Impact Player for Morris
Morris once again welcomes back a young yet aso talented football roster for the 2025 season and the overall experience lever stands out in my opinion. The Morris offensive skills group led by QB Brady Varner. WR Bryce Varner and RB Caeden Curran all had big seasons in 2024 and are all multiple year starters for Morris again in 2025. The offensive line is also young yet experienced led by junior OT Brogan Kjellesvik and junior OL Brody Hibner and both linemen will be drawing more looks and offers this summer and fall.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for Morris? Morris junior to be QB/WR RJ Kennedy has been the buzz on the lower levels for Morris over the past two seasons. Look for Morris to find as place for Kennedy somewhere in the offense this summer.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2025 Morris Football Team
Morris has remained one of the state's top mid sized public school football programs for decades now. Morris and head coach Alan Thorson is looking to get back deep into the state playoff field after it's 2024 Class 4A state semifinal appearance in 2024, a loss to nearby rival Joliet Catholic who has now eliminated Morris in back to back seasons. Morris, with an impressive 14 returning starters back for the 2025 season should be a highly ranked team in both Chicagoland and also in the Class 4A class.
The biggest question facing Morris this summer?
Can Morris benefit from the shake ups in Class 4A including not having to go through JCA in 2025? Again I see a lot to like about the 2025 Morris Football Team and while the schedule is never soft or easy here...this Morris team I feel has a chance to make some serious noise this fall both in conference and in Class 4A this fall. The combinartion of returning starters and talent, plus enough depth in house also adds to a Morris team that could be very tough this fall.
