Washington 7 on 7
Princeton 7 on 7
Impact Player for Dunlap:
Despite being just a sophomore, QB Mack Sutter (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) is a big, strong and very athletic signal caller who sure looks to be more than ready to take the reins of the Eagles offense this coming season. Sutter has been impressive this summer at various college camps and has the look already to become a highly sought after name both in-state as well as in the Midwest in the Class of 2026. If the Eagles are able to make a post-season run with an offense loaded with new faces, look for Mack Sutter to have a big 2023 season.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Dunlap Eagles:
Dunlap and head coach Brett Cazalet, who is entering his 15th season leading the Eagles football program and has a 81-55 record in 14 seasons. Dunlap has made the IHSA state playoff field for 7 straight season and 10 out of the last 13 years under Brett Hazalet. The 2022 Eagles posted a 5-4 record, made the Class 5A state playoff field and lost to Highland in opening round action to end the season with a 5-5 record.
The biggest question facing Dunlap in 2023? Can the Eagles reload and keep winning in 2023? Dunlap graduated a very strong senior class this spring, a class which included 8 starters lost to graduation. Some key spots will need to be replaced, none as important as replacing all 5 starters on the Eagles offensive line. The Dunlap program has been able to reload and fo as well as anyone within the Mid Illini conference and I expect that to happen again this coming fall. I'll say Dunlap winds up with 6-3 regular season record and gets back into the postseason for the 8th straight year in 2023.
