2024 Offensive Outlook: Unfortunately, our starting QB Matt Szychulski from last year is still recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered in our last game against Lower Merion. However, rising Junior Luke Reilly has worked tirelessly in the offseason to improve as a QB. We feel very comfortable with the progress he has made all summer, especially with the work he put in at ESU camp. Luke will be looking to make a strong connection with First Team All Central League WR Mikey Enright and other players like Tyler Vitale, Harrison Ceppa, and Kyle Tomzcak.

While we will be small again up front, we are expecting much more from a bigger and stronger kids on both sides of the ball. We will be looking to Charlie Nevins, Ryder Freeman, Christain Daniels, Blake Tidmarsh, Jake McDonald and Patrick Burke on the OLine.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Our Defense will be led by returning All Central League LBs Mason Shieh and John Belvea, who will be joined by Justin Odorisio and Bryce Furey. Many of our OLine will join players like Ryan McWilliams and Quinn Conway on the DLine.
