The Proviso West depth chart after two days of practice listed Kyle Prater as a wide receiver.

That is subject to change if the 6-foot-3, 185-pound junior isn't involved in a significant amount of plays on offense.

Proviso West coach Famous Hulbert said Prater could be moved to quarterback if that's what it takes to get the football in his hands on a regular basis.

Prater put himself on the radar screen of college recruiters after an impressive showing during a one-day camp in June at the University of Illinois.

"Unbelievable potential," Hulbert said. "He showed a lot of flashes last year. Now we are looking for consistency. He's a Division I receiver and we can't allow him to not touch the ball. He was the best receiver the day we were down there (at Illinois).

WR Kyle Prater, 6-4/200, Hillside (Ill.) Proviso West

ASSETS: Has excellent height, hands and body control.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Needs to work on staying low in and out of his breaks because he is so tall.
WHAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE AT COMBINE: Ran a comeback route in which he went up and snatched the ball away from the defensive back while keeping his feet in bounds.
CONCLUSION: Has several offers, and should end up being one of the most heavily-recruited players in the entire country.
