Impact Player for Morton
Morton and head coach Adam ONeill will look to lean on a deeper and more experienced team back for the 2025 season. The Potters will rely pretty heavily on junior QB/ATH Isaac Davis this coming fall. Davis will be asked to provide production along with leadership both on and off the field for the Potters this summer and fall. Morton junior OT Soren Fifer will become one of the most sought after names in Illinois and the Midwest for the Potters who possesses Power 4 level tools dnd skills.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for the Potters? Morton senior WR/DB Silas Steffen (6-foot-3, 180 pounds) is a talented two way starter for Morton again this fall who has been drawing FCS/D2 recruiting looks and attention this spring.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2025 Morton Potters
Morton had an up and down season in 2024, posting a 4-5 record and came within a few possessions of going 4-5 to say 6-3 with three point losses to conference rivals Metamora (40-37 loss) and Pekin (27-24 loss). The Potters and head coach Adam ONeill can look forward to a much more experienced tewam, especially on the offensive side of the football inn 2025. The Morton schedule remains rough especially in the non conference games against Mahomet Seymour and Marian Catholic,but if the Potters can come away say 1-1 into Week 3/Mid Illini conference play all the better here.
The biggest question facing Morton this summer?
Can the Morton Potters get back into the post-season for the 2025 season? No question the overall depth and experience back tells us on paper that the Potters will be solid in 2025. Again the schedule is pretty stacked and again nothing will come easy here but this program more often than not seems to find a way to bounce back from it's 2024 4-5 showing this fall.
