Biggest Question facing St. Viator this fall?

Can the Lions reload and make a run towards a state playoff berth this fall? St. Viator had a strong spring season and finished the COVID shortened season with a 4-1 record. Gone from the spring season is a very deep and talented senior group. The Lions and head coach Dave Archibald will look towards his lower levels to step up and replace some key spots this coming fall season.


Impact Player for St. Viator: LB Carson Eggebraten. Eggebraten has been a varsity starter for the past few seasons and had a very strong spring. Eggebraten has been drawing various FBS/FCS looks this spring and he has a chance to play at a pretty high level next fall at the college level.

EDGY's Quick Take on the St. Viator Lions: The Lions no question have some key spots to replace but the overall talent level, especially in the offensive skills is never in short supply. Keep an eye on senior QB Alex Konopka who is drawing some looks and who will be given the reins of the always potent St Viator offense this fall. If St. Viator can reload especially on the defensive line they have a chance at a strong tun this fall in the conference and in the playoffs.

Game to Watch this Fall? Week 5 at Notre Dame.
