DL Tommy Hagen
Lafayette
C/o 2022
Lafayette had a pretty good year in 2020. Hagen showed a lot of growth this year, and he’s going to be a huge threat to offenses in Missouri next season. Last season, Hagen had 46 tackles and 4 sacks. He can play anywhere on the line and maneuver his way into the backfield. Offensive linemen have a lot of trouble blocking Hagen, which puts quarterbacks in serious danger. He is also a hard hitter and has great pursuit to the ball.
WR Ryan Boyd
East St. Louis High School
C/o 2023
This kid is really special. Boyd is one of the best young receivers in the midwest. He’s a great route runner, he’s fast, and he has reach. The 5’10 receiver has the ability to go up and grab anything thrown in the air. During winter break, Boyd had participated in the Next Gen camp at IMG Academy, showing out for Team Truth, and he received two wide receiver MVP awards. He also showed out at the Boom Best of the Best camp. Boyd is going to be a problem this spring in the Illinois area, carrying on the legacy of the talented Flyers receiving core.
DB Eric Brown
Hazelwood Central High School
C/o 2022
Brown is a major X factor for the Hawks. He is a hard working defensive back that loves the game of football. In the 2019 season, Brown had 32 tackles and two interceptions. He has great instincts, good patience, and can contain the outside during open field tackling. Brown can also play excellent man-to-man coverage. During the long offseason, he has been putting in a lot of work perfecting his craft for this upcoming spring season. Brown is going to be a shut down corner for this spring 2021 season.
ATH Jaiden Vonner
Hazelwood West High School
C/o 2024
Vonner is an all around athlete. He is a lockdown corner that has great patience and is a magnet for the ball. Vonner will be a great player for Hazelwood West in the spring. He has also been putting in a lot of work over the offseason, training with Elite Speed and Elite Performance Academy. Although he’s young, he will grow rapidly into a standout athlete by his senior year.
QB Brian Golden
Ritenour High School
C/o 2021
Although Ritenour had a rough season in 2019, Golden still fought hard for his team. Golden has great vision and is able to get rid of the ball under 3 seconds, being accurate in his quick passes. Not only Golden can throw really well, he is also a great runner. His playing style is similar to Lamar Jackson with his running style and throwing ability. Last season, Golden had 654 yards and 7 touchdowns. He also rushed for 678 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Golden will have a breakout senior season this spring and is looking forward to leading his team towards a winning season.
