2025 Offensive Outlook: With players returning in key positions we are the most experienced we have been since 22′ in our skill positions. We will count on that group to help lead our new combination of Offensive lineman as they gel together and gain experience.

2025 Defensive Outlook: Experience returning on all three levels will put us in position for success. With returners all over, it allowed our staff to develop a strong two deep all summer. We look forward to a strong year from our defense.

2025 Special Teams Outlook: New punter, and a new PK take over after great production the last two years. Our PK Cooper Laubach has some experience to lean on from last year, so big moments shouldn’t be too big. When you have a young team with guys fighting for positions, it typically makes for great special teams because they all want to be on the field. We look forward to this being a strong point of our team.
