He shows good patience in pass protection and a finish and tenacity in the run game. Joe currently plays center but he would be equally valuable at guard at the next level. Look for Joe to be on the camp circuit this summer and impressing some of the major D3 schools in the area.

He is one half of a great combo at Oswego East. Definitely has the frame to add another 50 pounds to his body weight and I would expect after an off-season in the weight room he will be closer to 275 than the 240 he played as a junior. He works VERY hard at perfecting his craft and is starting to be noticed by the top FCS schools in the country. Look for a big senior season from Zac in 2023.

He currently plays tackle and does so with very good feet and a great patience in pass protection but I think his future lies at IOL where he can continue to maul people in the run game. He is another great student of the game (3.7 GPA) and it shows on his film. He has a quick first step and once he gets his hands on you it usually ends up with the defender on the ground. He is gathering a ton of FCS interest this spring and I look for him to have a big 2023 season as well.

He has great hands in pass protection and is very patient while setting to the defender. As with a few other guys on this list, once he latches on to his defender it's good night. Another great student of the game (3.33 GPA), this part time wrestler, full time mauler is going to make whatever program he signs with very happy.

He is an absolute tank in the weight room (500 LB squat) and it transfers to the gridiron. He is a guard for Huntley and I definitely see him staying interior when he gets to college. Another great student (3.5 GPA) I can see Jack landing at a power D3 and forcing his way onto the field sooner rather than later.

His work off the field in the classroom (3.6 GPA) and in the weight room (400+ LB Squat) is what makes him stand out as an intriguing player at the next level. He has played some tackle but I fully expect him to be at guard or center at the next level. Vinny has made his rounds as a junior and I fully expect him to be a multi year starter in the CCIW moving forward.
