Cornell Conely brings Chicago-bred upside to Western Illinois’s receiver room
Conely enters Western Illinois as a fresh-faced, high-upside wideout from Simeon, with recruiting notes highlighting All-American, first-team all-state, and first-team all-city recognition before signing in the 2025 class. At 5'8"-5'9" and around 165-170 pounds, he profiles as a quick, twitchy space player with game-breaking speed and a history of being used to get the ball in his hands creatively. He looks like a fit if you want separation, burst, and playmaking energy more than a big-bodied possession target.
