<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brody Scheffler – Springfield High (2026)</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scheffler has been on fire to start the season, already tossing <strong>9 touchdowns and 705 passing yards</strong> in just two games. The junior is showing command of Springfield's offense and the ability to push the ball downfield consistently. He's quickly putting himself in the conversation as one of the most dangerous arms in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335265' first='Jake' last='Nawrot'] – Hersey (2027)</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At <strong>6'5” and 195 pounds</strong>, Nawrot's size and poise in the pocket make him a dangerous threat. He's completed an impressive <strong>75% of his passes</strong>, totaling <strong>666 yards and 4 touchdowns</strong>, and has also added a rushing touchdown. His efficiency and dual-threat ability stand out for a sophomore. With his tools and production, he's shaping up to be a name to know in IL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1570275' first='Callahan' last='Roper'] – Marion High School (2026)</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roper has been carving up defenses early with <strong>617 passing yards and 8 touchdowns</strong>. At <strong>6'0”, 190 pounds</strong>, he combines accuracy with toughness and has Marion's offense clicking. His confidence in attacking defenses is giving Marion a chance to put up big points every week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ryne Sheppard – Maroa-Forsyth (2026)</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sheppard has put up nearly identical numbers to Roper with <strong>604 yards and 8 touchdowns</strong>. The <strong>5'10”, 181-pound junior</strong> has been a steady force leading Maroa-Forsyth's attack, proving he can deliver both consistency and explosiveness. His rhythm and decision-making make him tough to slow down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Emett Stenger – Central A &amp; M (2027)</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just a sophomore, Stenger has already tallied <strong>525 passing yards and 5 touchdowns</strong>. At <strong>5'11” and 165 pounds</strong>, he's displaying poise beyond his years and setting himself up as a breakout underclassman to watch. His start shows he's more than ready to lead Central A &amp; M's offense against bigger competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
