Impact Player for Bremen?
Bremen senior RB/LB Ronny Spurill (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) is a two way starter and impact player this coming season for the Braves and first year head coach Connor Downes.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch this fall for Bremen? Bremen senior RB/LB Vince Webber is also versatile and athletic two way starter for the Braves this fall.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Bremen Braves
Bremen and first year head coach Connor Downes takes over the reins of the Braves football program after veteran head coach Dan Stell decided to retire his coaching position after being the Bremen head coach for 15 seasons. Bremen will look to build off it's 2023 season 5-5 season and the Braves have made the IHSA state playoff field for four straight seasons.
The biggest question facing Bremen this summer?
Can the Braves reload and continue it's winning ways under a new head coach in Connor Downes? The Braves welcome back a strong group of returning starters (8 offense 10 defense) but this group also includes multiple two way starters. If the Braves can stay somewhat healthy along with adding some needed roster depth and more overall numbers, they have a good shot at getting back into the IHSA state playoffs in 2024.
