2025 Film Room: Chicago Athletes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next up in our positional evaluations of the 2025 class we dive into the Athletes!&nbsp; These are prospects that might not project to one specific position, but their physical tools jump off the charts and could play a number of different positions.&nbsp; Here is <strong>2025 Film Room: Chicago Athletes!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='213605' first='Jovan' last='Clark'] (Morgan Park – 6'0” 200)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark is the definition of a freak show athlete!&nbsp; Strong and super athletic.&nbsp; He can play safety, linebacker, or even some running back.&nbsp; Probably projects best as a linebacker at the next level. Reacts so well to the ball with his burst getting to the ball carrier.&nbsp; Closing speed is incredible and he lays the hammer with his hitting once he gets there. Takes tremendous angles to make the tackle and wraps up well.&nbsp; Really pursues the ball slicing through the line of scrimmage for tackles for loss beating blockers to their spots.&nbsp; Also shows well in coverage especially as a linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='383436' first='Nashaun' last='Brown'] (Johnson College Prep – 5'9” 175)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is the true definition of an athlete as he lines up at middle linebacker, wide receiver, and wildcat QB.&nbsp; On the defensive side the strong and stocky 5'9" defender is a very physical tackler.&nbsp; Also is an absolute playmaker in coverage getting picks.&nbsp; On the offensive side he can use his athleticism and strength to make plays down the field and is a very good wildcat QB at the goal line!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='331466' first='Jack' last='Wanzung'] (St. Ignatius – 6'0” 190)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wanzung is the quarter back in St. Ignatius' triple option attack.&nbsp; He is considerably better as a runner than passer.&nbsp; Love the long speed he has and athleticism.&nbsp; Solid passer, but probably projects to another position at the next level.&nbsp; The athleticism is very impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='537272' first='Will' last='Carlson'] (Loyola – 6'0” 185)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carlson projects as a strong bodied wide receiver with sure hands. Like the size and frame. Body control on catches downfield.&nbsp; Crisp route runner and adjusts to the ball well.&nbsp; Gets off the line and brings some physicality in the blocking game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833300' first='Quinn' last='Duhon'] (Whitney Young – 5'8” 155)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Duhon is an undersized safety that is an absolute playmaker.&nbsp; He cuts on the ball so well making breaks for picks and PBU's.&nbsp; Excellent instincts over the middle.&nbsp; Very quick reaction time.&nbsp; Size is really only thing that holds him back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='581102' first='James' last='Hill'] (Phillips – 5'7” 150)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hill is a 5'7" athlete that plays wide out and defensive back.&nbsp; Good speed and tackles low.&nbsp; Size will be the issue.&nbsp; Projects best as a nickel.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833306' first='Emmett' last='Romeus'] (Fenwick – 5'11” 175)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Romeus is a 5'11" wide out with a solid build.&nbsp; Good footwork and sure hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
