IHSA Kids going Pro.

[Southland Fan 2016]

Which kids who played Illinois HS Football will get drafted in April? Any long shots?

 

[PC Dad_MC Grad]

I hear Miles Boykin is going into the draft. Wish him well but if I was him I would have stayed another year at ND.

He graduated so he would be in grad school if he came back. Julian Love will also get drafted.

 

[epicbret]

Clayton Thorson WN/NW
David Edwards DGN/UW
Chris Slayton Crete/Syracuse
Nick Allegretti LWE/UI

All will be drafted. Edwards pretty high

 

[epicbret]

Forgot TJ Edward's Lakes /UW declared. Dude is a thumper.

 

[epicbret]

Albert Okwuegbunam SHG/Mizzou will be a top TE if he declares

 

[PH23]

Forgot TJ Edward's Lake Zurich/UW declared. Dude is a thumper.

Edwards is from Lakes Community High School.

My bad. The other Northern lakey school

 

[epicbret]

Terry Beckner ESL/ Mizzou will have some injury flags but is a clear first day talent without them

 

[epicbret]

Cody Conway Plainfield North /Syracuse is a guy to watch as a UFA

 

[epicbret]

Congrats BTW @dtlove3434

I'm gonna say I called it!

What round do you believe Nick Allegretti LWE/UI
will go?

Late to UFA. I do think he's NFL caliber though. Just tough as a strictly interior guy.

Miles might go 4th round. Another year at ND and he would raise his stock barring injury of course.

What you think? Late 1st or 2nd?

I hope DT got the draft party all set at the PH

Jacob Huff The Brook/Minnesota

I remember taking my younger son as a Jr. to a camp and Nick was there before his Freshman year and you could tell he was a big dude and a really nice kid.

He and Mikey Dudek have become good friends while at UofI.

Met the family randomly on vacation once. Good people.

Yes. Needs to run well though. They care more about that for high rounds than anything but knees

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

Almost forgot about Scotty Miller of Bowling Green. Late round pick or UDFA. Small but lightning fast.

I forgot he was a senior, completely agree.

Great season this year for a team with some really mistake prone QB play. Miller was both efficient and explosive out of the slot. Needs to add some weight though as he's listed at 166...

Yah if he could put another 15-20 on he could be a great weapon in the return game

 

[corey90]

Agree
They always look at that even though s lineman moves about 15 feet
Lol

 

[epicbret]

I'd draft Julian regardless FWIW

 

[PowerI66]

They look more at the 10 yd than the total 40.

 

[SiuCubFan8]

Agree, he’s been fun to watch from Naz to ND....
Worst case he’s an inside nickle DB, nothing wrong with that.

 

[justexecute]

Malik Fountain Rich Central/CMU 3X All MAC tackling machine. Leaves as schools all time leading tackler. 2nd in the nation in tackles as a senior.

If Bryce follows Vic to Denver this offseason I’d like to see us pick Julian to slot into the Nickle DB for the bears. Hope he goes higher in the draft, but wouldn’t be upset with the pickup. It be a great system to learn and give us a great replacement for Prince when his contract is up. That pick could go multiple ways though and too early to predict until FA starts there.

Good call on Tackling Machine as a descriptor

 

[Southland Fan 2016]

Will Nagel from NU get drafted. Looked like he had a pretty good year before late season injury. Believe he was leading BIG in receiving yards half way through season. Nice little career for this kid. Could potentially be a 7th rounder to UFA. I think someone will give him a shot whether it be ST or WR.

UFA. That ankle injury killed his year.

 

[cmdynasty]

Slayton will be a something to watch at the combine

Agree Completely. He is a very quick and mobile big man.

like to see the bears get him as a backup to long and daniels. let Hiestand get his hands on him...

3rd or 4th round,the good news here is that he will stick on a roster ,great motor.
