Western Big 6 Virtual Showcase: 2022’s on the rise

Tuesday night I had the pleasure of joining in on the virtual showcase hosted by the Western Big 6 coaches. Each coach talked about their players in the 2021 &amp; 2022 class that have the ability to play at the next level to college coaches and scouts. Below are the 2022’s that were discussed by the coaches. <hr /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Rock Island:</strong></em></span> <em>[player_tooltip player_id="20862" first="Eli" last="Reese"] QB 6’3 207 lbs 2.86 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355226185949736961?s=20 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Alleman:</strong></em></span> <em>Charlie Jagusah T 6’6 280 lbs 3.66 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355227489954627586?s=20 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Moline:</strong></em></span> <em>Gavin Grace LB/RB 5’11 200 lbs 3.3 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355239621769179137?s=20 <em>Matthew Bailey QB/S 6’1 175 lbs 4.0 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355258478940606464?s=20 <em>Cranston Wall ATH 5’11 175 lbs 4.0 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355259392644550657?s=20 <em>Noah Harrison WR/DB 5’10 160 lbs 3.7 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355261617219522565?s=20 <em>Alec Ponder QB 6'2 185 lbs 2.75 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355501315179356162?s=20 <em>Trey Maranda OLB 5'8 164 lbs </em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355504501030072321?s=20 <em style="font-size: 1rem;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Geneseo:</span></strong></em> <em><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Jon Maxwell MLB/RB 6’1 185 lbs</span></em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355264346088222720?s=20 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Galesburg:</strong></em></span> <em>[player_tooltip player_id="65810" first="Hunter" last="DeVena"] OLB/TE 6’2 210 lbs 3.5 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355265091307003905?s=20 <em>[player_tooltip player_id="65734" first="Dre" last="Egipciaco"] WR 6’1 180 lbs 2.63 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355265798571511808?s=20 <em>[player_tooltip player_id="20895" first="Aaron" last="Carl"] TE/OLB 6’5 230 lbs 4.05 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355266408540680192?s=20 <em>Grant Allen QB/WR 5’10 170 lbs 4.05 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355267965621592069?s=20 <em>Jeremiah Morris G/DT 6’0 235 lbs 3.38 GPA</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355268564832366593?s=20 <em>Kannon Kleine MLB/FB 5’9 210 lbs 3.69 GPA - Galesburg</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355266944400830474?s=20 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong style="font-size: 1rem;"><em>United Township:</em></strong></span> <em>Damahz Slater CB/WR 6’0 155 lbs</em> https://twitter.com/Jamaskane/status/1355269950466908161?s=20 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Notables: </strong></em></span> <em>Alejandro Arellano OL/DE 6’2 230 lbs 3.844 GPA - Sterling</em> <em>Thomas Schafer OL 6’2 280 lbs 3.471 GPA - Sterling</em> <em>Kai Rios TE/OLB 6’6 225 lbs 3.96 GPA - Rock Island</em> <em>Marieon Anderson WR/DB 6’4 175 lbs - Rock Island</em> <em>Jacob Rohwer Utility 3.32 GPA - Rock Island</em> <em>Jason Bowker T/DT 3.45 GPA - Alleman</em> <em>Quinten Fonseca 5’10 165 lbs 4.94 GPA - Alleman</em> <em>Adrian Alvarez G/DT 6’1 240 lbs 3.0 GPA - Moline</em> <em>Gatlin Ford T/DE  6’2 300 lbs 1.5 GPA - Moline</em> <em>Ayden Kehl TE/LB 6’2 205 lbs 2.3 GPA - Moline</em> <em>Anthony Pierce DB 5’10 165 lbs - Geneseo</em> <em>Andrew Cotty DB 5’11 150 lbs - Geneseo</em> <em>Alex Egipciaco RB 6’1 190 lbs 2.52 GPA - Galesburg</em> <em>Jermany Goods OL 6’4 320 lbs 2.31 GPA - Galesburg</em> <em>John Rehn K 5’10 160 lbs 4.08 GPA - Galesburg</em> <em>Makhi Lewis WR Quincy</em> <hr /> I want to thank the Western Big 6 coaches for hosting a great virtual showcase and for having me be apart of their zoom call. Keep an eye on these 2022’s, they still have room to develop their skillset and hone their craft. Whoever gets them into their program is going to get players that are hungry and determined to make the most out of the opportunity.
