I’m a big fan of the players, prospects, and people the Fenwick Friars football program produces year to year, and 6′, 190 lb. DB Elijah Romeus Elijah Romeus 6'0" | 190 lbs | DB Fenwick | 2024 State IL has been on my radar for a while and is no exception to my fandom. A 2021 state champ with Fenwick who holds a 4.35 GPA, Romeus holds offers from Illinois State (PWO), St. Thomas, Central Missouri, and Butler, and is a player with the potential to significantly raise their stock during his senior season in 2023. He’s also caught our scouts attention during the summer camp szn, specifically PRzWI lead scout and PRzIL contributor Mark Johnson, who noted Romeus‘ three level versatility, fluid hips, and reliability as a tackler. I’m definitely in agreement with Mark, and appreciate his hard-hitting playstyle, closing speed in both run support and when breaking up passes, ability to tackle in space, and propensity to stay sticky to receivers in man coverage. He does a good job of getting his head around and staying hip-to-hip with WRs running downfield, and also shows off the athleticism to create big plays as a WR and kick returner, where his burst and quickness make him a problem after the catch. Romeus is a three-phase contributor and a dynamic playmaker who can do a ton that’s asked of him on the gridiron. I also think it’s super rad he rocks #44 as a safety, and he laid some of the bigger hits I saw while grinding tape for the 2024 update.
