Top Impact Player for Oswego East in 2017? Senior WR/DB Antwain Walker. Walker, who is verbally committed to Illinois as a defensive back recruit will be used on both sides of the football this coming season for the Wolves.
Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can Oswego East reload in the offensive skills department? East graduated some heavy firepower from a season ago including Iowa bound RB Kelly Ivory-Martin. The Wolves still have plenty of talent on hand but can they generate the lost offensive production from a season ago in 2017?
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Oswego East Wolves?
Oswego East has continued to make n=ice progress since head coach Tyson LeBlanc took over the program after leading Curie to success in his tenure on the South Side of Chicago. The Wolves no question graduated some standout from last fall, yet the program still has a good talent base. I would keep an eye it's Week 1 matchup against Joliet West as a nice early indicator of where this Wolves team could fare this fall.
EDGYTIM's Way Too Early regular season record prediction for the Oswego East Wolves? 6-3/5-4
