Marcus Brown (24’ QB) Brother Rice – 3.6 GPA
Brown is going to be an up and coming QB for Brother Rice that is already turning heads with his ability. Of course, he’s young and still has room to grow/develop his craft, he also already exhibits QB skills that you typically won’t see until the player is a Junior. Brown has a high ceiling and untapped potential just waiting to blossom.
Payton Young (23′ RB/S) Merriville (IN) – 3.0 GPA
Young can catch coming out of the backfield where he plants his foot to get upfield and uses his quick acceleration to blow by defenders for a huge gain. He’s an N/S runner who has solid jump cuts and explodes through the running lanes. Young plays at his own speed, keep an eye on this young man as he will turn heads left and right once he hones his craft further.
Marcus Kennedy (23′ WR) Brother Rice – 3.0 GPA
Kennedy runs a nice three-step slant where his speed with his head fake creates separation by faking the defender out. He’s quick off the LOS and once he catches the ball he plants his foot to get upfield.
Joshua Gipson (23′ WR) Hillcrest
Gipson has a quick burst of acceleration off the LOS, he uses his agility/body control to evade tackles. He has a solid speed cut for how young of a player he is and makes catches in traffic. There isn’t any film on him as of yet, I expect this to change once the spring season starts.
Notables:
Cory Stennis (23’ QB) Rich Township – 3.0 GPA
Zach Zaulinzkey (23′ RB) Lincoln-Way East – 3.7 GPA
Gregory Samlor (23′ WR) Rich Township – 3.7 GPA
Ryan Tate-Walker (23′ WR/S) Homewood-Flossmoor – 3.4 GPA
Quinn Kelly (23′ WR) St. Rita – 4.17 GPA
Anthony Listenbee (23′ WR) TF South – 2.8 GPA
Stephan Gardner (24′ WR) Lincoln-Way East – 3.1 GPA
Jarett Pran (23′ ATH) Rich East – 2.9 GPA
This Legacy 2023 team is going to cause problems when they start competing. Each of these players makes plays for their respected teams and aren’t going to disappoint in this shortened season. I would like to thank the Legacy 7 on 7 staff for their hospitality and for having me out for their practice. They have a great program that focuses on developing kids for the next level and preparing them for life after football.
