Skylar O’Neill is a fast learner with a brand-new perspective for Reavis.

The senior free safety, a converted linebacker, loves being able to scope out the entire field.

”I’ve had to make some adjustments,” O’Neill said of the position switcheroo. “As a linebacker, your first step is always forward, and at safety, you’re the deepest guy on the field.

“I saw their quarterback throw that 3-yard out and I went for the ball. When it popped out, I just made a play.”

Big plays, at that. O’Neill returned an interception for a touchdown and also blocked two punts Saturday afternoon for the host Rams in a 41-12 South Suburban Red victory over Argo.
