<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598846' first='Bennett' last='Konkey'] – WR/DB – Class of 2027 – Geneva</strong><br>Konkey is one of the most reliable all-around players in the 2027 class. At 6'1”, 175 pounds, he shows great feel for the game—both as a route runner and a cover man. He plays with confidence, toughness, and consistent effort, making him a key piece for Geneva's future on offense and defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='474760' first='Spencer' last='Martin'] – WR/DB – Class of 2026 – Nazareth Academy</strong><br>Martin is a quick-twitch athlete who creates separation as a slot receiver and holds his own in man coverage. At 6'0”, 145 pounds, he's still developing physically, but his feel for the game, football IQ, and competitiveness give him a strong two-way foundation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1151334' first='Jaylen' last='McMiller'] – WR/CB – Class of 2027 – Glenbard West</strong><br>McMiller is a smooth mover with playmaking ability on both sides of the ball. At 5'9”, 153 pounds, he brings quick feet, vision, and agility. He has the tools to excel as a receiver or corner and adds value in the return game as well. A name to remember from a strong program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='801703' first='Liam' last='Martin'] – WR/S – Class of 2026 – Bradley-Bourbonnais</strong><br>At 6'3”, 190 pounds, Martin has the frame and range to be a threat in the passing game and a reliable last line of defense. He's physical at the catch point and has the length to disrupt routes. Martin could project to multiple positions at the next level and has a high ceiling as a two-way athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
