Impact Player for Triad
Triad welcomes back a nice core of returning starters and impact players from a season ago for the 2025 season. Triad junior to be QB Brady Hasquin was able to get in quite a bit of work in 2024 playing behind a strong senior QB in QB Isaac Ackerman and Hasquin looks primed to taker over the quarterback starting position this fall. Hasquin is also drawing recruiting looks and attention this spring and this summer will be big for him on the college camp circuit..
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for Triad? Keep an eye on Triad senior WR Mac Musgrave who was a key target in the Knights passing game in 2024 along with senior OL/DL Bryce Van Tieghem who is also a two way starter and impact player and leader for Triad.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2025 Triad Knights
Triad had a solid 2024 season, starting the year with a 6-0 record but then lost three out of it's last four games to finish the year 7-3. The Knights made the 4A state playoff field and lost to Morris in Round 1 of the state playoffs. Look for Triad to again be a contender for the Mississippi Valley conference and a state playoff team in 2025 and if the underclass can step up and fill in at a handful of key positions (OL/RB/LB) this team could make some additional noise this season.
The biggest question facing Triad this summer?
Can Triad win the Mississippi Valley conference then make some noise and beat teams from "up North" deeper in the state playoff field? The geographical makeup of the 5A/4A state playoff field remains the same because of no true 1-32 seeding system....so the odds of eventually running into the Catholic schools up north and in general including the likes of say Morris/SHG/JCA has been pretty high for Triad. While the makeup of the 5A/4A field will no question change in 2025 and JCA and a few others will be moved up to a higher class, the road still remains pretty much the same here for the Knights.
