Pavle Jovanovic
Pavle Jovanovic
Pavle Jovanovic has been having a solid senior season so far. He is a tall athletic offensive lineman that can play guard or tackle at the next level. College coaches should be intrigued by his versatility and length. Currently, he is listed at 245 but he has the frame to keeping growing to play along the offensive line in college. He has been gaining interest in recruiting throughout the summer.

At 6’5, Zlatanov has the size every coach in the country wants at the defensive end spot. He is an athletic edge rusher that plays through the whistle. Zlatanov is another guy that college coaches should be intrigued with because his size projects him at either OL or DL at the next level. After camp season wrapped up he has picked up a hand full of offers already.
Omolo has picked up some offers from D2/NAIA schools already but I think he still is under recruited. I love the intensity he plays with looking to finish all his blocks. He plays with the nasty streak you can’t coach. He is also very athletic displaying his quick feet when he pass protects or pulls. Omolo should keep gaining interest from schools throughout his senior year.

Trautmann is starting to emerge as one the top edge rushers in the state of Illinois this year. He had a big summer gaining offers from D1 & D2 programs after dominating camps. He has great bend with the ability to carve a corner on opposing tackles. He has an explosive first step that can make even getting hands on him extremely difficult.
Jalen Cole Jalen Cole 6’5″ | 310 lbs | OL Homewood Flossmoor | 2024 IL is a mountain of a man at 6’5 320 lbs he has the size most offensive line coaches want. Don’t let the size fool you, Cole can move for a big man. He takes good steps as well at the ability to climb to the next level. At his size he often is able to engulf most defenders that he lined up against. His stock is trending upwards amongst college coaches as well.
