Impact Player for the Orion Chargers



Orion senior QB Kyle Filler will be a four year varsity starter this fall for the Chargers ands his head coach and Dad Chip Filler. Filler has already set school records in multiple passing categories at Orion and has been drawing steady recruiting looks and attention from multiple levels of college football this early summer. Look for Kyle Filer to again takes the reins of the Chargers offense in 2025, a program that should see a move up in it's overall record this fall.

Looking for a sleeper name to watch for Orion? Keep an eye on Orion senior WR/DB Owen Voorhees who is one of the Chargers main targets in it's shotgun spread passing attack along with also playing in the Orion secondary.

EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2025 Orion Chargers

Orion is looking for a big season in 2025 as the Chargers welcome back an experienced starting lineup on both sides of the football this fall along with strong senior leadership. Orion will welcome back an impressive 17 returning starters (8 offense 9 defense) plus a nice mix of senior leaders plus a strong, talented group of starters from the 2027 class. Orion posted a 2-7 record in 2024 and hasn't been to the IHSA state playoff field since the 2019 season, and getting 5 wins in the Three Rivers conference is no easy task. Yet if the Chargers can get a big season from an offense with big play potential and a defense that simply has to be better this fall...keep an eye on the Orion Chargers in 2025.

The biggest question facing Orion this summer?

Can the Chargers find at least 5 regular season wins this fall and get back into the post-season? As mentioned above the Three Rivers Rock conference is strong with the likes of Sterling Newmann Central Catholic, Rockridge and Erie Prophetstown all in the mix for the conference title and a state playoff spot year in and year out. Yet the Chargers have a rare mix this fall led by four year starting QB in Kale Filler and enough talent around him to make some noise. Again if the Orion defense can makes some improvements this summer compared to a season ago...then things could get interesting. The forst few games in 2025 (Spring Valley Hall and Monmouth Roseville) should be big time indicators on whether the Chargers are ready to make a move this fall.
