2022 Team 7on7 or Team Summer Camp?
@ Naz on June 29th (7 on 7)
Summer camp: June - Mon - Thur from 4-7 July - Mon - Fri - 4-7
Impact Player for DePaul Prep:
Senior OL Emmett Jeske (6-foot-3, 290 pounds) will be a multi-year starter and a key leader upfront on an experienced offensive line this coming fall. The Rams will rely on it's line play and look for Jeske and the remaining linemen to take the reins of the offense this fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the DePaul Prep Rams:
The Rams (2-7) was just never able to get going after a 2-0 non conference season start and dropped 7 straight games to end the season on a down note. However, this DePaul Prep program has a ton of numbers at all levels, has new facilities and this program continues to head in the right direction. The schedule is not easy whatsoever this fall but I also see several winnable games, and I can see the Rams challenge for 5 wins and a possible state playoff spot this fall.
