Impact Player for Washington
Washington and first year head coach Todd Stevens will rely on a nice core of returning starters this fall. Washington senior TE/DE Carter Prina (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) was an impact player in 2023 for the Panthers and is also a team leader on and off the field. Prina has the overall look and physical tools to play at a higher level in college next fall.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Washington? Washington junior WR Adrian Jones (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) has bounce back and forth between Washington, transferred to Bolingbrook last fall and is now back at Washington this season. Jones is a high level athlete and receiver who will draw much more serious recruiting attention and offers once his early season video hits the street. Jones, who also plays for Boom Midwest in the off season will be one of the best receiver names in the Class of 2026 in Illinois.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Washington Panthers
Washington will begin a new athletic era this fall as longtime AD Herb Knoblauch and Hall of Fame head football coach Darrell Crouch both retired after the 2023 season. The Panthers football program is left in good hands as longtime Washington DC Todd Stevens is now the head coach. The transition for Washington should be seamless and this Panthers team has a chance to make another state playoff run in 2024.
The biggest question facing Washington this summer?
Can the Panthers football program transition to a new head coach and keep up the winning tradition at Washington? I would be very surprised if the Panthers did not pick things up exactly where they left off last season and the new coaching transition will go well. Maybe the bigger questions is can the Panthers reload at a few key spots (LB/DB)?
