2025 record: 6-4 (Lost 49-7 to Lincoln-Way Central in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs)
2026 outlook:
Former Tinley Park coach and Rams assistant Josh O’Shea takes over for Tim Zasada, who stepped down after going 72-58 with eight playoff berths in 14 seasons.
Three seniors and four juniors who started last season are back as the Rams aim to compete for the South Suburban Red title and another playoff berth.
The seniors are quarterback Darden Nreci (5-10, 175), linebacker/fullback Mikolaj Wrobel (5-10, 195) and linebacker Maciej Truty (5-11, 175), while the juniors are cornerback/receiver Ahmed Everette (5-8, 165), two-way lineman Gabe Juarez (5-11, 320), defensive end/running back Brandon Seymore (5-11, 185) and linebacker/tight end Jayden Chatman (6-1, 190).
A couple more veterans to watch are junior running back/safety Christian DelBosque (5-10, 170), who was injured last season, and senior center Javon Chatman (6-0, 265).
Three newcomers expected to make an impact are junior receiver/running back/safety CJ Arevalo (5-11, 175), sophomore receiver/running back/cornerback Juju Shahin (5-8, 160) and junior two-way lineman Jacob Hernandez (5-10, 165).
