FOOTBALL: Logansport Berries 2026 season preview

Logansport Berries begin the 2026 season with a mix of continuity and new faces under second-year coach Troy Hudson. The team returns 14 seniors, including Elliot Baldini, who rushed for 1,431 yards and 15 touchdowns last year despite illness and injury. Hudson expects a big step now that Baldini has been “100%” since about Christmas time and focused on strength work in the summer. Logansport keeps its wing-T offense and returns all of its rushing production, with senior wingbacks Quincy Jackson and Jaxsyn Walker, plus sophomore Karsen Jackson. At quarterback, junior Kuper Jones replaces three-year starter Bryson Herr, who threw for 820 yards and 14 TDs in 2025; Zach Peterson is the backup. The receiver job shifts after Nickenson Hyppolite moved to Saint Francis, with Jackson Wicker, Hudson Shank, and Tyrese Jean among options. The offensive line returns three starters led by Wake Forest recruit RJ Clem at left tackle.
