His skills as a dominant player for St. Charles North, particularly as a mismatch nightmare for opposing defenses, make him a valuable addition to the team. Furtney's ability as both a physical blocker and a player who can stretch the field in the passing game adds versatility to Illinois' offense. Great job by Illinois to keep Furtney in state.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hiddenu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 visibleu0022u003eu003cbutton class=u0022flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs hover:text-gray-950 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400 md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visibleu0022u003eu003c/buttonu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flexu0022u003eu003c/divu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xsu0022u003eu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022absoluteu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex w-full gap-2 items-center justify-centeru0022u003eu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]u0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-colu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex w-full items-centeru0022u003eu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Gus Dammann","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Hersey High School ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cdiv class=u0022flex-1 overflow-hiddenu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022react-scroll-to-bottomu002du002dcss-csgii-79elbk h-fullu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022react-scroll-to-bottomu002du002dcss-csgii-1n7m0yuu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex flex-col pb-9 text-smu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022w-full text-token-text-primaryu0022 data-testid=u0022conversation-turn-7u0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-autou0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group final-completionu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022relative flex w-full flex-col lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)] agent-turnu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3u0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-fullu0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-autou0022 data-message-author-role=u0022assistantu0022 data-message-id=u0022d26aa021-49ac-426a-a789-c878ada8de88u0022u003ernu003cdiv class=u0022markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert lightu0022u003ernrnThis week Gus Dammann committed to the University of Dayton.
