Impact Player for the Carlyle Indians
The Indians senior RB/LB Brody Diekemper (5-foot-10, 190 pounds) is a two way multi-year starter for the Indians. Diekemper is a hard nosed runner in the Indians powe r option running game along with a sure tackler and impact defender.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for the Indians this season? Carlyle junior DT Spencer Bruggemann (6-foot-4, 275 pounds) has the size to draw more serious recruiting looks and attention this coming season.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Carlyle Indians
Carlyle and third year head coach Nick Wolf is looking to break the Indians back to back 4-5 seasons in 2024. Carlyle just came up short in a huge Week 9 31-22 loss to Red Bud which kept the Indians home in the post-season and sent the Salukis into the Class 1A state playoff field.
The biggest question for the Indians in 2024?
Can Carlyle break away from the 4-5 record in 2024 and make the IHSA state playoff field? Carlyle, like every other small enrollment program will need to continue to develop overall numbers and depth this summer, but the core of starters back is solid and could be another key to a winning season this fall.
Preseason Ranking? None for now.
