So, in a way to better understand the use of Deep Dish Football for lllinois recruits and the whole entire IHSA Football scene. Decided to do player profiles of players who you might not know or you might know, but you should respect them for their roles on their respective teams. Every Football Player Has A Story To Tell
Braedon Hellinger Oswego Linebacker Class of 2023 6'0 200
Braedon Hellinger how was your junior season?I think my junior season went pretty well besides losing in the first round. I was named all-conference, and I started on defense and had a good amount of offensive playing time as a fullback. So over all it went pretty well.What does football mean to you?Football means everything to me. It’s something that has been in me since I was little. Just the dedication it takes really helps you in life. It really has been my everything since I started playing.What should college coaches know about you?I think what college coaches should know about me most is that I am dedicated to the team, and always looking to make the team better. I am always looking to be a leader on the team and making sure that the coaches can trust me to make that big play. I feel like I am a versatile player that can do anything a coach asks me to do and I feel like I would do it well. I feel like I am overall coachable and can handle any situation I am put in on the field and off the field.What do you feel is your strongest trait on the football field?I feel like my strongest trait on the field is my field vision and really knowing what people are going to do because of the game film leading up. I really study what techniques and how they move to where I can think about what they are going to do next.What do you like about playing linebacker?What I love best about playing linebacker is that I get the feel of hitting people and playing in pass coverage. For me it’s a mix of a DB and a defensive lineman because I can blitz and be the first one to contact on runs. I can also get interceptions and pass break ups. To me it’s about being involved in everything as a linebacker.
