On the defensive side of the ball, we really like what we saw from senior linebacker

last season. When we caught the Owls in person, Donnelly was arguably Elgin’s best player on defense. And then you look at the stats from last season and we don’t believe there’s any argument with that statement. Donnelly was Elgin’s leading tackler and it wasn’t remotely close. He finished the season with nearly 150 tackles on the year and had 60 more tackles than the second leading tackler on the team. Donnelly is an absolute monster on the defensive side of the ball and there’s no doubt that he was a tackling machine. He’ll be one of 4A’s best this season.

The story of this game for us has to be Elgin’s defense completely shutting down Weatherford’s offense. And it’s hard to put a spotlight on one player when the whole unit, specifically the front seven, was dominant from the start. But junior linebacker Colyn Donnelly was flying all over the field throughout the night and showed why he’s a linebacker on the rise in the state’s 2025 class. The Elgin coaches mentioned him as a player to watch prior to the game and he certainly lived up to that on Friday night. Donnelly also made a big tackle in the end zone to force the safety in the third quarter. That was during the stretch of the game when the Owls were really putting this game away. We’ll be keeping an eye on him moving forward.
