Meet the Midwest’s Biggest 8th Grade Football Players

As families around the country being preparations for Thanksgiving dinner, I couldn’t think of a better time to go region by region and look at some of the biggest 8^th graders I’ve found in the country. Today I’ll start it off with the Midwest and take a look at some of the biggest, nastiest dudes from the heartland of this country. Turkey and all the wonderful side dishes that come with Thanksgiving dinner stand no shot at making it around the table without a stop at these kids’ seats. While these kids won’t even graduate high school until 2026, they have the size of college football players already. In this time of giving thanks, please be thankful you’re not responsible for the grocery bill in these homes. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236409" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/JaquariusGreen--300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Jaquarius Green | Illinois | 6’4, 301 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236413" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/JCAnderson-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>JC Anderson | Illinois | 6’5, 210 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-227655" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/BenjaminEziuka-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Benjamin Eziuka | Michigan | 6’3, 270 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-227657" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/BenNichols-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Ben Nichols | Michigan | 6’5, 295 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-227654" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/TristanComer-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Tristan Comer | Michigan | 6’7, 215 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236417" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/BradenPetzel-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Braden Petzel | Minnesota | 6’9, 180 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236418" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/DarshawnSpargling-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Darshawn Spargling | Ohio | 6’3, 260 pounds</strong> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-236419" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/11/JerryJackson-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <strong>Jerry Jackson | Nebraska | 6'1, 270 pounds</strong> &nbsp;
