Impact Player for Prospect

Prospect under head coach Dan DeBoeuf has been fortunately to have strong quarterbacks in his tenure, and senior QB Jack Skoog will be a multi-year varsity starter this fall. Skoog has a very solid and accurate arm, has good size and is an athletic dual threat quarterback and a name to watch this fall no question.

Looking for a sleeper name to watch for the Knights? Prospect senior RB Noah Easter has also been a very productive and steady player for the Knights who looks primed to hve a big 2024 season.

EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Prospect Knights

Prospect has been a consistent winner since head coach Dan DeBoeuf took over the reins of the program back in 2018, and the Knights have made the IHSA state playoff field in every year since that 2018 season. The Knights in 2023 made the Class 7A state playoff field and lost to eventual Class 7A state champion Mount Carmel to end the season with an 8-3 record.

The biggest question for the Knights heading into 2024?

Can Prospect make the next few huge steps as a program, make a deep post-season run and win the Class 7A state championship anytime soon? In all honesty I'm not sure of the 2024 Knights are a state title team in 7A, a class that continues to remain pretty stacked at the too. However, this program has reloaded as well as anyone over the last several seasons and I can easily see Prospect making a run for the Mid Suburban East title and also a 7A state playoff bid. This program continues to be pointed up in my opinion.

EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Clifton Central Comets

Clifton Central and Hall of Fame head coach Brian Spooner is starting his 27th season in leading the football program. Spooner has a 189-91 record at Clifton Central in 26 seasons and has led the Comets to the IHSA state playoffs in 21 season. The Comets missed out on the state playoff field in 2023 with a 4-5 record and with a core of recruiting starters back in the fold (5 offense 7 defense) look for the Comets to make a push towards the IHSA state playoffs along with being in contention for the Vermillion Valley conference crown.

This will be only the second meeting between the Ramblers and Corsairs — and the first since the 1999 Prep Bowl playoffs. Loyola finished the season at 5-4 and Carmel at 4-5, neither making the IHSA playoffs. Ramblers won 22-21 in overtime - behind a 4th down score and 2-point conversion by the late, great fullback Jon Schwabe.
