Coal City’s Emmett Easton Emmett Easton 6'0" | 274 lbs | DL Coal City | 2027 State IL was another trench warrior who showed out at camp. Easton really caught my attention during 1v1s, when he displayed top-tier explosiveness and hand usage to fly past his opponents. It starts with Emmett’s rapid get-off, allowing him to fire out of his stance and in his opponent’s face in no time. He does a great job using his first step to set up blockers and has the football IQ and instincts to find different ways to win at the line of scrimmage. Easton had a great rep where he used his wide technique to get his opponent to set wide, before cutting across to beat him with an inside move, all while effectively using his hands to prevent the blocker from being able to slow him down. Good use of leverage, keeps his eyes on the ball, and a massive wingspan (6’10”). 4.53 shuttle drill and a 7.54 L-drill were some of his top testing numbers. Under the radar prospect who could turn some heads this summer with a strong camp cycle!

Representing small town Coal City, an outer Chicagoland town of almost 6K NW of Braidwood and SE of Morris, DL8 Emmett Easton Emmett Easton 6'0" | 274 lbs | DL Coal City | 2027 State IL already has some big things going for him. A freshman starter as a 14/15-year-old, Easton posted 35 tackles and 7 TFLs as a defensive tackle, Easton also has one of my favorite traits in OL/DL prospects and is a good wrestler who posted 23 pins in his 29 wins from the 2023-24 season. Easton also got pulled aside and had a couple 1v1 chats with some Boston College coaches after his performance at their camp in early June, and he also competed at the North Central College mega camp and Illinois 7on7 camp.

Easton starts his freshman highlights off with a bang, breaking off from an attempted double team and running down a LB who found the sideline to halt a big play 15 yards downfield, and it’s safe to say that he’s mobile, balanced, quick, controlled, and plays fast. Easton does a good job of getting underneath blocks and shows some burst out of his stance and from a dead stop, displays a good get-off, and sheds blocks with his active hands, quick feet, and lateral agility. Easton will rock QBs when he gets opportunities, closes in a flash, and can tackle in space. Another prospect whose ceiling will be a bit dependent on how big he can get, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Coal City product climb up the rankings in time.
