While Ball may seem undersized at first look, he has the speed and power to make up for it. Ball can absolutely fly, possessing the break away speed that makes Ball a threat to score a touchdown every time he touches the ball. He did that often in his Junior season campaign, posting 19 total touchdowns and over 1,700 total yards. Even when Ball is bottled up in the backfield, he showcases a variety of moves to escape and gain positive yardage. Whether its making multiple cuts or lowering his should, Ball always seems to fall forward.

Devan is the younger brother of Packers' first round pick Lukas Van Ness. When you turn on Devan's tape, it also look familiar to his older brother's game. Like Lukas, Devan is a dominant edge rusher who measures in 6'2, 205 lbs. Van Ness uses his size, strength, and athleticism to defeat blockers in both the run and pass game. He plays with extreme physicality and shows the quick twitch ability to redirect and make plays in the back field. . Whenever Van Ness is near the quarterback, the play often ends in a ground breaking hit. As Van Ness puts on weight heading into his senior year, he will be one of the top players in the MSL West.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Filip Rolek","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Palatine","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Another Palatine prospect checks in at number 3 on our rankings. Rolek, the 6'3, 230 lbs edge rusher dominated as pass rusher in his junior frame. Rolek showcases polished technique and fluid athleticism to create havoc in the backfield. He has the power to bull rush offensive linemen, but also utilizes bend and speed to beat offensive tackles on the edge. In the run game, Rolek gets downhill quickly and finishes with a powerful tackle on the ball carrier. Whether his hand is in the dirt or he is in a two point stance, Rolek plays with a high motor that allows him to make splash plays. The high energy class Rolek should be a dominating force heading into his senior season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Jonathan Mayfield","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Hoffman Estates","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Mayfield measures in at 6'4, 270 lbs. The 2024 defensive lineman from Hoffman Estates certainly has the frame that makes you think he'll be a high level prospect. Turn on the tape, and its confirmed. Mayfield moves extremely well for his size, showcasing his ability to fire off the ball, work his feet on stunts, and chase down ball carries. Mayfield can play a lot of different spots on the defensive line. He is extremely physical in the run game and when hitting the quarterback. Mayfield redirects extremely well, and could place himself as one of the top defensive linemen in state after his senior year campaign.

The 5'10, 190 lbs Hoffman Estates product showcases elusiveness, power, and speed with the ball in his hands. Williams is extremely tough to bring down, as he can run you over, juke you out, or beat you to the corner. He catches the ball well and has a nasty spin move, stiff arm, and lateral juke move that make Williams a threat every time he touches the ball. This skillset allowed Williams to have a breakout junior season for the Hawks. As his senior year approaches, Williams is a top back in a conference loaded with high level RB's.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6491fc7490d97"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Other Players to look out for:</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='271278' first='Stephon' last='Sellers'] Jr - WR - Hoffman Estates</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dillon Fitzpatrick - RB - Barrington</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harley Stary - LB - Conant</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anthony DiGioia - RB - Schaumburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tommy Elter - QB - Palatine</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
