Another dual-sport, two-way standout on this list of prospects to know on the PRzIL 2025 WL, Lincoln-Way Central LB/WR Blake Richards Blake Richards 6'1" | 185 lbs | ATH Lincoln Way Central | 2025 IL comes in at 6’1, 185 lbs. and is also a solid baseball player for the Cangelosi Sparks. The sophomore tape shows off a long, athletic LB & WR who is comfortable and effective in space on both sides of the ball. With the ball in hand, he’s got an array of moves and jukes to make would-be tacklers miss, and I really like how he tackles in space and 1-on-1 settings from his LB spot. He can turn routine slants and RPO dumps into long TD receptions, as well as play deep balls while in the air and stay upright through contact to elongate gains, and he’s both strong enough to make plays between the tackles and athletic enough to tackle in space. Richards is confident on both sides of the ball and could play either spot on varsity, although I think he’ll start off at wideout. There’s a ton of balance in his game offensively.
