Conner knows how to finish tackles. <strong>LB, [player_tooltip player_id="100794" first="Abram" last="Phillips"], 5’11”, 195, Olathe North</strong> – Phillips is a raw prospect with a high upside. His numbers in 2020 don’t pop out at you, but is athleticism does. He finished his senior season with 49 tackles, one sack, and one fumble recovery. A year of work in the weight room and practice would help the young man mature if he were to be red-shirted. <strong>LB, [player_tooltip player_id="100167" first="Chase" last="Wilm"], 6’3”, 200, Spring Hill</strong> – Wilm is the third Kansas linebacker in this recruiting class for Benedictine.

He a tough customer who projects as a strong or free safety. He is quick and likes to hit people. <strong>TE, Braden Cain, 6’2”, 210, Olathe North </strong>– Cain is an interesting prospect. The Olathe North senior scored four touchdowns in 2020. Both of his receptions in 2020 were for touchdowns and he added two rushing scores. He is fast for his size and could have an impact in goal-line situations in the future. <strong>WR, Danny Joyce, 6’2”, 195, Shawnee Mission East </strong>– Joyce is not afraid to run routes in the middle of the field. He is a sure-handed receiver, who will be a dangerous option on third down.
