Trystan Anderson: Buffalo Grove HS- 6’4 220 lb
The 6’4” 220-pound Rushman out of Buffalo Grove has been a beast in the month of June. Trystan Anderson is a lean 220 pounds but plays with strength. He moves well at his size, showing quickness and explosiveness out of his stance. Hasn’t been shy with contact at all, and even being at 6’4”, Trystan understands that low man wins. This was clear in his one on one drills that took place at the North Dakota State camp.
Grayson Dexter Grayson Dexter 6'4" | 245 lbs | OL Bradley-Bourbonnais | 2022 State IL : Bradley Bourbonnais HS- 6’4” 235 lb
Grayson Dexter Grayson Dexter 6'4" | 245 lbs | OL Bradley-Bourbonnais | 2022 State IL is a versatile big man who has performed well this June. He has been attending a variety of camps this summer. In showing his ability to use his length and strength, he has been getting the attention of D3 coaches. With his performance at the Illinois State football camp, he put a stamp on his ability to be one of the more coveted big men at the D3 level for both DL and OL.
Jireh Mays Jireh Mays 6'2" | 320 lbs | DL East St. Louis | 2022 State IL : East St. Louis HS- 6’2” 320 lb
Jireh Mays Jireh Mays 6'2" | 320 lbs | DL East St. Louis | 2022 State IL has put together a June to remember. He has been nothing short of a juggernaut. Jireh has shown off his quick feet, strength, and relentless motor at every camp that he has attended this summer. Most of his one on ones were not really close, due to the motor of Jireh. Once engaged, he does not stop until he wins. Jireh picked up his first Division 1 offer in June and will continue to turn heads moving into the fall.
Connor Murphy Connor Murphy 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Glenbard South | 2022 State IL : Glenbard South HS- 6’3” 235 lb
Glenbard south’s Connor Murphy Connor Murphy 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Glenbard South | 2022 State IL has been competing non-stop this summer. Throughout the midwestern camps that he has attended, he has stood out with his fast hands, strong motor, and his ability to dip and rip. I believe that he started showing his best towards the end of June at the Northern Illinois camp, along with the camps in North/South Dakota.
Nasim Cairo Nasim Cairo 6'2" | 265 lbs | DL Edwardsville | 2022 State IL : Edwardsville HS 6’2” 280 lb
The NT out of Edwardsville HS who most of the time plays either a 1 or 3 technique, has been a player that I have enjoyed breaking down on film, and during camps in June. Nasim is explosive off of the line and has fast hands. Having great strength, Nasim’s bull rush and long arm are his aces. He started picking up some offers after the spring season but has put together a couple of division 1 offers in June following his camp performances.
