Top Impact Player for Naperville North in 2017? Senior QB Drake Davis. Davis, who transferred into Naperville North last spring from 1A Bureau Valley has a big time arm and tools. Davis gives a reloading Huskies offense an instant weapon both in the passing and running game this fall.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Huskies reload and stay near the top of the conference? Naperville North has done a nice job of getting back into the upper half of the DVC, but the margin between playoffs and no playoffs in the conference remains razor thin. In short you get zero chances to build up/develop experience in the conference and NN will need to come out firing starting in Week 1.

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Naperville North Huskies?

Naperville North has always had good talent and numbers over the years and that will again be the case this fall. Look for Naperville North to get tested immediately in Week 1 at Edwardsville. While the Huskies welcome back just 5 starters from 2016 this program has plenty of talent to compete and will be in the hunt for a state playoff spot.
