IL 2024s Bound For a Big Senior Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we're looking at 2024 prospects that are bound for big senior campaigns. I think each one of these guys has promise based on what they put on tape in 2022. Look for their production to take a big leap forward this coming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='271882' first='Dominick' last='DeBlasio'], 5'11" 165, Kaneland</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A polished route runner that can challenge nosey deep half safeties. DeBlasio is extremely effective on the scramble drill and can find the holes in zone coverage &amp; exploit them for chunk plays. He's quick after the catch can sidestep defenders to generate missed tackles, and can line up just about anywhere to provide a mismatch on much slower linebackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14720612/6371b23690ef4e0ae85b5c92' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a602"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>OL: Christos Alexandros, 6'2" 295, Lockport</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical interior prospect that pulls with violent intentions. On tape, Alexandros shows great turnover on his knee drive, a ton of pop as a striker, and a brute lower half. He can easily unlock his hips and sit back to anchor down against a bull rush and takes favorable angles to the block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15050923/63214a505b3e861498b63974' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a654"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>LB: Lincoln Adams, 6' 195, Lake Zurich</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adams is sudden off the snap, gives blocking schemes fits on twists, and will hold his ground when engaged at the point of attack. He has great closing speed, can swiftly disengage to get off 2nd-level blocks, and will use his quickness to split opposing double teams. He's instinctive in zone coverage and shows strong ball skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15694079/6353cb6a478eac0e70f4ae9f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a672"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>OL: Andy Mlyniec, 6'5" 275, Lakes</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Exceptional size for a guard prospect with long arms to go with it. On film, Andy's game has some tenacity to it, and you'll see him looking to bury defenders through the ref's whistle. He can pass set to wide nine rushers when lined up at tackle and plays with adequate knee &amp; ankle bend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16609946/6362813eff01a9042c7138c0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a68e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='161328' first='Julian' last='Turner'] 5'7" 165, Maine South</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Turner recently transferred in from Montini and Maine South fans should be very excited, as this kid has some explosiveness to his game. Turner is dynamic after the catch has shown impressive top-end speed, to go along with elite wiggle. He's got a bag of releases to avoid jams, is slippery through tackle attempts and his body control is just ridiculous. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15793210/61854ce94205bd07fc8dff3a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a6a9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='522599' first='Tim' last='Wessels'] 6'3" 225, Harlem</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wessels has the size you want in an inside linebacker prospect and still has his best ball ahead of him. On film, he will scrape down the line on the backside of runs and has a well-oiled motor that's always ready to run. He can open his hips and run in zone, does a fine job reading the quarterback's intentions, and will mirror ball carriers with his shoulders square in order to not over-pursue. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14663261/631df73d19a5911318541249' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64106c406a6c3"} /-->
