Impact Player for Lockport?
Lockport junior DL Michael Pratt (6-foot-4, 250 pounds) is a big, strong and very physical defensive linemen for the Porters who also continues to see his recruiting stock rise this summer. Look for more college coaches to take a hard look at Pratt's early season video and offers could come sooner rather than later.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch this fall for Lockport? Lockport sophomore OT Ethan Posey (6-foot-5, 290 pounds) is already adding FBS offers and Power 4 recruiting interest this summer. Posey has impressive size, strength and the overall physical tools to develop into a potential Power 4 player.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Lockport Porters
Lockport and veteran head coach George Czart is looking to improve upon the Porters 5-5 season in 2023. Lockport in 2023 posted a 5-4 regular season record then lost to Maine South in Class 8A first round action. Lockport head coach George Czart is in his second tenure at Lockport after several seasons as the Porters defensive coordinator,. Czart has posted a 31-18 overall record in 5 seasons including winning the 2021 Class 8A state title. Lockport has also made the IHSA state playoffs in three straight seasons.
The biggest question facing Lockport this summer?
Can the Porters reload especially on the offensive side of the football in 2024? Lockport welcomes back just one starter on offense in OL Connor Cronin who was a backup to start the 2023 season but was pressed into action in 2023 because of various injuries. The Lockport defense is always a strength under long time DC and now HC George Czart with 8 starters back. If the Porters can reload the offense and hit the ground running especially against a strong non conference schedule, Lockport has a shot at a fourth straight state playoff spot in 2024.
