Central and Southern Illinois OL/RB PRZ 23′ Ranking Breakdown

Here is a positional breakdown of the Central and Southern Illinois Juniors that cracked our Prep Redzone Rankings. We take a look at our offensive line and running backs. PRZR= Prep Red Zone Ranking - Overall/Position <hr /> <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">Miles </span><span class="last-name">McVay, </span>6’7" 345, OL, East St. Louis, PRZR-1st/1st</span></h5> Miles is an All-American offensive tackle ranked #2 in the country and #1 in Illinois. Towering at 6'7, he uses his immense wingspan, exceptional footwork, and extremely high football IQ to make quick work of the defender with a punishing mean streak. He is holding offers from Alabama, Flordia, LSU, Missouri, and many other powerhouse programs, while he looks to lead the Flyers to a State Championship this fall. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">Paris </span><span class="last-name">Patterson, </span>6’4" 325, OL, East St. Louis</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-5th/2nd</span></h5> Paris is an impressively sized guard with a long reach, powerful footwork and finishes the block with conviction. He has strong hands that don't let go when he locks on inside the defender's numbers. He has a high motor plays to the whistle while settling for nothing less than a pancaked defender. Many incoming offers in the future as the Flyers make a state championship run. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">Kaden </span><span class="last-name">Feagin, </span>6’3" 220, RB, Arthur-Lovingston/Atwood-Hammond</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-12th/1st</span></h5> Kaden is a powerful downhill runner that runs through defenders using a vicious stiff arm. He has superb vision accelerating through the hole quickly, and when he breaks in the 2nd level, he will score. Mr. Feagin has all the tools you look for in the running back position, and he has the offers to prove it with Illinois and Rutgers working hard to commit him to their programs. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">[player_tooltip player_id="157736" first="Karson" last="King"], </span>5’9" 165, RB, Kankakee</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-44th/4th</span></h5> Karson has a quick first step that keeps him from being brought down in the backfield. He is highly elusive, breaking down defenders in the hole. He bounces it outside to beat the defenders to the sideline, using his excellent speed to break away for the score. He has a great offensive line this year, and he should look to have a dominant season and add some offers to his resume. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="last-name">[player_tooltip player_id="139470" first="Steven" last="Young"], </span>6’2" 305, OL, Kankakee</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-78th/15th</span></h5> Steven is a big strong mauler of a guard at every level that releases and punishes his defenders. He pulls through the hole with a purpose looking for anyone to cross his face. Excellent pass protection keeping defenders in front of him, and picking up blitz packages effectively. He has the talent, size, and attitude to play at the next level, without a doubt. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">Latravian </span><span class="last-name">Butler, </span>6’7" 300, OL, Kankakee</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-126th/24th</span></h5> Latravian is a towering 6'7 tackle who can use his weight quite well in the pass sets, not leaning too far forward with his big frame while his long reach keeps the defenders at a distance. He has good footwork, strong hands, and a good attitude for the position. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">[player_tooltip player_id="158000" first="Kobe" last="Coburn"]</span><span class="last-name">, </span>6’1" 260, OL, Effingham</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-129th/25th</span></h5> Kobe has a high motor driving the defender off the ball without any quit. He is quick off the line and to the point of attack on the 2nd level, opening up big lanes for his ball carriers. I always like a tape of an offensive lineman blocking defenders out of bounds its good to see out of your offensive linemen. He should hear from college teams when he has a successful junior season. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">[player_tooltip player_id="157746" first="Parker" last="Price"]</span><span class="last-name">, </span>6’1" 180, RB, Eldorado</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-166th/15th</span></h5> Parker has good size for the running back position as a junior, so he should put on more weight as he goes to handle the workload. He has good vision between the tackles and doesn't shy away from contact while fighting for that extra yard. Mr. Price is a running back to keep an eye on this fall will be interesting to see how well he performs. <h5><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="first-name">Scott </span><span class="last-name">Webb, </span>6’3" 275, OL, Clinton</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">, PRZR-175th/31st</span></h5> Scott is a good size tackle with a punishing mean streak. He engages inside the numbers and chops his feet with a good bench press. He finishes his block with his high motor the defender has a hard time disengaging. Has a good understanding of how to double team and chip to the next level. Mr. Webb will be on the rise this fall, climbing these rankings and garnering college recruiter attention. <hr /> Concludes the offensive linemen and running backs positional breakdown for Central and Southern Illinois for the recently updated 2023 Prep Redzone Rankings.
