Really like this kids tape. Strong hands, excellent technique for his age. Has the bloodlines. This is a no brainer top of the board guy in 25.

The Illinois pipeline?

Looks like a stud. Edwardsville comp is suspect though even for Illinois high school football standards

Would take, his brother is pretty good for the Bills

They are Penn State in the Big 10. Can never beat East Side and have never won a state title!! They did beat DeSmet and Jackson this year. Two really good St.Louis area teams!!

You’re right and I stand corrected. Looking at their schedule they did play some real solid programs from around the state. Found his film against East St Louis. All I need to see lol

This is why Mario’s important master recruiter who’s been on this kid for years now

Yes sir.

I’d like to see him in camps versus like-skilled competition

Edwardsville plays East St Louis every year and loses but they are in 8A and play tough teams in the playoffs.

Espensa’s are Samoan. They’ve been to Miami a few times. On3 has him up to 6’4 245. Big Joe and JT are gonna have to work to get him out of the Midwest.

Jackson, DeSmet, East Side, Glenbard West, and York are all highly skilled squads from this years schedule. They went 3-2 in those games. Played Jackson, East Side, CBC and Loyola Academy last year. He’s maintained his ranking against average to above average skill. May have to see if there is video from his match up against East Side last year when they had the 3 Power 4 senior offensive lineman.

Which is pretty scary. Brandon Johnson is a clown of the highest order.

Any non-obvious G sounds in his name we should be aware of?

Edwardsville plays plenty of good competition. East St Louis is always tough to beat and when Edwardsville goes deep in to the playoffs, those Chicago area schools are tough to beat. That said, don’t be surprised if Miami’s NIL game is the deciding factor when he chooses Miami over Iowa…

 

[The U is back to work]

Would LOVE to bring him here
