[player_tooltip player_id="20895" first="Aaron" last="Carl"]- Galesburg HS- 22 (TE/OLB) 6’5” 240 lb [player_tooltip player_id="20895" first="Aaron" last="Carl"] is a hybrid H back/TE standing at 6’5 240 pounds. During the spring season, Aaron didn’t really get the numbers in pass catching that his potential suggests. In the month of June, he showed that at the camps he attended that he’s a solid blocker and can be a consistent receiving weapon.   [player_tooltip player_id="20890" first="Max" last="Reese"]- Fenwick HS- 22 (WR/TE) 6’3” 220 This is a kid who has listed himself as a wideout and a tight end. Although many prospects do so, he is a player that can do both. Max began to stand out this summer by showing out at the Florida State mega camp in early June. This started with his measurables of 6’3” 220 pounds, and a 6’7” wingspan. It then became evident, when he ran a 4.6 in his 40 and performed in one on ones. He’s showing a great burst off of the line and great body control. Max spent June starting visits to Division 1 schools, and with his performance in June, multiple offers will start to come.   [player_tooltip player_id="20889" first="Evan" last="King"]- Tinley Park HS- 22 (TE/LB) 6’4” 230 [player_tooltip player_id="20889" first="Evan" last="King"] out of Tinley Park, is starting to get on multiple coaches’ radar as the possession receiver he is. Like many players in Illinois, he has had to work extra to turn heads in June because of having his season in the spring. Evan has good size at 6’4” 230 pounds and has done a great job at creating separation and winning contested catches. He has excelled catching passes down the seam and along the sideline. Evan will be a threat to defenses this fall and at the next level. Coaches are starting to realize that   [player_tooltip player_id="65770" first="Aleks" last="Popovic"]- Lake Zurich- 6’3 235-22 6’3” 235 lb [player_tooltip player_id="65770" first="Aleks" last="Popovic"] is on a positive incline on becoming one of the top tight ends in Illinois. In June he has stood out with his ability to do everything well. Aleks has the tools to be an athlete that can play with his hand in the ground and as an H-back. He started off June with a bang, receiving an offer from Grand Valley State University. Since then he has taken some visits to some Ivy League schools. With his solid performance at the Vanderbilt University camp and school visits, Aleks is building his resume to have a strong fall season.
