
34 RB George Asay Montini Catholic- Anoither name that ran and tested well at this event.
38 WR Jim Feeney Coal City- Didn't see a ton of reps for Feeney but he was impressive in drill and positional work. Also ran and tested well here.
42 LB Zac Laird Athens- Another name who I did not know coming in to this event who tested well and was one of the better names in a not great position at this camp.
44 LB Tommy Diamond Geneva- Great eyeball passing sized kid who was pretty solid in the testing and drill phase. Definitely will check out more on Diamond soon.
46 DB Elijah Romeus Fenwick Just a very steady, strong camp performer who also shines in his cover and ball skills.
52 OC Alex Poholik Mount Carmel Mr. Steady Eddie type of linemen here. Has good strength and technique and is seldom out of position or make a poor read in one on ones. Has ideal OC sie and skill set in my opinion.
56 DL Chibuese Ibegbulen Bartlett- Good sized kid here who showed a good combination of technique and muscle in one on ones. I would have liked to see him take more reps here but he did pretty well in the limited chances he had here.
62 DE Ethan Aghakhan Stevenson- Ethan has a nice combination of speed and quickness and he will continue to add more strength and power from here on out. His overall technique is much improved.
65 OT Conor Kenzinger Brother Rice- One of the most physically impressive OL here. Kenzinger has the physical tools to play at a pretty high level. Several D1 schools are still waiting on seeing Conor's early senior tape before they either offer him or not.
73 OL Logan Brasfield Yorkville- Hands down the best overall linemen at this camp. Brasfield has impressive strength. speed and technique and plays with a non stop motor and a chip and anger and showed his ability to just dominate the opposing DL.
73 QB Ryan Jackson Lyons Township- A very solid overall QB who is also a pretty solid overall athlete as well. Ryan Jackson seems to test well and the only hold back from adding more offers that I see is Jackson's height.
75 OL Andrew Jennings Naperville North- Inside OL at the next level who moves pretty decent and had some good flashes in one on ones.
79 Ol Kaden Garland OPRF Has really good size (6-foot-4, 283 pounds) and also showed to have good strength and hands. Garland was also quick to adjust to coaching points and will draw more looks this summer and fall.
80 RB Matt Lawson Hoffman Estates_ Hands down the top overall performer in this Tuesday session. Lawson has impressive physical tools, speed and in my opinion he has higher D1 level potential and ability. His combination of overall quick feet, start and stop ability and power and strength stood out all evening.
81 WR Ashton Henkel Byron- Plays in a run heavy offense at Byron but this WR has good size (6-foot-2, 187 pounds) tan well and is a name to watch this summer for sure.
81 QB CJ King Zion - Saw CJ in the testing portion and he's a good sized player with a nice mix of strength and also good overall speed.
82 DB Daniel Montesano Lyons- Posted one of the fastest overall 40 yard dash times of this entire event. I definitely will go back and look at more video on this kid but his testing and positional work was impressive.
83 WR Dedric Mason Freeport- Freeport always has a handful of high level athletes and this is yet another name to watch. Ran/tested pretty well here and also was just impresisve in the overall testing phase.
86 WR Maurice Densmore Mount Carmel - A long time camp kid who is always impressive with both his overall athletic ability and receiver skills and technique.
89 WR Aric Johnson Kaneland- Another name who I felt had a good camp here. Johnson tested better here than other camps I've seen him at recently and Johnson is a physically mature almost college ready athlete physically right now.
92 DB Corin Greenwell St. Francis- Has good length, ran well and also just looked really solid in positional drills and work.
96 DE Fillip Rolek Palatine- I've seen Fillip in person a few different time snow and his game keeps improving. Rolek was a consistently solid performer in one on ones and should draw more looks this summer and fall.
