<p><strong>CJ Ameachi - Johnsburg High School (Senior, 6'3", 210 lbs, DE)</strong><br>Ameachi has been a force off the edge, racking up 6 sacks already this season. Known for his quickness and explosive get-off, Ameachi can bend well around offensive tackles, allowing him to get to the quarterback with ease. His ability to get off the line quickly makes him a constant threat to disrupt plays in the backfield.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='330456' first='Ryan' last='Mascari'] - Neuqua Valley High School (Senior, 6'4", 240 lbs, DE)</strong><br>Mascari's size and length make him a nightmare for offensive linemen, and he's proven it with 5 sacks so far. As a long edge player, Mascari excels at pressuring the quarterback and consistently collapsing the pocket. He's a good athlete with a high motor, traits that make him a disruptive force on every down.</p>

<p><strong>Will Klimas - Fremd High School (Senior, 5'10", 195 lbs, LB)</strong><br>Despite being slightly undersized, Klimas flies around the field and has shown an ability to blitz effectively off the edge. With 4.5 sacks, his speed and relentless pursuit have caused problems for opposing offenses. His ability to get into the backfield quickly has made him one of the most dangerous blitzers in the state.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='258001' first='Jason' last='Dowell'] - Althoff Catholic High School (Senior, 6'3", 290 lbs, DT, Missouri Commit)</strong><br>Dowell is a dominant force in the trenches and one of the top prospects in Illinois. At 290 pounds, his size and strength make him nearly unblockable, and his 4.5 sacks show just how disruptive he's been. Through three weeks, Dowell has been a wrecking ball, collapsing the interior of offensive lines and wreaking havoc for opposing quarterbacks.</p>
