Top 10 Illinois RBs for 2024 high school football season
3. Donovan Dey, Sr., Carmel Catholic
Carmel Catholic should feature an explosive offense again in 2024 led by highly-touted Class of 2027 quarterback Trae Taylor and talented halfback Dey. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior has good size and quickness that allowed him to break off multiple long runs last season. While Dey was terrific throughout the campaign as an all-conference performer for the 10-2 Corsairs, one of his best performances came when it mattered most during the postseason as he ran for 243 yards and three touchdowns on just 16 carries in Carmel Catholic鈥檚 50-7 postseason win over Antioch. More performances like that will be expected from Dey in his senior season before he heads to the collegiate level. Currently, the talented running back holds Division I offers from Kent State and UT Martin.
Donovan Dey scores again, now at 243 rushing yards on 16 Carrie鈥檚. leads 50-7, early 4th.
