Continue ReadingOne of the most intriguing recruits this year was Kamren Schumacher Kamren Schumacher 6’2″ | 185 lbs | QB El Paso-Gridley | 2024 IL , a 6’3 athletic quarterback who was able to make plays through the air and on the ground. I was interested to see which team would secure his recruitment and what position. McKendree was able to seal the deal with Schumacher, projecting him as a tight end for the next season. Adding an athlete like Schumacher to the tight end room was a slam dunk for the Bearcats.

Nick Pedersen, a 6’6 offensive lineman, exhibits impressive flexibility for his size. While primarily playing at the center position, Pedersen’s size and athleticism make him capable of transitioning to tackle. His skill set suggests a high ceiling in the offensive line position. I anticipate continued development as he refines his overall fundamentals; Pedersen is a player whose best football is still ahead of him.
Darren Pennell Darren Pennell 6’1″ | 175 lbs | WR Collinsville | 2024 IL was electric during his senior year at Collinsville, where he served as a dual-threat quarterback on offense and a standout safety on defense. His dynamic abilities made him a constant challenge for opposing defenses, while defensively, he proved to be a standout defensive back. Pennell recorded impressive stats, including 51 tackles, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, and a touchdown. The Bearcats have secured his commitment to play safety for them next fall, and his exceptional athleticism should be a great fit for the Bearcats.
