Brandon Bell Brandon Bell 5'11" | 165 lbs | WR Wheaton Warrenville South | 2022 State IL Jr: Wheaton Warrenville South HS- 6’0 165 lb
Brandon is a receiver that has begun to burst on the scene this year. He started by having a great spring and has continued getting better in the month of June. Brandon has a great feel of tracking the football, bringing in catches from different angles. His greatest attribute is his run after the catch ability. He makes players miss left and right. With back-to-back solid performances at the North Dakota and South Dakota University camps, Brandon has been a stand-out this June.
Quentrell “Trell” Harris: Nazareth Academy- 6’1 185 lb
Nazareth Academy’s Quentrell Harris Quentrell Harris 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Nazareth | 2022 State IL has had a great June. He’s a true athlete who plays both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he plays physically and is very abrupt at the top of his routes. With his strong performances this June, Quentrell has started collecting division one offers.
Santiago Rios Santiago Rios 6'2" | 160 lbs | WR Richards | 2022 State IL : Harold L. Richards HS- 6’2”
Santiago has participated in a camp both in the state of Illinois and Indiana this month of June. I can say that I really like his game. Although he is over 6 feet tall, he has great body control and even better hands. Santiago has a natural instinct to level his body with the ball, and letting the ball be caught away from his body. The prospect out of Richards high school is a solid player and looking to get better.
Trey Johnson Trey Johnson 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Lincoln Way East | 2022 State IL : Lincoln Way East HS- 6’1″ 180 lb
Trey Johnson Trey Johnson 6'2" | 185 lbs | WR Lincoln Way East | 2022 State IL is a versatile player that I have evaluated a lot. He’s a weapon that has played every offensive skill position in his time at Lincoln-Way East. This June, he has put his stamp on the ability to play receiver at a high level. Competing at multiple camps this June, Trey has illustrated his ability to run the entire route tree. His ability to glide in and out of routes with soft hands has had a positive and glaring impact on him this summer.
Myles Walton: Homewood-Flossmoor HS- 5’7” 165 lb
Myles Walton has spent June routing up defenders. He includes the word “twitch” in his Twitter name, and it’s the perfect way to describe his routes. He is a twitchy player that can transition in and out routes at a high level. With strong performances at the NCC and NIU camp, the HF Viking has stood out as a player who cannot be guarded in the slot.
Eddie Kasper Eddie Kasper 5'10" | 155 lbs | WR Wheaton Academy | 2022 State IL : Wheaton Academy-5’10” 155 lb
Eddie Kasper Eddie Kasper 5'10" | 155 lbs | WR Wheaton Academy | 2022 State IL is a player that I continue to see other players retweet about. The content has been about how well he has been performing at camps this summer. Naturally, I took a look, and he did not disappoint. In the month of June, the receiver out of Wheaton academy has shown to be one of the better route runners in Illinois. With his low center of gravity, and his ability to attack defenders’ leverage, his route running technique is well above the high school level.
Jacob Bostick Jacob Bostick 6'3" | 170 lbs | WR Palatine | 2022 State IL : Palatine HS-6’3” 170 lb
Jacob Bostick Jacob Bostick 6'3" | 170 lbs | WR Palatine | 2022 State IL is a taller receiver at 6 foot 3 inches who had a phenomenal spring season. He executed sharp routes with a special burst out of his cuts. He has stood out in June from the power 5 visits that he has gone on. Traveling to schools such as the University of Cincinnati, University of Iowa, etc. has now started the engine of recognition for this 3-star recruit this month.
Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR Metea Valley | 2022 State IL : Matea Valley HS-6’3” 190 lb
The dual-sport athlete has been a blazer on the track and on the football field. Jalen Johnson Jalen Johnson 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR Metea Valley | 2022 State IL is a big-bodied receiver at 6 foot 3 inches, 190 pounds. His acceleration off the line and soft hands when high pointing the ball was on display at the Northern Illinois football camp. Matea Valley has a pass catcher that is going to make a difference this fall.
Ej Nwagwu: St. Rita-6’0” 160 lb
Ej is a player that has been under the radar. St. Rita is a team loaded with talent, and he was still working on himself in the complicated COVID-19 year. This summer, the 200-meter track star has begun to evolve into a slot receiver that can separate from defenders. Look for Ej to have big nights on Friday this fall.
Jack Tremblay Jack Tremblay 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Lincoln Way East | 2022 State IL : Lincoln Way East HS-6’0” 190 lb
Jack Tremblay Jack Tremblay 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Lincoln Way East | 2022 State IL is a player who has been no secret at all this summer. He has attended the Vanderbilt, North Central, Ball State, and Bowling State University camps. It is fair to say that he continues to improve no matter the level of competition that lines up across from him. Doing well in one on ones, and consistently running a top 5 40-yard dash among all camp participants, he’s a player that has definitely stood out in June. FCS and FBS offers are sure to make their way to Jack.
Archie Cox Archie Cox 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Fremd | 2022 State IL : Fremd HS-6’0’ 180 lb
Coming from the southwest suburbs, I haven’t heard of Fremd Highschool. With how Archie has performed in June, I will have the school on my radar this fall. Archie Cox Archie Cox 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Fremd | 2022 State IL is a quick receiver who understands what routes he’s running. This month at the NDSU, NCC, and Harvard camp, Archie had strong performances running smooth routes. The different ways that he can run the comeback routes have put him on notice.
