Impact Player for St. Ignatius
The Wolfpack program and roster always seems to have good talent and depth and the 2024 season starting lineup also has some nice names to watch this fall. St Ignatius senior QB Jack Wanzung has been running the Wolfpack power running/option game for the past handful of seasons to great success. Wanzung is just a hard nosed football player capable of playing more than a few different spots on the field at the college level.
Looking for a sleeper name to watch for St. Ignatius? St Ignatius senior LB Emmett Callahan is a leader on the defense for the Wolfpack. Callahan has a really nice combination of power, quickness and will go sideline to sideline to make tackles.
EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 St. Ignatius Wolfpack
You will be hard pressed to find a program in the CCL/ESCC that has made as many positive steps and improvements over the past decade than the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack has made the IHSA state playoff field in eight straight seasons and six straight under head coach Matt Miller while St Ignatius also continues to move up the CCL ladder and will play this fall in the ultra tough CCL/ESCC Blue.
The biggest question for St. Ignatius heading into 2024?
Can the Wolfpack survive the rugged regular season schedule including playing in the CCL Blue for the first time this fall. Getting to 5 wins could very well be the biggest test for this team and program this fall, but if this team can secure a state playoff spot they could very well possibly challenge to win a state title in 2024. Moving up from 6A to 8A in just a two year period is a huge test and challenge here....but this St Ignatius program has just continues to prove it belongs in the top tier.
