Yorkville edge [player_tooltip player_id='1292097' first='Bryce' last='Griffin'] jumped off the field this year with his senior film.&nbsp; Long and lanky pass rusher that will be a top 50 player in our rankings update.<br><br><strong>Miami (OH)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Interesting how Miami (OH) came into Illinois to land two of the top players at the same position.&nbsp; Got commitments from a pair of tight ends in Lincoln Way East's [player_tooltip player_id='830853' first='Trey' last='Zvonar'] and Loyola's [player_tooltip player_id='1292068' first='Brendan' last='Loftus'] who met in the 8A semis a couple weeks ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Northern Illinois</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six in-state commitments for NIU.&nbsp; Collinsville defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='325422' first='Devin' last='Habermehl'] and Sacred Heart Griffin's [player_tooltip player_id='1292125' first='Chuck' last='Lanier'] are both players up front who could impact for NIU.&nbsp; Wide out Wheaton Warrenville South wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1564084' first='Amari' last='Williams'] has some intriguing tools as does Roxana defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='831099' first='Andruw' last='Ellis'].&nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id='1564088' first='JJ' last='Schlenhardt'] is one of the better kickers out of Maine South.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Western Michigan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A duo of nice commitments for Western Michigan.  Opening holes up front will be Lake Zurich offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1292086' first='Jacob' last='Wilk'].  Bolingbrook defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='830841' first='Tavarez' last='Edwards'] is a fluid prospect with upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
