Impact Player for Lincoln?




Lincoln junior OL/DL Zach Poole (6-foot-7, 315 pounds) is a name to watch for Lincoln this fall and the next. Poole has impressive size, length and physical tools and also moves pretty well for a bigger kid. Poole has already begun to hit several recruiting radar screens this summer.

Looking for a sleeper name to watch this fall for Lincoln? Lincoln senior OL/DL Frank Sanders (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) is another good sized and talented two way starting linemen for the Railspliters this fall.

EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Lincoln Railsplitter

Lincoln and head coach Matt Silkowski is looking to build upon it's 2023 5-5 record . The Railsplitters made the IHSA state playoff field last season for the first time since 1984 and it was also only the third playoff appearance in school history. Mattt Silkowski has posted a 23-47 record in 8 seasons for Lincoln has the programs head coach.

The biggest question facing Lincoln this summer?

Can the Railsplitters reload at several key positions and get back into the IHSA state playoff field? Lincoln graduated a strong senior class this past spring and wlll need to replace 16 returning starters (8 offense 8 defense). The line play will be solid and a good place to start to build upon this summer. The schedule is solid and a big key for Lincoln will be getting out of the gates quickly and gain some early season momentum for the remainder of the regular season schedule.
