Christopher Bennett is electric on the football field; he can score anytime he touches the ball. Bennett has great change of direction, resulting in defenders never being able to get a clean hit on him. He also has good top-end speed, which allows him to pull away from the defense. Not only is he a natural slot receiver, but he is also one of the best punt returners in the state. This highly talented athlete will have a busy spring and summer as his recruiting continues to gain momentum.
Highlights
Brian Searcy Jr Brian Searcy Jr 5’6″ | WR Montini | 2025 IL . embodies the qualities of a skilled slot receiver. His ability to create separation from defensive backs is exceptional, thanks to his quickness and agility, which make him elusive in open space. A natural pass catcher, he possesses the knack for snatching the ball out of the air effortlessly. Searcy made a notable impact during his junior season and is poised for a breakout senior year in 2024.
Brock Pettaway Brock Pettaway 5’10” | 170 lbs | WR Naperville North | 2025 State IL is great at running his routes from the inside receiver position. He excels at breaking off defensive backs at the top of his routes to create space. Pettaway’s speed and route-running ability make him very difficult to cover. He is one of the more polished slot receivers I have evaluated this year in the class of 2025. Pettaway is a no-brainer for colleges looking for a playmaker to open up their offense.
