Ikegwuonu is an agile and dominant lineman that starts both ways. Lackawanna has had one of the most feared running attacks in the last two season and on the defensive side of the ball, Sam has tallied 215 tackles (55 for loss) and 23 sacks in those two campaigns.

. Ikegwuonu led the team in tackles as a DT with 98 (24 for loss), adding 6 sacks. He has a great blend of strength, power and athleticism. Sam made 1st team All-State and All-Western New York honors and I expect him to have a repeat performance as a senior.

Standing at 6’4 324 lbs, Ikegwuonu truly plays like a man amongst boys. Sam has been a wrecking machine at Defensive Tackle since his Freshmen year. After combining for 76 tackles (4 for loss) and 2.5 sacks in his first two season, Sam blew up his Junior year racking up 98 tackles (24 for loss) and 6 sacks. Along with 1 forced fumble and a fumble recovery, he showed fantastic athleticism bringing in 2 interceptions and blocking a punt. He is strong and powerful and Offensive Guards got tired just from trying to block him. With his tenacity and determination,

He has extraordinary athleticism and at 6’4 325 lbs. He will be a notable senior in 2024.

has been a force since his freshman year. In his first two season, he tallied 76 tackles (4 for loss) and 2.5 sacks. But 2023 was Ikegwuonu’s breakout year as he was a 1st Team All State Defensive Lineman as a Junior. In this campaign, he had 98 tackles (24 for loss) and 6 sacks. He isn’t just powerful. Sam displayed incredible athleticism as well. He brought in 2 interceptions and blocked a punt this past season. With his tenacity and determination, he will be in the Trench Trophy conversation next season, given to Western New York’s best Lineman.
