Central and Southern Illinois OL/TE PRZ 22′ Ranking Breakdown

Here is a positional breakdown of the Central and Southern Illinois seniors that cracked our Prep Redzone Rankings. We take a look at our blockers upfront and our hybrid offensive linemen at the tight end position. The trenches are where games are won and lost throughout all levels of football scouting; these young men were fun to watch. PRZR= Prep Red Zone Ranking Overall/Position <hr /> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="20897" first="Tyler" last="Dwinal"], 6’4" 235, TE, Normal Community PRZR-94th/10th</h5> Has that size your looking for at the position. Tyler comes off the line fast and runs through defenders when on the block. His route running is excellent; he does a great job catching the ball in traffic and on the run-up the seam. He is a tough player to bring down when he gets in open space. He should have a great senior year as a top pass catcher for QB [player_tooltip player_id="155034" first="Chase" last="Mackey"]. <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="65723" first="Max" last="Bremer"], 6’2" 220,TE, Massac County, PRZR-106th/12th</h5> Mr. Bremer is a physical player with a relentlessly high motor. His blocking is above average because of how low he fires out while driving into the defender's hip. A quick first step with good route running doesn't allow the defender to push him off the route. With his size, he will pose mismatches in the secondary often. <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="155274" first="Ryan" last="Buttz"], 6’4" 275, OL, Mt Zion, PRZR-127th/12th</h5> He plays the left tackle position on the line, but I saw him playing center as well. He keeps his head on a swivel looking for anyone to run over downfield. When engaged with the defender, he doesn't stop till they are in the dirt. Powerful blocker consistently churring his feet to the whistle through all levels of the defense. <h5><span class="first-name">Melvin </span><span class="last-name">Priestly,</span>6’4" 315, OL, East St Louis, PRZR-168th/18th</h5> Melvin is the kind of guard every team wants; he is strong, quick, and a mean streak that doesn't quit. He does a superb job pulling down the line into the hole with his head looking inside for anyone crossing his face. Excels at scooping to the next level and finishing off the block. <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="155284" first="Aidan" last="Clark"], 6’1" 280, OL, Eldorado, PRZR-203rd/22nd</h5> Aidan has good footwork for his size. In addition, he has a high football IQ; he puts himself in place for his ball carrier to make a play—a robust and powerful blocker when he gets his hands on you. <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="154084" first="Caden" last="Plummer"], 5’9" 190, TE, Mount Vernon Township, PRZR- 290th/14th</h5> Plummer doesn't have your typical size at the TE; he is more of a Y in the offense. His blocking is top-notch when engaging the defender off the line and downfield. He has excellent hands catching everything in his direction while fighting for every yard after the catch. A high football IQ with a high motor puts him in a position to make plays. Caden is a motivated hardworking young man and a captain of the team. <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="155281" first="Logan" last="Kreiter"], 6’9" 350, OL, Fairfield, PRZR-338th/40th</h5> Towering at 6'9, he is a wall at the LT position who has powerful hand strength. He does an excellent job keeping defenders in front of him when pass protecting. In addition, his run block is good when reaching the 2nd level.  When he gets downfield moving its tough to get through or around him to get to the ball carrier. <h5>Evertt Mathus, 6’0" 240, OL, Mount Vernon Township, PRZR-346th/41st</h5> Everett is a center with a quick shotgun snap who takes on the block with a flawless transition. His run block is driving the defender into the ground and not stopping until the job is done. His pass protection is good with solid footwork. High football IQ makes him a prototypical center that can direct the offensive line. <hr /> Concludes the offensive linemen and tight end positional breakdown for Central and Southern Illinois for the recently updated 2022 Prep Redzone Rankings.
