Chase Hanson, QB, Mascoutah, 2022, Twitter @Ac3Hanson
Chase is a solid dual-threat QB with the arm going with it. He does a great job reading the play and getting through open lanes given by the defense. He is running a 4.43, which makes him a difficult player to trap in open space—interested to see how he does this season and if he can put these numbers up regularly.

292 pass yards (3 passing tds)
153 rush yards (2 rushing tds)

Displaying great touch on the ball in the pocket and, more impressively, on the run. Every team Keegan will face this season will key on how to stop him. His Dual-threat ability makes it tough for any defense to handle.
Camden Robbins Camden Robbins 6'3" | 185 lbs | ATH Fairfield | 2022 State IL ATH, Fairfeild, 2022, Twitter @camdenw03
Camden plays DB and WR and plays them both incredibly well; this All-State ATH is going to be tough to handle all season. He has the size to jump over the top of defenses, and his hands are like glue combined with incredible speed.
Allen Middleton Allen Middleton 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Mascoutah | 2023 State IL WR, Mascoutah, 2023, Twitter @1AllenMiddleton
He has excellent route-running abilities coupled with his solid footwork. Allen has excellent hands catching the ball in traffic and does a good job sitting in the zone-making catches under the defense.

Billy Bailey, WR, Joliet West, 2023, Twitter @BillyBaileyJr2
Billy hits the edge with good speed on sweeps, has sound footwork without any false steps. He does a job bending around the line, using his vision to slip through the narrowest running lanes.
Gabe Hillard Gabe Hillard 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Carbondale | 2022 State IL ,RB, Carbondale, 2022, Twitter @gabe_hillard
Gabe had a solid outing making some highlight plays throughout it. He showed off his pass-catching skills as well as he found open lanes for YAC. He does run through traffic on the ground, finding lanes and accelerating through them.

Javion Kizer, OL, Carbondale, 2023, Twitter @jboogie56
Javion, when engaged with the defender, is not going to let up on them until they are on their back. He knows how to keep his feet chopping through the block, and at his size does a number to undersized defensive linemen.
Karson King Karson King 5'9" | 165 lbs | RB Kankakee | 2023 State IL RB, Kankakee,2023, Twitter @KarsonKing3
Karson showed off his speed during his weekly performance, outrunning the defense at the 3rd level with ease. He did a great job coming back to his QB in pass situations to save the play.
Silvano Spatafora Silvano Spatafora 5'6" | 175 lbs | RB Neuqua Valley | 2024 IL , RB, Neuqua Valley, 2024, Twitter @silvanospata25
He carries the ball exceptionally well, has good vision, and doesn’t shy away from contact. Silvano does have homerun speed to make the big runs that are daggers to teams.
Carter Baranski, QB, Joliet West, 2022 Twitter @carterbaranski1
Stood firm in the pocket under pressure, completing first down throws. He has an accurate ball inside 25 yards that keep the chains moving.
Lamark Threadgill Lamark Threadgill 5'10" | 155 lbs | DB Carbondale Community | 2022 IL , WR, Carbondale, 2022, @LamarkThreadgi1
He does an excellent job bending the edge on jet sweeps using his track speed. Has sweeping vision when in traffic working to get every yard.
Dash Dorsey Dash Dorsey 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR St Francis | 2023 State IL ,ATH, St. Francis HS, 5’11 170 2023 @DashDorsey
Dorsey, a 2-way starter, demonstrated excellent route running, catching, man-to-man coverage, and speed. He makes it extremely difficult to guard him with his twitchy quick movement in open space.
Jake Metze Jake Metze 5'9" | 170 lbs | ATH Johnsburg | 2023 State IL , ATH, Johnsburg, 2023, Twitter @Jake_Metze13
Playing RB and WR, Jake is a swiss army knife when it comes to playing a position on offense. Anywhere he lines up, he is a threat for big yards with his great hands and quick twitchy movements on his routes, creating significant separation.
Peyton Armstrong Peyton Armstrong 5'10" | 190 lbs | QB Tuscola | 2022 State IL , QB, Tuscola, Twitter @peytonozzy
Peyton demonstrated his dual-threat abilities this past weekend in fine form. He has a good release keeping the ball high, and throws on the run accurately.
Nate Branch Nate Branch 6'2" | 220 lbs | TE Palatine | 2023 State IL TE, Palatine,2023 @NateBranch810
Nate has goods hands making difficult catches more than once in his week one performance. He can open up running lanes with his blocking line up as a Y, inside and out.
Jay Mooring ATH, Fairfield, 2024, Twitter @JayMone00239451
Jay is a fast returner and backup QB that has a canny ability to run through traffic. He will be getting more varsity looks this week; I’m sure after his week one performance.
Nikolas Belski OL, LaSalle-Peru, 2023, Twitter @nikbelski
This young man is a mauler up front putting anyone he touches on their backs. His feet are constantly churning, coming out of his impeccable 3 pt stance.
Week 1 Highlights 🔥🔥
