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. Here is 2025 Film Room: South Suburbs Athletes!
Erimus Wright Erimus Wright 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Hillcrest | 2025 IL (Hillcrest – 6’0” 185)
Wright is a big and physical athlete that can play effectively on both sides of the ball. Explosive running back that has juice hitting home runs going downhill. Kid has juice! Also does it on the other side of the ball lining up everywhere from safety to outside linebacker flying all over making tackles and interceptions.
Jason Carey Jason Carey 5'6" | 150 lbs | ATH Rich Township | 2025 IL (Rich Township – 5’6” 150)
Carey had 1,150 all-purpose yards and 16 touchdowns on the season. The dynamic 5’6″ athlete is an offensive weapon. Quickness and lightning speed with the ball. Natural pass catcher out of the backfield and is sneaky hiding behind blockers as a scat back. Lines up at wildcat QB and can even throw it a little.
Blake Richards Blake Richards 6'1" | 185 lbs | ATH Lincoln Way Central | 2025 IL (Lincoln Way Central – 6’1” 185)
Richards plays on both sides of the ball. The slot wide reciever brings physicality to the position. Catches over the middle and on short routes. Sure hands, high points, and boxes out with his frame. Defensively he plays linebacker where he is a solid tackler.
Chase Jansen Chase Jansen 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Breese Mater Dei | 2025 IL (Breese Mater Dei – 6’0” 180)
This is actually a southern Illinois prospect. Jansen has good size at 6’0″ playing both linebacker and wide out. On the offensive side he is a redzone threat and high points catches. Physical tackler as a linebacker that pursues the ball well.
