Impact Player for Fremd
Fremd junior QB Johnny O'Brien (Northwestern) recently gave the Northwestern Wildcats his verbal commitment after landing an offer from the Wildcats a few weeks earliuer this summer. O'Brien is one of several high level quarterback prpspects in the Class of 2026. O'Brien has an impressive arm and throws an impressive football. O'Brien also has room to grow and add much more good weight and size over the next two seasons. Look for Johnny O'Brien to have a possible breakout season in 2024 for the Vikings.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Fremd? Keep an eye on Fremd senior WR/DB Brennan Saxe (6-foot-3, 180 pounds) who is a talented all around athlete who basically ever leaves the field for the Vikings.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Fremd Vikings
Fremd and veteran head coach Lou Sponsel is seeking to improve upon a 3-6 record in 2023. The Vikings have been undergoing a youth movement over the past two seasons and many in and around the Vikings program are excited for this coming season. Fremd head coach Lou Sponsel has posted a 52-62 record in 12 seasons and Fremd has made 7 post-season appearances under Lou Sponsel.
The biggest question facing Fremd this summer?
Can the kids play this fall and take the program back to the post-season in 2024? Fremd welcomes back 16 returning starters (10 offense 6 defense) including a Power 4 level quarterback who already has a season plus of varsity experience under his belt. The Vikings no qiestion will be a school to watch this fall especially early in the regular season.
