Thought I had seen a list of Illinois High School Players playing college football and which team.. anyone have that list? Thx
Playing college football
- Thread starter Ndrfootball1132
- Start date
My son just texted me that Terry Becker (ESL, my son played against him) is tearing it up today for Missouri. Not sure if he was on the list last time.
This is a good link that @ignazio included in @Sparty Jones thread of locals starting in college. Didn't see St. Rita's Tim Zaleski P at Wyoming on it so don't know how accurate, up-to-date or who curates the list but it does have a good list and is a good starting point as is Sparty's thread on the front page

Miami seems to be almost back to the prominence they had during the Schnellenberger days.
Yeah- It's amazing what good coaching can do! Bring back a local product, who had experience coaching in the SEC at a big time program...two years later competing at a National Level....

Jarvion Franklin (Andrew HS) is a senior at Western Michigan. I am pretty sure I heard on a recent game broadcast that he has logged over 20 games with 100+ yards rushing in his career to date.
From around that same time and area, I have not learned anything recent about Julian Hylton (LWN) at Illinois and possibly a senior, too. Anybody know anything about him?
When those 2 faced off as HS seniors, that was special to have 2 RBs of that caliber in the same game.
