The 6’6, 230 lb Northbrook product is one of the top tight end prospects in a loaded class from the state of Illinois this year. The Northwestern commit is staying close to home. Schaller has a massive frame and moves extremely well. He is a smooth route runner and showcases the ability to make contested catches. His height in the red zone is obviously a major asset, but Schaller tape flashes with all different types of catches. He is more of a wide receiver than a true blocking tight end, but also excels when asked to block smaller defensive backs as well as defensive ends. Schaller is also an excellent basketball player and also showcases some impressive plays at outside linebacker.
The class of 2024 wide receiver impresses in many different ways as the leading receiver for Trevians. Cremascoli has a great frame, measuring in at 6’3, 210 lbs. While he has linebacker size, make no mistake that Cremascoli can absolutely fly. He moves in and out of breaks while when running routes and has the ability to stack defensive backs and beat them with speed. Once Cremascoli gets to the top of his route and secures the ball, he has breakaway speed that makes it difficult for defenders to catch him. He is a true do-it-all receiver, as Cremascoli makes some spectacular catches, is hard to tackle in the open field, and is a willing blocker.
Highlights
Agosto stands at 5’11 and weighs 180 lbs. The quick-twitch wide receiver from Park Ridge impressed with his junior film. He is extremely fast and showcases elite breakaway speed that is extremely hard for defenders to keep up with. Agosto is a smooth route runner who creates separation through both speed and strong technique. He is elusive enough to beat press coverage at the line of scrimmage and torches off coverage with his pure speed. Agosto has soft hands and flashes the ability to make tough catches on the run.
Highlights
Damarion Timberlake
Damarion Timberlake
The Evanston product is poised for a big senior year after his impressive junior season. Timberlake showcases a variety of traits that college coaches look for in running backs. While he is on the smaller side, he runs much bigger than his frame. Timberlake is extremely difficult to tackle in the open field, as his vision, elusiveness, and speed make him difficult to bring down. Speaking of vision, Timberlake has the instinctual ability to create holes for himself by feeling out over-pursuing defenders and using patience until a lane opens up. Once the lane does open, Timberlake’s speed also him to separate from defenders. And if there isn’t a lane, Timberlake is powerful enough to lower his shoulder and finish downhill.
Jason Fowler
Jason Fowler
The 6’5, 235 lb Niles West product is one of the more underrated tight ends in the state. Fowler has the frame that will allow him to grow into an elite tight end. In his junior year, his film proved that he has the talent as well. Fowler runs extremely well and showcases a willingness to block. He has soft hands and crisp route running that allows him to make catches over smaller defensive backs. Additionally, Fowler runs well enough to beat linebackers in one-on-one situations. Fowler is a physical player, as shown in his blocking highlights and in a few clips at defensive end. With the rare combination of size, speed, and physicality, Fowler’s stock is on the rise.
