[player_tooltip player_id="20874" first="Maurice" last="Edwards"]: Warren Township HS- 6’0” 198 lb The 3-star recruit out of Gurnee, Illinois has had a great June. He has shown the ability to make people miss, and also to leave defenders behind with true 4.4 speed. More impressively has been the number of offers that colleges have been sending in. This June, he has managed to pick up over 10 Division 1 offers! After attending the Vanderbilt camp, and receiving an offer, Maurice decided on July 4th to commit to playing for them! Started June as a 3-star recruit, and finished it with a commitment to play in the SEC. [player_tooltip player_id="118837" first="Wade" last="Abrams"]: Cary-Grove HS-  6’0” 200 lb [player_tooltip player_id="118837" first="Wade" last="Abrams"] is a true downhill/ bruiser type running back who has recently picked up two college offers to end June. He has shown up to camps looking in peak physical shape and has exhibited great footwork and change of direction. Coming from a double-wing offense at Cary-Grove, there were doubts about his ability to be a pass-catcher. This June, he has shown that he can run the route tree and serve as a match-up problem for linebackers. Charles "Chance" Joseph: Crete-Monee HS- 5’11” 176 lb The shifty running back out of Crete-Monee has had a successful Summer thus far. He has shown great quickness and wiggle from operating both out of the backfield and from the slot. Competing at the Northwestern day camp, [player_tooltip player_id="155098" first="Charles" last="Joseph"] put together a solid showing to put on notice that he’ll be looking to build on the season he had in the spring. [player_tooltip player_id="20871" first="Josh" last="Dornink"]: Batavia HS- 5’10 185 lb Josh is a player that has proven he’s a top RB in the state of Illinois. At camps this June, he has shown the ability to make people miss, accelerate out of cuts, and run routes as if he’s a receiver. The RB out of Batavia has been an under the radar player come to life. Performing at a high level at NIU, University of Iowa, NDSU, etc. has given Joshua the attention he’s deserved. [player_tooltip player_id="155119" first="Trenton" last="Taylor"]: Pecatonica Highschool- 6’2” 190 lb [player_tooltip player_id="155119" first="Trenton" last="Taylor"] is a running back that stands at a strong 6’2” 190 pounds. He has shown this Summer that he has been working out as hard as he runs. At the U-Indy camp, he was put on notice for his burst, and ability to finish drills. Lining up at RB, WR, and OLB for Pecatonica, Trenton has put together 2 offers and looks to add more this July.
