2022 Season Preview: Wyomissing Spartans

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough to see such a dominant run not come away with hardware at the end of the season. Any way you slice it, the 2021 Wyomissing Spartans were dominant. From a point differential perspective, the Spartans were dominant. At home, on the road, conference or non-conference, the Spartans were dominant. Against sub-par or elite competition, the Spartans were dominant. A 7-0 loss to Central Valley ended up being the lone blemish of the year, a blemish that highlights how thin the margin is between champions and runner-ups. Take away the Championship heartbreak, the Spartans flattened opponents week after week, dominating quality programs like Daniel Boone, Fleetwood, and of course, putting an end to the massive Southern Columbia winning streak spanning multiple seasons. That feat alone should be celebrated, yet the program wanted nothing more than to become 3A champions. This team will be remembered nonetheless, either for its dominant senior class, its performances from top-overall prospect Jven Williams, or their undefeated record through a whopping 15 games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Departing prospects: Aiden Mack, Nevin Carter, Tommy Grabowski, Jamhi Jackson, Rory Filoon, Preston Aikman, Jack Miller</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f0b213e40fa","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["127235"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said about the 5-star Penn State recruit.

Strictly from a recruiting perspective, Ziegler is somewhat underrated. Happy to see Davidson pull the offer trigger, acting as Ziegler's first Division 1 opportunity, a number that I believe is too low. Ziegler grades as a high to mid-level FCS player, expect FCS programs investing in Pennsylvania to check in. Unfair to have Zeigler, Williams, and Brewer along the same offensive line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ZieglerPacen/status/1532031237895901184?s=20u0026t=0i3cp-eM3inDEkcOVc68ZQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ZieglerPacen/status/1532031237895901184?s=20&amp;t=0i3cp-eM3inDEkcOVc68ZQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f0b25de40fc","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248916"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='248916' first='Drew' last='Eisenhower']'s future role at Wyomissing excites me. The young man has provided quality reps at running back and defensive back in the past, yet I could see Eisenhower's skillset be utilized almost anywhere on the field. The coaching staff have the luxury of slotting this kid at a variety of alignments or positions. Despite relatively slow recruitment, I could see Eisenhower reach a PSAC DII ceiling with a stellar senior campaign that we know he is capable of.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f0b279e40fd","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248784"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kickers need love too.

Them being [player_tooltip player_id='377054' first='Caleb' last='Brewer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='255051' first='Collin' last='Niedrowski']. Both Brewer and Niedrowski project to climb into the top 50 with continued program success.rnrn[player_tooltip player_id='377054' first='Caleb' last='Brewer'] might be the most intriguing Spartan on this list. Brewer earned a D1 grade out of me based on his junior tape alone. Throw in his stellar camp season and testing numbers and you've got a resume that screams FBS talent. Whether or not he reaches that status isn't important. I am more intrigued to find out what his on-field ceiling is after yet another productive offseason. The development has been great to witness from afar. If the Spartans want to reach the pinnacle of success, Brewer will have to max out his potential on the field.rnrnI expect Niedrowski to be one of the better producers on the team from a statistical perspective. I am not sure of his role or rep splits, yet I imagine Niedrowski will continue to tote the rock behind this ridiculous offensive line, while also making his presence felt at middle linebacker. A true sleeper who has an FCS floor in my opinion.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f0b2d2e4100","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255735"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I see Niedrowski and Brewer's ranks and can't help but feel like [player_tooltip player_id='255735' first='Ryker' last='Jones'] might be too low.

After the season plays out, you could see Jones leap both Brewer and Niedrowski on our rankings. Wyomissing will have plenty of versatility at its disposal this Fall. Can't wait to see how this versatility will be utilized.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/rykerj_25/status/1470905893004976132?s=20u0026t=0i3cp-eM3inDEkcOVc68ZQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/rykerj_25/status/1470905893004976132?s=20&amp;t=0i3cp-eM3inDEkcOVc68ZQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
