Impact Player for Byron:

Year in and year out Byron veteran head coach Jeff Boyer has a state title contending program and don't expect that to change in 2023. The Tigers have several experienced starters back and keep an eye on junior RB/SS Ashton Henkel. Henkel is a two way impact starter for the Tigers whop will again be asked to provide production and leadership on both sides of the football this coming fall.

EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Byron Tigers: Byron was able to make another deep post-season run in 2022, losing to eventual Class 3A state champion ICCP in the semifinal round. Look for the Tigers to again reload and be a big factor in the Class 3A state playoff field along with the Big Northern conference. Byron had a very young team in 2022 and this team will be battle tested and more than capable of making yet another deep post-season run. Also keep an eye on freshman RB/LB Caden Considine, son of former standout Byron/Iowa and NFL player and now Byron assistant coach Sean Considine
