Adam Criter (St. Francis), he kinda did it all for the Spartans on O. Finally committed to University of San Diego but thought he could play in MVC at least.

Northern Michigan's roster is loaded with Illinois kids. Quick count showed 42 kids from Illinois playing there.

I know, they throw out a ton of offers to Illinois kids. Turnover is relatively high as well. They get a lot of local Volleyball kids too.

I would have mentioned Zach Petko from CG, but he just signed with Notre Dame, for Track and Field, for Throws. Follows his brother who is at Missouri.

Smaller school type player Colin Randazzo at Notre Dame Niles. He played RB but could be a solid slot type at next level in D3 or NAIA. Tough kid great burst and can out run people.

Wonder if he's related to Wayne Randazzo of radio work

Unless you have been to a college practice it's hard to say if someone is underrated or not. Most kids are great High School players and that is where it end.

Saw him play vs MC. He can definitely play at the next level in D3 and do well

Someone I have in mind when thinking of under-recruited/underrated is an SWSC kid I watched a few times last year, Andrew Blackburn-Forst from Lockport, IMO clearly the best player on that defense which was very good. Made 8a all-state, I believe pretty much made every newspaper 's(all-area, all-conference, edgy's all-state). From what I read he finished the season with 12 sacks, 22 TFLs, and 60+ solo tackles. 3-year varsity at DT 6'2" 250, oh yeah, and an all-American wrestler.

From the eye test when I watched him play (4 times) not a single team was able to block him, most teams tried to double team him and he sure looked the part.

100% agree. In my opinion he is the best defensive player in the state of Illinois. All-State heavyweight wrestler. All-State defensive tackle. Good grades. Whoever does land this kid is going to get the biggest steal of the decade.

New Orleans is unique in many ways that make it a good place to go to school. It doesn't have that California climate, but it does have music, Mardi Gras, and the best food in the country. It also has something else: California girls ain't got nothing on Southern girls.

Shaw the DB-OLB from Rice has some MAC offers but do believe he could find the field at a Kansas, Vandyy, etc.

Austin Haygood, who was a tackle machine at MC and in the National Honor Society, has transferred from Butler to Notre Dame College in Ohio. The way he played in high school, I thought he was destined for the other Notre Dame.

If he just had a bit more size he would be. Outstanding football player. Tough as they come and meaner than a wolverine….that’s for sure.

I don’t know if those MAC offers went away or he is just waiting for something else..I thought he would have signed with the other D1 players in December....I’m betting he may go the Prep School route.

Yeah, at 230 he is competing against 255.

He’s 5’10 tops and that’s with his cleats on. He was a tackling machine for sure but he could be a very good Rugby player if he just went all in with that, he’s very similar in size and stature to MC great Andrew Guerra.

The online consensus seems to be that rugby players are tougher than football players. Wrestlers have more technique but are usually overlooked. I'm sure all three could beat me silly.
