2025 Offensive Outlook:
On offense we hope to be a multiple unit. We have 2 bigger backs we hope to use in some power run game as well as depth at the wide receiver position that will allow us to go in 10 personnel and spread things out as well.
2025 Defensive Outlook:
We have quite a few returning players on the defensive side of the ball. We will be smaller up front than most teams but hope to use movement and pressures to counteract what we lack in size.
