Johnny Caspers (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West) and his teammates will play a rematch of the 2009 state championship game this weekend against the No. 1 ranked Wheaton-Warrenville South Tigers on Saturday. Caspers plays alongside Iowa-bound tackle Jordan Walsh and it looks like that may have helped him get noticed by college coaches. "Things are really starting to pick up," said the 6-foot-4, 270 pound guard. "A lot of FCS programs are calling and there have been some MAC programs sending hand-written mail. I'm taking it all in stride right now. We have a big game on Saturday and that's where my focus is at."Schools that are most interested in Caspers right now Iowa State, Syracuse, Kent State, Akron, Illinois State and Fordham. Senior wide receiver Mark Hiben (6-4, 195 pounds) may have also put himself on the map with a 319-yard, four-touchdown performance against Lincoln-Way East.Admire picks KansasDylan Admire (Overland Park, Kan./Blue Valley West) was an all-city selection as a junior and he received that honor again in 2010 and a spot on the all-state team is also on the horizon. Admire had early offers from Nebraska and Kansas. It didn't take long for him to make a decision."I know I probably could've received more offers," said the 6-3, 265-pounder. "My coach even told me that more schools would've offered had I waited but I knew I always wanted to stay home and play for Kansas. I'll be enrolling at Kansas mid-semester. I want to be able to participate in spring practice."Admire had 69 pancake blocks in nine games this season.
