Top 2024 returners for the BIG 12 Conference

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another top conference from south of I80 has some very intriguing returners and prospects. Take a look below and see for yourself. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["271879"],"_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":"The trigger man for one of the top rushing offenses in the state of Illinois, you would think that all he does is hand the ball off and watch, but that is FAR from the truth for Tino. He has a quick release, great accuracy and does a phenomenal job throwing on the move. He returns for his senior year in 2023 having thrown for over 2500 yards and 30+ touchdowns his Junior Year. With the graduation of a 3000 yard rusher, I would look for Tino to better all of those numbers as he tries to lead Peoria back to the state championship once gain.

I would dare to say that he is quicker than he is fast but then you watch him break away from defenders in the open field and throw all of that out the window. Does a great job tracking the ball in the air on offense and defense and opposing teams have to know where he is at all times on the field. Look for another stellar season in 2023 and improvement on all of his numbers from a year ago.

He does a great job with his hands of shedding blockers and his athletic ability allows him to bend the edge to chase down QBs. He's also a heck of a pulling guard and can long snap to boot! I look for his future on the defensive side of the ball at the next level and he has started to gather some interest from the MAC and major FCS programs.

He manned the middle of the NCHS defense with the speed to play sideline to sideline and the size to fill gaps in the middle. His trigger in the run game is exceptional and when he arrives at the ball carrier it is fast and aggressive. Another top wrestler (220lb) he handles himself off the field as well as on it (3.7 GPA) and I look for him to have another big season in 2023 on the field and also on the mat.

He makes plays all over the field as a receiver and defender and I think his best football is still ahead of him. Once he can master his route running paired with his already good hands, I look for big things from Jaivyn in 2023. He also doubles as a top player on the hardcourt for the Knight basketball team.

He has the size to bully offensive linemen inside and the speed to catch down the quickest of skill players on the edge. Peoria uses him all over the field on defense but I can see him settling into an overhang defender at the next level. He has picked up offers from Illinois State and Western Illinois this past month and look for many more to come in the future.

He isn't asked to cover receivers that often, but when he does he has the speed and quickness to make plays in space. He should have another big season in 2023 for the Vikings.

He has great snap off of the football and is a demon in the run game. He has some work to do in pass protection but I look for a marked improvement in that category with a year of weight room and experience heading into 2023.
