The Hillcrest Hawks are well represented in the 2025 class of Illinois prospects and 6’1, 160 lb. DB Colton Pennington Colton Pennington Colton Pennington 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB Hillcrest | 2025 IL  is a must-know name from the watchlist. Long DBs are becoming more and more popular on the recruiting trail and Pennington definitely qualifies, and I like how the safety runs the alley and brings the boom to the contact point, is patient when patrolling the MOF in coverage, and can moonlight as a WR. He’s an enforcer from the safety position and really excels in run support.
