IHSA Offensive and Defensive Lineman Game Reports

October 30–31, 2026

Marist at Mount Carmel | Final: Mount Carmel 55, Marist 21

Mount Carmel’s defensive line sets the pace in a 55–21 playoff win. Mount Carmel defeated Marist in their Class 8A playoff game. The Caravan’s defensive front produced the clearest individual line statistics reported from the matchup: Caleb Tucker recorded three sacks and forced a fumble. Mount Carmel totaled eight sacks, and Ty Kennedy added a sack and a fumble recovery.

Public roster listings identify Mount Carmel’s offensive line with Chase Clark, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound interior lineman, and Piotr Nakoniezny, a 6-foot-7, 290-pound tackle. The defensive front includes Tucker, listed at 6-foot-5 and 355 pounds; Emmanuel McMoore, 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds; and Yashua Bullock, 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds. Marist’s publicly identified interior lineman is Charles Sleight, listed at 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds.

The game report also says Nathan Samuels scored two rushing touchdowns, but it does not give his rushing-yard total. The eight team sacks and Tucker’s three-sack performance are the available measurable trench results. Individual offensive-line blocking totals and game-level pancake counts were not reported, so the game’s rushing and scoring totals cannot be attributed to specific linemen.
