I think the Allen brothers from Hinsdale Central all played D1 and some in pros
Rice just had the Green brothers (WR and RB) and now have I believe the Diaz brothers (transfers from DePaul perhaps)?

You stole the Potempa’s from us. How many Brennan brothers were there? I remember them from St Mary’s BG and Carmel. Seemed like there were dozens of them.

From back in the day at Joliet Catholic
Mike Larsen
Lenny Larsen
John Larsen
Matt Larsen

All really good skilled players in the 80's/90's

Ricky and Tommy Thayer were also pretty good players. Ricky may have been the better high school player.

The Gomrics and Gulas in the 1980s and early 90s There were five Gulas - the two oldest played HS/College in Alabama, and the last three at Althoff. One DL/FB, the others played LB and Guard/FB and HB. From the 1983 season through 1990, a Gomric started at Linebacker. On offense, they ranged from Guard to Fullback. to Tight End.

That would be the Panasiuk brothers : Mike, Jacub and Patrick.

Mike and Jacub both played at Michigan State and went on to play in the XFL/UFL. Mike for the St. Louis Battle Hawks (starting center the last three seasons) and Jacub for the D.C Defenders (defensive end for one season).

Going way back at JC- Seneker brothers both were really good running backs who won state championships.
Tom won in 81-was an all-state running back
Mike won in 87-all area running back who played at St Francis for Gordie

Two of the hardest runners you will ever see. Mike used to carry the ball looking for defenders to try and run over.
