Lots and lots to watch on Monday and I'm 100 percent positive I missed more than a few kids. Here are some of the top WR/RB who caught my eye.
DB Zyon Bell Bolingbrook- great sized kid here (6-foot-1 190?) and is just a pure athlete. Just moves well is very fluid and can flip his hips and change direction in a heartbeat. Could draw some big time looks sooner rather than later.
DB Ivory Kelly-Martin Nazareth Academy- still not sure why Ivory decided to work out as a DB but...ok. Just a pure athlete here who can play several spots. Will draw his recruiting looks and offers as a running back in my opinion.
DB Ishawn Stewart Bolingbrook- Been watching IShawn since his sophomore year. Is coming off an injury that knocked him out for the 2015 season and overall looked good here.
DB Dominique Reed Simeon (soph)- both Dominique and his older brother Demani are players. Both have speed and ball skills and will draw looks and potential offers. Both could use a bit more weight/bulk for the next level but overall alot to like from these two.
LB Max Rosenthal New Trier- bigger kid definitely an inside guy. Again I just like Max's overall game, has good instincts and moves well to the football.
DB Felix King Guerin Prep- just an annoying defender and trust me that's a compliment. King has nice speed, change of direction and quickness in drill work. Very sound defender who also has good ball skills.
LB Bryson Strong Althoff- Really liked Bryson's game here. Strong and well put together kid who just plays full speed at all times.
LB Micah Awodiran Marist- easily the best overall recruiting prospect at linebacker at this event. Has size, speed, quickness, react well and is just a baller.
LB Deonte Curry Hinsdale South- Saw Deonte play live last year and I liked him at this event as well. Is built a bit sleeker than his older brother Marcus (running back) and Deonte runs well and also has good instincts and reacts as well as anyone here,
LB Jack Kropke Providence Catholic- didn't know too much about Jake to be honest but did well here. Held more than his own in one on one and drill work and is a name to watch.
DB Brenden Flowers OPRF- just battled all comers in one on ones. Just plays hard and competes and that always catches my attention in these settings. A name to watch no question.
LB John Deering Lake Forest (soph)- didn't know a thing about this kid. Was one of the few linebackers to slow down and stop some of the best running backs in the "Cat and Mouse" drill where it's an open field one on one drill. That alone impressed me.
DB Cameron Ruiz Lakes Community- Lakes has players every year and Ruiz had a good day here. Covered well in one on ones and made more than a few great plays. Also liked Ruiz overall speed and agility.
DB Zyon Bell Bolingbrook- great sized kid here (6-foot-1 190?) and is just a pure athlete. Just moves well is very fluid and can flip his hips and change direction in a heartbeat. Could draw some big time looks sooner rather than later.
