Joliet Buccaneers 17th Season on the Horizon
The Joliet Buccaneers are at full tilt as they start their OTA's (Organized Team Activities) this past month and are in full swing.
Joliet- As the NFL season has wound down, and
now the XFL season has made its appearance. The Joliet Buccaneers are at full
tilt as they start their OTA’s (Organized Team Activities) this past month and
are in full swing. Second Year Head Coach Michael W. Ingram Jr. is excited
about the young football team, that he plans on leading. “We have a good group
of young men”, said Head Coach/Team President Michael Ingram. I’m pleased with
the guys that we have returning from last year, as we kept most of our core
players, and we have a lot to work with going into this OTA camp says Ingram.
The Buccaneers Defense was a big reason why they made the playoffs last year
due to players like #3 SS Walter Grady, #4 DB Shaq Williams, # 51 DL Jalen
Simpson. There was a reason why these guys made the 2019 All-Star Team they
were the soul of the defense, said Assistant Head Coach/ Defensive Coordinator
Garland Robinson.
Making the playoffs last year was a huge
step for the Buccaneers Organization as they were 2 years removed from playoff
play. The Buccaneers Offense started to show life towards the end of the
season, that was because long time veteran #1 WR Darvell Luckett shined with
his second All-Star Selection; as well #58 OL Chris Zeleny made his 2nd
year selection and first year All-Star selection #90 OL Jarvell Caples. Our
core players are returning with a few new additions this season says Ingram. We
hope to bring in new life to our football family these local players like
former Romeoville High School Quarterback Kelvin Jones Jr. and Manuel Nartey,
Anthony Kopel and Bolingbrook High School Defensive Lineman Malik McMahon
High school players and ex college
players are encouraged to come out and be a part of the team. Majority of the
players on the team were former local high school players and college players
in the own right. “I was a local talent from the mid 90’s,” said Robinson. I
went to Bolingbrook High School, and some years later after high school I just
missed the game, and back in 2005 I came out to what was called the Bolingbrook
Buccaneers/Joliet Buccaneers and played. Robinson would admit that he played,
because he had fun and it gave him something to do.
