Impact Player for Highland Park: Senior RB/DB Giovanni Volpentesta is an impressive player and athlete who is no question an impact player and leader for the Giants heading into 2020. Volpentesta has been drawing looks from various FCS/D2 this spring.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Highland Park Giants: The Giants and head coach David Lindquist have now posted back to back 4-5 seasons and are looking for a breakout season in 2020. If the Giants can reload especially on the offensive and defensive lines they will again be a factor in the CSL North in 2020.
