2021 Outlook: 

Offense: Offensively, the Falcons will rely on rising Junior Nick Beck at Quarterback to operate the offense.  Key playmakers will be rising Juniors Josh Brooks and rising Senior Chase Fenstermaker.  The Falcons will lean on the experience at the offensive line in Brandon Brotzman, Paul Spann, Ben Krauss, Anthony Scarcia, and Josh Back. 

Defense: Defensively, the Falcons will look to take a step forward from the 2020 campaign with an experienced defensive unit led by Ben Krauss at middle linebacker.  Anthony Scarcia, Nick Beck, Josh Brooks, Jacob Gibbons, Paul Spann, and Brandon Brotzman all contributed during the 2020 season.  

Special Team: Special Teams will be an area the Falcons will look to continue to make progress under the foot of Chase Fenstermaker and Lucas Graver.
