2023 Outlook: Play a very competitive schedule within strong league and nonleague games. Return a strong nucleus of players with game experience. Offensively we return several skill players and will be replacing three offensive linemen. Defensively we return many players where we can rotate individual’s interior and at the second level. Special teams our strength will be with our kicker. Imperative through camp and the season we develop and continue to build depth.
