One of the big winners from Illinois’ outdoor track & field season, especially in-terms of football/track standouts, York High School’s speedy QB Bruno Massel Bruno Massel 5'11" | 190 lbs | QB York | 2025 State IL IV had a good showing at the IHSA 3A Boys State Track and Field Championships, earning All-State honors in the 4x100m relay, and PRing in the 100M with a 10.87 time. He also ran a 10.98 100M at sectionals, and flew to a 6.59 55M dash during the indoor season. Massel IV showed that speed during the summer camp circuit as well, posting a 4.43 40 at the North Central College Mega Camp and posting the 5th fastest 40 of 249 competitors at the Northwestern Wildcats Prospect Camp.

Mostly played JV in 2023 as a junior with the Dukes, but Massel IV showed he was a true dual-threat QB who can hurt defenses with his arm and his legs. He displayed the ability to stretch the field, extend plays outside of the pocket with his legs, throw the ball off-platform, and toss the pigskin with accuracy to all three levels of the field. No offers yet, but speed screams collegiate upside and potential, and getting in there first is always an important factor in a prospect’s recruitment. Going to be a make-or-break season for Massel IV, but you can’t keep that speed/athleticism off the field as a senior, even if that means moving positions. PRzIL will be eagerly watching his senior season week to week.
