<p>Today is National Signing Day for college football. On this day every year we release our <strong>All-Basketball Football Team</strong>. To be considered for this the player must be a top 100 ranked basketball prospect, but would make an outstanding football player. Here is our Offense!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Quarterback</strong></p>
<p>Anthony Sayles (Niles Notre Dame)</p>
<p>Sayles is a QB for his high school team and might even project as a signal caller at the college level with his athleticism as a dual threat guy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Running Back</strong></p>
<p>Trent Howland (Joliet West)</p>
<p>Howland is a physical force on the hardwood that translates it to the gridiron to where some are saying the junior could end up at a power five school.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Running Back</strong></p>
<p>Bucky Irving (Hillcrest)</p>
<p>Irving is one of the best running backs in the Midwest in 2021. Fast and dynamic with the ball in his hands on both the basketball court and football field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Scat Back</strong></p>
<p>Aquan Smart (Niles North)</p>
<p>Smart would be a playmaker with the ball in his hands as a jumbo scat back. At 6’3” with his speed he would be an outstanding pass catcher!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Wide Receiver</strong></p>
<p>Christian Shumate (Bloom)</p>
<p>Freak show athlete that has long speed and can go high point passes with the best of them!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Wide Receiver</strong></p>
<p>Brandon Weston (Morgan Park)</p>
<p>Weston is a tough kid that would be able to run crisp routes and use his burst to get downfield.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Tight End</strong></p>
<p>Bryce Hopkins (Fenwick)</p>
<p>Big and physical forward projects great as a tight end with his strength, size, and ability to position for catches.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Offensive Tackle</strong></p>
<p>Devon House (Sterling Newman)</p>
<p>House is the ideal left tackle with his size and mobility. Moves his feet very well and would be a pass protector for our QB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Offensive Tackle</strong></p>
<p>Frank Jakubicek (Cary Grove)</p>
<p>This Belmont commit we will put at right tackle as he can run block with his power downhill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Guard</strong></p>
<p>Keydrian Jones (Collinsville)</p>
<p>Jones is a wide bodied guard that has improved his athleticism being able to anchor and pull in the run game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Guard</strong></p>
<p>Chris Hodges (Schaumburg)</p>
<p>Hodges would be a mauler inside with his toughness and use of his hands. Also has the ability to move in the run game in guard/tackle pulls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Center</strong></p>
<p>Josh Preston (Geneva)</p>
<p>Preston is a high IQ basketball player with toughness. Will be gritty at the point of attack and make calls at the line.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kick Returner</strong></p>
<p>Marcus Watson (Morgan Park)</p>
<p>Watson is one of the fastest hoopers in the state and that will continue as an elite kick returner!</p>
