Michael O’Connell Michael O’Connell 6'7" | 270 lbs | OL Glenbard West | 2025 State IL (Glenbard West – 6’7” 270)
O’Connell is a massive offensive tackle at 6’7″ 270 pounds that can play on both sides of the line. Controls the defensive lineman with his hands whether in the run or pass game. Great length not letting them get in his body. Seals well. Good athlete with a basketball background which just goes to show you the athleticism at play here.
Sam Stec Sam Stec 6'2" | 260 lbs | OL Nazareth Academy | 2025 State IL (Nazareth – 6’2” 260)
Stec really impressed on tape. The 6’2″ 260 pound lineman played mostly left tackle. Due to his lack of ideal heigh for that position he might have to kick inside to guard where he would be a monster! Nasty in both the run and pass game. LPuts guys on the ground. Seals well and plays with grit. Quality athlete with quick footwork. Excelled against good competition.
Ryder McMurray

McMurray
6'3" | 275 lbs | OL
Hinsdale South | 2025
State
IL
(Hinsdale South – 6’3” 275)
McMurray is a right tackle that has a strong and stocky build at 6’3″. Very physical player that is ideal at right tackle or even guard because of how well he moves guys in the run game. Seals and is decent in pass pro.
Hunter Gale Hunter Gale 6'5" | 315 lbs | OL Rock Falls | 2025 State IL (Rock Falls – 6’5” 315)
Gale is a big and burly 6’5″ 315 left tackle. The big bodied offensive lineman moves guys in the run game and shows flashes in pass pro. Also plays defensive tackle some as well.

Fenton | 2025
State
IL
(Fenton – 6’2” 295)
This right guard had quite a few pancakes in the tape we saw. Solid size on the interior where he moves bodies and gets guys on the ground. Blocks well in pass protection in a telephone booth.
Austin Roush

6'3" | 250 lbs | OL
Naperville North | 2025
State
IL
(Naperville North – 6’3” 250)
Like what we see out of this center/left guard. Anchors at a high level in pass pro. Technichian on the interior and is a solid athlete overall. The size plays well on the inside.
Ryan Mascari

6'4" | 230 lbs | OL
Neuqua Valley | 2025
State
IL
(Neuqua Valley – 6’4” 230)
Like the athleticism at 6’4″ as a tackle. Solid frame combined with good technique and can get to the second level.
JC Hayes (Montini – 6’2” 251)
Left tackle that might have to slide into guard. Good build and strength. Seals well to open holes and is a mauler in the run game. Good technique.
John Costello
John
Costello
6'1" | 240 lbs | OL
Benet Academy | 2025
IL
(Benet – 6’1” 240)
Costello is a left guard that plays with good technique. Solid in pass pro. Blocks well on the move and is very mobile pulling in space.
Mohammed Hanif
Mohammed
Hanif
5'10" | 250 lbs | OL
South Elgin | 2025
IL
(South Elgin – 5’10” 250)
Hanif is a right guard that is only 5’10” which will limit him at the next level, but makes up for it with his strong and stocky build. Pass blocks well in a telephone booth with good technique and can also play some center.
Kaiden Morris Kaiden Morris 6'2" | 225 lbs | OL Rochelle Township | 2025 IL (Rochelle – 6’2” 225)
Morris is a 6’2″ guard that plays with a nastiness to his game. Blocks very well on the move. Good pulling and being the lead blocker opening holes at the second level.
Joseph Pettit
Joseph
Pettit
5'11" | 235 lbs | DL
Geneva | 2025
IL
(Geneva – 5’11” 235)
This Geneva guard plays on both sides of the line. On the offensive line he is a guard that brings quickness on the interior, moves well in space, and blocks on the move. Defensively he pursues the ball with good speed.
Dylan Bradford Dylan Bradford 6'2" | 280 lbs | OL Glenbard North | 2025 IL (Glenbard North – 6’2” 280)
Bradford is a 6’2″ prospect that plays right tackle and left guard. Projection is best at the guard spot where he is a decent puller and has flashes in pass pro in a telephone booth.
Ted Dost Ted Dost 6'4" | 340 lbs | OL Glenbard North | 2025 IL (Glenbard North – 6’4” 343)
Massive right tackle from Glenbrook North that seals ok on the edge and can turn defenders in the run game.
Will Anthony Will Anthony 6'4" | 240 lbs | OL Geneva | 2025 IL (Geneva – 6’4” 240)
Anthony is a 6’4″ left tackle that might be better suited on the right side of the line. Long and lean frame which he will need to add more bulk on but there is some projection there. Raw strength is definitely shown.
