The Evanston linebacker is one of the state’s most coveted prospects in the 2022 class. He’s filled out, has good speed and long arms. He’s recently picked up offers from Louisville, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. When it’s all said and done, I’d be shocked if he didn’t have every bigtime program in the country.
Clayton Leonard Clayton Leonard 6'5" | 265 lbs | OL Iroquois West | 2022 State IL , 6’4, 260, Iroquois West
Leonard just picked up his first offer from Central Michigan today, and I’m sure it won’t be his last. The kid has started since he was a freshman and has played extremely well at the varsity level. He’s from a small school, but he’s a very good talent. He’s ready to bounce back from a tough injury in 2019 and could see his offer list fill up very soon.
James Kyle James Kyle 6'6" | 225 lbs | TE Loyola | 2022 State IL , 6’6, 225, Loyola
I really like this kids upside; he’s a big kid who can run, equipped with soft hands. He’s a menace as a blocker and will bury defenders into the turf. Loyola always seems to have great tight ends, and Kyle seems to be the next one in line. He’s recently picked up offers from West Virginia, Bowling Green, Cincinnati, and Kentucky. He should be one of the more highly rated recruits from the Land of Lincoln.
Kaden Cobb Kaden Cobb 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Fenwick | 2022 State IL , 6’3, 185, Fenwick
The Friars lefty has looked very good at recent camps and has been garnering a ton of attention of late. His quick release, combined with great decision making makes him one of the most prized quarterbacks in all of the midwest. He’s recently picked up offers from the likes of Vanderbilt, Ball State, Toledo, and Bowling Green. His offer list is far from over.
Jimmy Liston Jimmy Liston 6'4" | 310 lbs | OL Fenwick | 2022 State IL , 6’3, 290, Fenwick
Keep your eye on this kid, because he’s just getting started. Liston is a wrestler by trade and is tough as they come. He plays fundamentally sound football and is a natural knee bender. He’s got good size for a center and overall solid athleticism. He recently picked up offers from Ole Miss & Ball State. I think the Big Ten will be the next conference to come calling with a scholarship offer.
Jared Badie Jared Badie 6'4" | 210 lbs | LB Oswego East | 2022 State IL , 6’4, 210, Oswego East
I think Badie, is a 3-4 OLB at the next level. He’s got great size at 6’4 and extremely long arms for a linebacker. He moves well in space and does a good job of coming to balance on tackles. He recently picked up offers from Toledo, Minnesota, Purdue, and Iowa State. This kid has a very high ceiling, and there will be a lot more programs that will come into the picture soon.
Saveon Brown Saveon Brown 6'1" | 195 lbs | DB Thornwood | 2022 State IL , 6’, 185, Thornwood
If you haven’t seen this kid in-person, you need to. He plays defensive back, but he’s chiseled like a linebacker. He’s so athletic and has the ability to play both corner and safety. He’s got such a high football IQ and reads the QB very well. Iowa State was his most recent offer, and it won’t be his last. This kid is a Major Power Five talent whose time is coming very soon.
