Continue ReadingKendrick Lyons Kendrick Lyons 6’0″ | 170 lbs | QB Granite City | 2025 State IL was a bright spot for Granite City, which struggled in 2023. Lyons will experience an immediate team upgrade as he will be attending East St. Louis next year. Lyons’ ability will be on full display, surrounded by a ton of talent. He has a tight, quick release that allows him to get the ball fast. Lyons’ touch is what stands out to me, with the ability to put the ball on the money on his deep shots. Lyons will get a ton of exposure next year with his new squad.
Marcus Thaxton Marcus Thaxton 6’0″ | 175 lbs | QB Morgan Park | 2025 State IL is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in Illinois in the class of 2025. He threw for 30 touchdowns and ran in 5 more as a junior for Morgan Park. Thaxton’s outstanding arm talent was on full display last year; there are not too many throws he can’t make. His mobility has to be accounted for on every snap; otherwise, he can make you pay with his legs. Thaxton continues to improve, and his best football is still in front of him as he enters his senior season in 2024.
Highlights
Brandon Parades Brandon Parades 6’1″ | 170 lbs | QB Plainfield East | 2025 State IL is a true gunslinger-type quarterback. He has a knack for extending plays that can drive a defense crazy. He has above-average mobility for a quarterback, allowing him to break containment and hurt a defense with his legs. He is a big-play quarterback who can make off-balance throws with his arm strength. As Parades continues to fine-tune his mechanics, I expect him to excel at the quarterback position.
