Joe Palermo
Joe Palermo
An undersized IOL prospect, Joe plays MUCH larger than his 6ft frame shows. 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. His Twitter handle is @Joepalermo59
Just another 6’5+ prospect from above I-80, Zac plays with a nasty streak in the run game and a great hands/feet combination in pass protection. 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. His Twitter handle is @zac_clarke63
Highlights
The other half of the Oswego East combo with Zac Clarke, Tim is a very interesting prospect at multiple spots. 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. His Twitter handle is @tim_savchuk
Highlights
Alex is another prospect who currently plays tackle but who I could see kicking inside to guard once he gets to the next level. 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. His Twitter handle is @AlexPoholik
Highlights
What Jack lacks in height (5’10) he definitely makes up with tenacity, fight and finish on the field. 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 Twitter handle is @jackcru5

The counter punch to Jack Crudele Jack Crudele 5’9″ | 195 lbs | OL Huntley | 2024 IL at Huntley, Vinny is another 5’11 prospect who plays much larger than his measured height. 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. His Twitter handle is @vinnytiberi3
