Under-the-Radar Senior OL/DL Prospects in Illinois

Every recruiting cycle, a handful of seniors fly below the radar despite having the size, production, and raw traits that translate to the next level. This year, several Illinois linemen fit that exact mold. They're strong, experienced, and bring the type of versatility college coaches value. Here are five senior trench players who deserve a closer look.   [player_tooltip player_id='801982' first='Jack' last='Sciortino'] – 6'2, 285 – OL/DL – Benet Academy Sciortino is one of the most overlooked interior linemen in the state. He plays with a strong base, finishes his blocks, and brings real power at the point of attack. On defense, he anchors well versus the run and uses his leverage to win inside. A dependable, multi-year varsity starter with the physicality to contribute early at the next level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1120472' first='Luke' last='Brossard'] – 6'0, 285 – OL – Hinsdale South Brossard only appeared in five games this season due to injury, but when he was on the field, he was productive and impactful. He fires off the ball with a quick first step, plays low, and generates consistent movement in the run game. His tape still shows a player with real upside and toughness.   [player_tooltip player_id='1096669' first='Pharell' last='Hart'] – 6'0, 295 – OL/DL – Morgan Park Hart's strength is obvious the moment he comes out of his stance. He's thick-built, powerful, and has the rare ability to legitimately play on either side of the ball. Offensively, he locks defenders up and controls the line. Defensively, he's hard to move and eats space inside. A true two-way trench asset.   [player_tooltip player_id='969389' first='Reilly' last='Kliros'] – 6'3, 300 – OL – Lincoln-Way West Kliros brings classic offensive-line size with a sturdy 300-pound frame. He's a steady run blocker who plays with balance and finishes consistently. His frame and movement patterns project cleanly to guard or center at the college level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1120492' first='Sunny' last='Tsui'] – 6'2, 260 – DL – Stevenson Tsui is a disruptive interior defender who plays primarily at defensive tackle. He stays low, wins with leverage, and shows quick hands to shed blocks. He's active, tough, and consistently involved in plays inside.
