Impact Player for Rochelle
Rochelle senior RB/FS Grant Gensler has been a varsity starter and mainstay since his sophomore season for the Hubs. Gensler is a nice combination of a speedy an d athletic play maker with good vision and strength running the football while also being a sure tackler on the defensive side of the football.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Rochelle? Keep an eye on senior OL/DL Kaiden Morris (6-foot-2, 230 pounds) who is also an impact performer on both sides of the football this fall for the Hubs.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Rochelle Hubs
Rochelle and head coach Kyle Kissack enters his 7th season as the Hubs program has made the IHSA state playoff field in every season except in 2019 (4-5 record) and in 2020 (Covid). The Hubs welcome back 20 returning starters (10 offense 10 defense) and several of those returning starter will be long time varsity contributors.
The biggest question for Rochelle heading into 2024?
Can the Hubs guide through a very strong regular season schedule and get back into the IHSA state playoffs again this fall? The schedule this fall is pretty stacked with the likes of Highland, LaSalle-Peru plus Sycamore, Morris and Kaneland all awaiting the Hubs this fall.
