Impact Player for Mahomet Seymour
Mahomet Seymour welcomes back quite a few returning starters on both sides of the football this fall, including it's entire starting offense from a season ago. Mahomet Seymour senior to be WR Trey Peters is a big and athletic pass catcher who is drawing more and more recruiting looks and attention this spring. Peters, who is holding a handful of FCS level scholarship offers will have a good chance of boosting his overall recruiting stock this spring and early summer.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch from Mahomet Seymour? Keep an eye on the left side of the Bulldogs offensive line in senior to be in LT Kolton Metcalf-Poulos (6-foot-5, 270 pounds) and junior OG Oliver Smith (6-foot-4, 265 pounds).
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Mahomet Seymour Bulldogs
Mahomet Seymour is coming off a 7-3 season in 2023, in a year where the Bulldogs had a terrific run for 7 weeks. The Bulldogs lost back to back games in Week 9 (Quincy) and then in Round 1 of the 5A state playoff field to Troy (20-19) to end the season on a downer. Look for the 2024 Bulldogs to bounce back right away in 2024 and will lean on an experienced and talented offense with all 11 starters back in the fold.
Longtime Mahomet Seymour head coach Frank Dutton (1971 to 1991) passed away recently. The football field is named after him and this season will be a commemorative dedication to him.
The biggest question for the Bulldogs heading into 2024?
Can Mahomet Seymour build up more needed overall numbers and depth to make a deep playoff run in 2024? Also can the Bulldogs get out of the gates quickly then maintain that momentum deep into the IHSA playoff field? While the Bulldogs offense will get all the props this preseason, the defense also welcomes back 6 returning starters and should also be a strength in 2034. Reloading on the defensive line is the top priority for the Bulldogs this summer.
