24' Rankings New Additions Pt. 13

<h2>Our PrepRedzone Illinois Class of 24’ Rankings just got updated after hours of film analysis and adding new young men to the rankings. This is going to be a long series of new additions to our rankings to make sure that each young man is highlighted. That being said, there are P5 caliber recruits down to D3/JUCO recruits. The moral of the story, each of these young men did the work and deserved a spot in our rankings. We’re here to highlight their hard work. Without further ado, let’s take a look at Pt. 13 of our New Additions to the 24’ Rankings.</h2>   <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size"><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://prepredzone.com/illinois/rankings/2024-rankings/" target="_blank"><strong>Come take a look at our FULL 24’ Rankings HERE!</strong></a></p>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="354132" first="Luis" last="Estrella"] <a href="https://twitter.com/_estrella11_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em></p>   <p>Mr. Estrella is an inside linebacker that flashes his ability to shoot through the A gap to disrupt plays in the backfield as he comes on a blitz. Once he gets into the backfield, he can close quickly on the ball carrier to secure the tackle at/near the line of scrimmage for no/little gain on the play. If the play is going outside the tackle, he can flow to the ball and take pursuit angles to secure the tackle on the perimeter for no gain on the play. Overall, this young man is currently more of a run support inside linebacker given his current skill set.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_estrella11_/status/1452493544338477057?s=20u0026t=r2OYOmihpvvyvny8lUPeeQ </div></figure>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="354182" first="Ryan" last="McIntrye"] <a href="https://twitter.com/Ryan2McIntyre" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em></p>   <p>Mr. McIntyre is a slot receiver that flashes his ability to find the soft spot in zone coverage and stalk blocking in run support. When he secures the bubble screen he can get vertical using his foot quicks to gain net positive yards on the play. If this young man is able to make the first defender miss consistently you’ll start to see this young man break long runs more often as he has the foot quicks to outrun pursuing defenders. On defense, he lines up at cornerback where he flashes his fluid flip of his hips to stay with the receiver running post routes and can then make a play on the ball forcing pass breakups. Overall, this is a young man that I’m going to be keeping a close eye on this fall season.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KahokGridiron/status/1520196963366576128?s=20u0026t=ewBKeOzKQEfXoX-ByhbjjQ </div></figure>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="354145" first="Lavelle" last="Hardy"] <a href="https://twitter.com/lavellehardy4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em></p>   <p>Mr. Hardy is an outside receiver that’s quick off the line of scrimmage and uses this to close the cushion on the defender playing in off coverage to win over the top on deep shots downfield. When doing so, this young man has the ability to go up for 50/50 balls securing the contested catch over the defender as he plays above the rim and can track the ball well. In run support, he also can stall block downfield on the perimeter giving the ball carrier an alley to hit off his block. Overall, you could very well see this young man’s stock rise after this fall season and possibly turn a few heads in the process with his untapped potential coming to light.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/lavellehardy4/status/1451312649321463808?s=20u0026t=ab1mZx3m-wIS5QXN-tUS6w </div></figure>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="299597" first="Matthew" last="Janiak"] <a href="https://twitter.com/MatthewJaniak3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em></p>   <p>Mr. Janiak is an inside linebacker that can trigger downhill quickly in close space to meet the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage for no gain on the play. At times, he can slip the run block to disrupt plays in the backfield as well as does a good job plugging the gaps in run support. I’m interested to see how consistent this young man can be in pass protection as there isn’t a big pool of clips below to go off of. Overall, this young man is more of a run stopping inside linebacker that isn’t afraid to get his nose in the pile to make a play on the ball.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MatthewJaniak3/status/1537465976903684097?s=20u0026t=f6H1GcjZPSM2KXUVVcQeoQ </div></figure>   <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="276665" first="Nicholas" last="Baser"] <a href="https://twitter.com/baser_nicholas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></strong></em></p>   <p>Mr. Baser is a young man that flashes his ability to fire out of his stance and latch on quickly when he’s blocking in-line. Once he gets his hands inside he keeps his feet driving through the whistle resulting in the defender being driven 5+ yards downfield. What stands out the most about this young man is his ability to work through the whistle when he’s on the 2nd level to delvier heavy blows to create an alley for his halfback. One area that I’m interested to see develop further is his pass protection as he flashes the ability to mirror the rushing defender at the point of attack while at times the bull rush can get the better of him driving him back into the QB. Overall, this young man’s aggressive and attacking playstyle are one to keep an eye on heading into this fall season.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/baser_nicholas/status/1465854624175476740?s=20u0026t=PXYyCc35G0Wx0QHlBKnGTw </div></figure>   <p><em>Be sure to follow <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZJordan">@PRZJordan</a> regarding news & information for Illinois High School Football as well as <a href="https://twitter.com/prepredzoneIL">@PrepRedzoneIL</a>. </em></p>   <p><em>Want to be ranked?
