Impact Player for Lemont
Lemont senior OL Jake Sulzberger (6-foot-5, 275 pounds) is the next in a very good and long line of higher college level offensive linemen coming out of Lemont. Sulzberger is currently holding multiple FB S and FCS scholarship offers this late spring and I feel Sulzberger has higher level D1 talent and potential.
Looking or a sleeper name to watch this fall for Lemont? Keep an eye on Lemont senior OLB Connor Wilms (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) along with senior OL Chase Indestad (6-foot-3, 245 pounds) and both have been drawing increased recruiting attention this spring.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Lemont High School
Lemont and head coach Willie Hayes posted a 5-5 overall record in 2023 as Lemont has now made the IHSA state playoff field for 9 straight seasons. However, this Lemont program sets the bar considerably higher and no one involved with this program was happy with the 2023 results. Lemont second year head coach Willie Hayes is looking for the program to take several more steps forward this fall and welcomes back a very experienced team featuring 14 returning starters (9 offense 5 defense).
The biggest question for Lemont heading into 2024?
Can Lemont get back to it's winning ways and make a deep post-season run in 2024? Lemont's early season non conference schedule is no joke with Eisenhower, @ Libertyville and @ Geneva to start the season and getting out of the gates well will be a big early indicator. Look for Lemont to have a real chance at making a strong run in Class 6A again this coming season.
