Top Impact Player for Schaumburg in 2017? Senior RB Jordan Salgado. Salgado will be asked to again carry the load in the Saxons running game in 2017. Salgado will also benefit from running behind a veteran offensive line this season.

Biggest Concern heading into 2017? Can the Saxons reload especially on the defensive line and at linebacker this summer?

EDGYTIM's Way Too Early Take on the 2017 Schaumburg Saxons?

While Schaumburg might not be one of the top names you'd think of when it comes to the Mid Suburban West, do not sell this program short. The Saxons will bring back a veteran team that could very well wind up being a nice sleeper pick this season.
