Notable Transfers For 2023

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It looks like high school football is almost following the college model of having a transfer portal as more and more kids seem to be transferring high schools then I can remember ever happening before. Playing opportunity, recruiting and being able to compete for championships seem to be playing a role along with education. Here is a look at some of the more notable transfers that will impact teams and players in 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112513' first='Dejerrian' last='Miller'] | 6'3" 190 | WR | 2025 |- From East St. Louis (IL) to Cardinal Ritter </strong><br>Miller was one of the top receiving prospects for the Illinois Class 6 state champion Flyers in 2022 having 445 yards and 4 touchdowns receiving while averaging over 17 yards per catch. Colleges took notice and this spring he has received multiple D1 offers. He will provide a great target for the Lions two D1 quarterbacks to throw to as they attempt to repeat as state champs themselves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185385' first='Jacorey' last='Love'] | 5'11" 180 | RB | 2024 | - From Kansas City Center to Liberty North</strong><br>The speedy playmaker will be another explosive weapon for the Eagles to use in both their run and passing game in 2023. Love is equally talented as both a running back or as a slot receiver. Jacorey ran for over 1,400 yards and 25 touchdowns, and had another 232 yards and 4 more scores catching the ball, as a junior at Center. He is also a talented returner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='201724' first='Dierre' last='Hill'] | 5'10" 170 | RB/S | 2025 | - From Vashon to Belleville (IL) Althoff</strong><br>The very talented D1 prospect makes the move across the river in St. Louis to play for private Catholic school Althoff for 2023. Hill, who is also a very talented basketball player, had over 940 total yards rushing and receiving, and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore for the Wolverines. He also did a nice job at safety with 21 tackles and a pick as one of their top defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='179189' first='Keylan' last='LaGrant'] | 6'2" 190 | OLB | 2025 | -From Lutheran St. Charles to East St. Louis (IL) </strong><br>LaGrant is another top talent loss for Missouri and gain for Illinois as he heads to the state champion Flyers and brings his exceptional pass rushing skills to an already stacked defense. Keylan is one of the quickest players off the edge in the state of Missouri the past two years. He's an exceptional athlete and has already landed multiple D1 offers. Him playing OLB instead of DE will increase his recruiting visibility as that will be his likely position in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OTHER TRANSFERS TO TAKE NOTE OF FOR 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><em><strong>Dominique Dixon LB 2024 -East St. Louis (IL) to Cardinal Ritter </strong></em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='188603' first='Mekhi' last='Mixon'] S 2024 - Cardinal Ritter to East St. Louis (IL) </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='275125' first='Mike' last='Lane'] WR/CB 2024 - Park Hill South to Lee's Summit North</strong></em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='691308' first='De'Shaun' last='Stevenson'] WR 2026 - St. Mary's to Cardinal Ritter </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='326916' first='Chase' last='Wisecarver'] OL 2025 - Osage to Helias </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='326628' first='Donivan' last='Taylor'] CB/RB 2025 - Hickman to Rock Bridge </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='326731' first='Devin' last='Holt'] WR 2025 - Hickman to Rock Bridge </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Tavon Gregory LB 2026 -Hazelwood East to De Smet </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Quintin Kirby ATH 2025 - Hazelwood East to East St. Louis (IL) </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1118576' first='Dayne' last='Schellenger'] OL 2025 - Highland (IL) to De Smet </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1118579' first='Zayne' last='Schellenger'] TE 2025 - Highland (IL) to De Smet </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1124865' first='Hudson' last='Brewer'] OL 2025 - Fox to De Smet </em></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><em>Sam Robinson OL 2025 - Ft.
