Impact Player for St. Ignatius:

St. Ignatius senior 5 star ranked defensive tackle Justin Scott (6-foot-5, 312 pounds) is one of the most highly sought after names in the nation. Scott, who will play on both side of the line again this fall for the Wolfpack and who is also expected to make his college decision this summer is simply one of the most physically impressive names from the State of Illinois in many years. Look for Scott to make his college decision between a handful of Power 5 schools including Notre Dame, Georgia, Miami Fla. and most observers feel Notre Dame has the inside track.






EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 St. Ignatius Wolfpack:

The turnaround of the St Ignatius program under head coach Matt Miller has been very impressive after posting winning records in four straight seasons including last fall making the Class 6A state playoffs and losing in the 6A state semifinals to Prairie Ridge to finish the season. The 2023 season will no question test and challenge the programs overall depth, numbers and talent level after graduating a very strong senior class this spring.

The biggest question for St. Ignatius this season? Can the Wolfpack reload this summer and remain at the top of the CCL/ESCC conference along with remaining a playoff caliber team this fall? The Wolfpack welcomes back just 2 starters on offense and 3 starters back on defense from last season. The regular season schedule as always offers zero break for the Wolfpack as 7 of it's 9 regular season opponents make the IHSA state playoff field in 2022. Overall? I'm still looking for this team to challenge all comers and to challenge for a state playoff spot in 2023, and I can see this St. Ignatius ending the 2023 regular season as a 6-3/5-4 caliber team.
