Carmel)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burrell is one of the most gifted receivers the state has seen in several years.&nbsp; This past season for the Caravan he had 67 catches for 1,139 yards and 16 touchdowns.&nbsp; Also consider the fact that he was playing with three other big time pass catching options when looking at those numbers.&nbsp; What makes him special is his combination of speed, strength, body control, hands, and the ability to take the top off of the defense.&nbsp; His body control and tracking in the air are truly special for a prospect being able to make plays on go routes on a consistent basis!&nbsp; More than just a deep threat as he is adept at running various routes along with taking short routes and without breaking stride ripping off a long run.&nbsp; Also a impact return threat who we have seen take it to the house with ease and will bring this value at the next level!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335411' first='Ronnie' last='Gomiller'] (East St. Louis)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gomiller emerged as the go to option for the Flyers this season.&nbsp; He is a big time punt returner with his ability to make guys miss in the open field as we saw him take a pair to the house against Belleville East.&nbsp; As good of a receiver as he is he might even be better as a returner.&nbsp; Slippery with the ball in his hands as he is good using shifty moves moving the chains.&nbsp; Snatches the ball out of the air over the middle.&nbsp; Silky smooth as a route runner that gets separation off the line with his quickness.&nbsp; Willing blocker downfield for the Flyers trio of backs.&nbsp; &nbsp;At the next level we see him as an elite slot guy that will be a game changer at the P4 level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1335408' first='Laron' last='Baker Jr.'] (East St. Louis)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baker is a 6'0” wide out that has big time speed.&nbsp; He is more of the vertical threat for the Flyers that likes to get downfield with his ability to stretch.&nbsp; As a junior he flashed, but we would like to see more consistent production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598846' first='Bennett' last='Konkey'] (Geneva)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Konkey is a 6'1” wide receiver that recorded 739 yards through the air this past season (348 yards of which were after the catch) on 41 grabs along with 9 touchdowns in 9 games.&nbsp; The consistent production game in and game out were what stood out the most to us.&nbsp; Very reliable pass catcher.&nbsp; Steady hands and finds the weak spot in the defense.&nbsp; Can go over the middle along with getting vertical on deep posts with his long strides.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1275281' first='Duran' last='Sims'] (Mt. Carmel)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sims was option #4 for the Caravan, but no doubt he is primed to be a FBS pass catcher at the next level.&nbsp; Quickness and speed play well out of the slot on bubble screens, passes over the middle, and has the ability to not lose his speed while catching it in traffic.&nbsp; Smooth route runner that makes guys miss in the open field for YAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1196115' first='Lucas' last='Strang'] (Brother Rice)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Brother Rice junior has solid size at 6'1” as he reeled in 20 catches for 369 yards and 7 touchdowns.&nbsp; Strang is a perimeter threat that has a big catch radius getting downfield for grabs where he tracks it well and has good body control.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
