Impact Player for Oswego
Oswego junior LB Carson Cooney (6-foot-3, 215 pounds) is already holding a few Power 5 scholarship offers this summer and expect Cooney to continue to draw inbcreased recruiting interest, attention and offers this fall. Cooney, who is the son of Oswego HC Brian Cooney is an impressive all around athlete and player who will no question play at various positions for the Panthers if needed this coming season.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Oswego Panthers:
Oswego missed the IHSA state playoff field in 2022 for the first time since the 2010 as the Panthers wound up with a 3-6 overall record. Look for this incredibly proud football program led by alum and head coach Brian Cooney to bound back sooner rather than later.
The biggest question facing Oswego in 2023? Can the Panthers reload at some key positions (QB/WR) and find a way to pull off some early wins against two very strong non conference opponents to start the 2023 season? This Oswego program has been a tremendous power program over these many years in the far Southwest suburbs and they always seem to find a way of winning games. I look for Oswego to wind up back to the state playoff field and I say wind up with a 6-3/5-4 regular season record this coming season.
