Ian Morris Ian Morris 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB Princeton | 2025 State IL (Princeton – 5’11” 195)
Thick bodied linebacker that is in all out attack mode. Pursues the ball with straight line speed wrapping up and tackling through man. Everything was all out effort. Looked like Bobby Boucher out there running down guys on a consistent basis. Great football instincts!
Trevon Hall Trevon Hall 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Centennial | 2025 State IL (Centennial – 6’3” 220)
Hall has good size and athleticism. Fluid outside linebacker that sheds well, runs sideline to sideline and can even cover a little in the slot. Projectability here.
Isaiss Duarte Isaiss Duarte 5'10" | 170 lbs | RB Rock Island | 2025 IL (Rock Island – 5’10” 170)
Duarte is an undersized outside linebacker. Good speed slicking into the backfield to make tackles. Excellent tackler in the box taking out the legs and wrapping up runners.
Payton Sedam Payton Sedam 5'10" | 165 lbs | RB Mercer County | 2025 IL (Mercer County – 5’10” 165)
Sedam is a versatile prospect that plays H-Back and linebacker. As a linebacker he slices through the line, is a physical tackler in the box, and gets through traffic well by using his hands.
Jackson Hakes Jackson Hakes 6'2" | 215 lbs | LB Fieldcrest | 2025 IL (Fieldcrest – 6’2” 215)
This linebacker sheds blockers very well to make tackles in the box. Takes good angles and wraps up well. Can also play some full back as well.
Andy Medina (La Salle Peru – 6’1” 225)
Good frame and strength on this 6’1″ linebacker. Can play up close to the line or at a more traditional linebacker spot. Uses hands well to get off blocks shedding them to get tackles.
Drew Rader (Normal U-High – 6’0” 190)
This central Illinois linebacker knifes through the line of scrimmage to make plays in the run. Really stuffs the run and plays with a good motor.
Kenny Ward Kenny Ward 5'10" | 170 lbs | LB Galesburg | 2025 IL (Galesburg – 5’11” 170)
Athletic undersized linebacker that pursues well. Good closing speed in space and tackles well in the box. Pursues well.
