Top 10 Illinois HS football players in Class of 2025

10. Bradyen Trimble, WR, Mt. Zion

Trimble has proven capable of doing a little bit of everything at Mt. Zion as a skilled all-around athlete with terrific speed. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound three-star recruit has played receiver and defensive back for the Braves and has also excelled as a kick returner. Trimble is at his best out wide though as he posted a 1,100-yard season as a sophomore before again putting up strong numbers in 2023 as he made 69 receptions for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns. Trimble also added 178 rushing yards and two additional scores on the ground. The talented two-time all-state senior will be one of the top wideouts to watch in the Prairie State this fall. Then, Trimble will become one of several in-state seniors staying home with Illinois, pledging to the Fighting Illini over a host of other Big Ten and SEC schools.
