2025 Outlook:
Offense: Potential to be an explosive offense if our kids continue to work hard. Need to be tougher and more consistent in order to compete with Troy and the solid programs in D4 4A.
Defense: Need to be tougher and more disciplined to prevent the big plays that have plagued us over the past few years. That being said, this group does have the ability to fly to the football and create some havoc on the defensive side of the ball if they so choose.
Special Team: Zach Fisher and Connor Garrison have worked hard to improve over the offseason. We look forward to seeing how their work translates to improved special teams play this season.
