Oswego product Teddy Manikas Teddy Manikas 5'11" | 185 lbs | WR/ATH Oswego | 2026 State IL was a big part of a decorated Pop Warner middle school squad that won a natty in 2021 and went on to Oswego High School to put together a strong freshman season that resulted in him earning the #43 overall and WR14 spot in the loaded PRzIL 2026 Big Board. As a freshman wideout, Manikas was lightning in a bottle and brought a ton of speed to the table offensively and on special teams. Super dangerous in space, the 5’10, 165 lber. also showed standout concentration that helped him complete tough receptions through a ton of traffic, quickness, and physicality after the catch, and a willingness to help out as a blocker. More than anything, Manikas has speed, speed, and more speed, and his solid 100M track times as an 8th grader reflect the pace you see on film. He earned varsity reps as a kick returner last year and his offensive and special teams role is only going to grow as a sophomore and eventual upperclassman. The kid can fly! Don’t blink.
