Rice Jr
5'11" | 190 lbs | RB
Quincy | 2025
State
IL
(Quincy – 5’11” 190)
Really liked the tape of this 5’11” back from the Quad Cities. Solid size and strength with athleticism and fluidity. Patient finding the hole and explodes through it. Quick cuts to avoid defenders in the box. Homerun hitter with juice taking it to the house. Quality pass catcher out of the backfield with soft hands and gets YAC. Quick cuts. One handed catch on sideline for TD. Also contributes as a blocker downfield when he doesn’t have the ball.

5'10" | 190 lbs | RB
Wethersfield | 2025
State
IL
(Wethersfield – 5’10” 190)
Strong and compact back that plays with physicality and is low to the ground. Quick feet. Strong lower half allows him to power through opposing backs. Good in between the tackles. Cuts it up field and follows blocks well.
Robert Boyd-Meents Robert Boyd-Meents 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Paxton Buckley Loda | 2025 State IL (Paxston Buckley Loda – 5’11” 190)
This back has good vision inside the tackle box breaking tackles, following blocks, and finding holes. Smooth runner that is more of a glider that also runs with power. Like how he finishes runs strong laying the hammer and going forward. Decent pass catcher out of the slot and backfield.
Seandon Buffington Seandon Buffington 5'11" | 168 lbs | RB Morton | 2025 State IL (Morton – 5’11” 168)
Buffington has some juice in the backfield! The central Illinois back is slippery through the hole and has good speed. Quick cuts and is patient letting his blocks develop before exploding through the line of scrimmage. Ripped off some impressive long runs.
Brody Bademacher (Seneca – 5’9” 158)
Rademacher is a solid small college back. Hits hole hard and accelerates through it. Solid back that also contributes on special teams.
Isaiah Brown Isaiah Brown 6'1" | 160 lbs | WR Batavia | 2025 State IL (Streator – 5’10” 160)
Brown’s take opens strong as he jumps over a guy, hits another, and then runs for a touchdown. Decent pass catcher that can line up on the perimeter at times. Makes guys miss and then accelerates. Good vision through the hole and overall is a fluid runner.
Ivan Hun Ivan Hun 5'10" | 208 lbs | RB Quincy Notre Dame | 2025 IL (Quincy Notre Dame – 5’10” 208)
Hun is coming off a big year racking up 700+ all purpose yards on 6.0 per carry. Strong and physical back that lays the hammer down! Moves the pile at the end of runs keeping his legs churning.
