"Last week we had the coaches in school from North Dakota, South Dakota State and North Dakota State. along with the coaches from NIU, Ball State, Wyoming plus a few other schools. All of the college coaches said they want to see me in a camp this summer. I've been able to make two college visits so far to Northwestern and also Ball State."

I'm also set to camp this summer at Lindenwood on June 2nd, the UIndy Mega Camp on June 10th then I'm also camping at Michigan (June 14th) and also the Northwestern Showcase (June 17th). I might add one or two more camps but that's all I have set for now."

Cleveland is also drawing recruiting attention at a few different positions.

So how are the Hoffman Estates Hawks shaping up for the 2023 season?

"We graduated a pretty strong senior class and we will have a lot of new faces upfront. We do bring back like 6 starters on offense and 5-6 starters back on defense so we have some good experience in some key spots."
