<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article series we're going to be taking a look at the Class of 23', more specifically diving into individuals that increased their recruiting stock since last fall.

Without further ado, let's dive into part three of this multi-part series diving into the stock risers in the class of 23. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size"><strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://prepredzone.com/illinois/rankings/2023-rankings/" target="_blank">Take a look at the FULL 23′ Rankings Here!</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fee2d2faa35","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248219"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Mr. DiFranco is a high-motor type of defensive lineman who can get after it consistently.

Just turn on this young man's film and you'll see just how dominant of a run blocker he is. So much so, that he ended up picking up offers from Eastern Illinois University and Kent State University to name a few. This young man ended up committing to Kent State University back in June giving himself a place to call home once his senior season is completed. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Chrisfarrell32u0022u003eTwitter u003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499febc0e0a3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fee30dfaa37","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["162308"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Mr. Halley is another dominant offensive lineman that we have in the state.

Standing at 6'6' 225, this young man has a good frame to work with out of the tight end position. Here, he's able to go up for  50/50 balls to secure contested catches as well as showcase his long catch radius. Even though he doesn't currently hold any offers at the moment, be sure to keep a close eye on how he produces this fall as his potential is off the limits heading into this season. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/HyattTimoscieku0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499febc0e0ea"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fee35efaa3a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["267953"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Mr. Brown is a defensive back that can take good breaks to make a play on the ball and has a smooth fluid flip of his hips to transition well. Yes, he stands at 5'10 170 but don't let that deter you away from this talented young man. His skill set is one that you don't want to pass up as he can come away with big plays in key moments of the game swinging momentum back into your team's favor. With that being said, he does hold an offer from Roosevelt University. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Johnbrown3__u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499febc0e10b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Be sure to follow&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PRZJordan">@PRZJordan</a>&nbsp;regarding news &amp; information for Illinois High School Football as well as&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/prepredzoneIL">@PrepRedzoneIL</a>.&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Want to be ranked?
