2018 Joliet Central Steelmen Summer/7on7 plans

TBA

Did you know...that the Steelmen will have a new starting quarterback for the first time in four years. Graduated four year starting QB Zach Wisneski is slated to play football this coming fall at Robert Morris University.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2018 Joliet Central Steelmen? The Steelmen struggled last season (0-9) yet Joliet Central was able to get a ton of experience for several underclassmen. The Steelmen will welcome back 13 starters (6 offense 7 defense) from last season and will look towards four starters back on the offensive line as a strength. .

Keep an Eye on: Joliet Central has a handful of names to watch this fall including senior QB Jared King, senior TE/DE Alexander Gregurich and senior OL/DL German Gonzalez.

EDGYTM's Way Too Early Regular Season record prediction for the Joliet Central Steelmen? 2-7
