Biggest storyline: Can the Cyclones make the playoffs in 2017?
Names to watch this season: senior FB Jelani Montgomery, senior QB Hilel Anjorn, senior OL Zian Rosario
Biggest holes to fill: The Cyclones will need to fill some key spots on the offensive line and in the secondary this summer.
EDGY's Early Take: Chicago Ag Science might just have its best chance of making the playoffs for the first time in school history. The Cyclones have experience back on both sides of the football, and the program has been making steady progress under Finnin.
