Illinois’ Top Transfers Entering 2020

<strong>Antonio Torres, RB, 5'8, 180, Waubonsie Valley-&gt;Naperville Central, JR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/11228283_9a93a05206ac407da06747735a1842d7.jpg" /> A smaller, shiftier back who can split out wide and play in the slot. Torres runs with low pad level and features impressive balance for a younger back. He is a physical runner and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder on opposing defenders. <strong>Benjamin Parrott, QB, 6', 170, Mountain Brook (AL)-&gt;Nazareth, SO</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/9954665_74518446649f462ba9241f690fc861d1.jpg" /> On-film, Parrot is a master at throwing on the run &amp; and has good touch on his deep ball. He has noticeably good footwork &amp; can extends plays when the pocket breaks down. Last fall, he played JV at Mountain Brook and dominated, I'm looking forward to seeing him compete against varsity competition. <strong>Vincenzo Meschi, QB, 6'2, 195, Batavia-&gt;Bolingbrook, SR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/9448670_8afdfdd59314420e99ae1035fa969798.jpg" /> Meschi does a great job of diagnosing a blitz and getting the ball out quickly. He has great timing with his wide receivers and will consistently hit them in stride. He has a natural throwing motion and features some serious zip on his ball. <strong>Jackson Certa, LB, 6'1, 205, Aurora Christian-&gt;Kaneland, SR</strong> <img class="" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJhkLNPWkAAs0Wn?format=jpg&amp;name=large" alt="Image" width="321" height="548" /> Certa was a TFL machine in 2020 and practically lived in the backfield last fall. He's exceptionally versatile, in the sense that he can line up in space as an OLB or rolled up on the line as a 6 technique. He does a great job fighting off blocks and running through tackles. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="20932" first="Peter" last="Roll"], DB, 6'1, 180, Lake Park-&gt;Nazareth, JR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/11354997_f80f9450c5f440c29150809b14c0bbd2.jpg" /> Roll does a great job coming to balance and makes tackles look almost effortless. He has a smooth backpedal and is equipped with tight breaks. I think he's an ideal fit at strong safety and could even grow into an OLB at the next level. <strong>Jordan Young-White, LB, 6', 210, Waubonsie Valley-&gt;Aurora East, SR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/9461423_7314b941cd1744e182379cfab0c489a7.jpg" /> This kid is a true mike linebacker at the next level and on tape is a sideline to sideline runner. He's very twitchy and showed uncommon burst for an interior LB prospect. White showed he could play in space if need be, and was a natural in pass coverage. <strong>Brett Galletti, QB, 6'1, 205, Ottawa-&gt;Lincoln-Way East, SR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/9663476_8f087140091e47188ef50a2feca004b7.jpg" /> Galleti is a natural fit in a wide-open, spread offense. He's an intelligent quarterback prospect who can make something happen when the pocket collapses. Galleti knows how to look off safeties and has overall impressive deep ball accuracy <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="20911" first="Kevin" last="Frazier"], DL, 6'1, 260, Fenwick-&gt;Brother Rice, JR</strong> <img src="https://static.hudl.com/users/prod/11605072_45f7ffd51b27451bb7cf9daed70b7c3b.jpg" /> Frazier has a great first step and plays with a magnificent sense of urgency when getting off the football. He has fast hands and can overpower offensive lineman with a bullrush as a changeup. I think this kids stock is only going to rise in the near future. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="20276" first="Cole" last="Rusk"] TE, 6'6, 230, Rockridge-&gt;Rock Island, SR</strong> Rusk is arguably the state's fastest rising tight end prospect. In 2019 he had plenty of production finishing with 38 catches for 684 yards and 9 touchdowns. He's a long strider with solid build up speed, who attacks the football at its highest point.
