2025 Offensive Outlook: We will have to replace our quarterback, Colt Mason, and 3 offensive linemen (Aidan Ricard, Dalton Seisler, and George Shimko). I am really excited about incoming quarterback Owen Holley who was forced to sit out his entire sophomore season. Owen throws the ball well and is very coachable.
Our three running backs return (Bentley Werez, Cooper Felty, and Connor Felty) and they all worked extremely hard over the summer and should all have a great year for us. I am looking for our receivers to make major strides this year, Jacob Williams, Aiden Clews, Liam Garrity, Frankie Uhrin, and Cole Felty all can contribute. Marshall Dolbin will return from injury and will be a major factor for us up front.
2025 Defensive Outlook: We will have to replace all-state defensive players Colt Mason (DB) and George Shimko (DL). Jacob Williams and Danny Trezise return and I am looking for both of them to make a significant impact. We struggled to stop the run last year so we will need to make big improvements up front if we want to be successful. Marshall Dolbin, Vaughn Vesay, Sean Kramer, and Noah Bulino all saw a lot of action last season so we will be better. Linebackers Cooper Felty and Connor Felty also return.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: We are currently looking for a kicker and a punter to replace Aaron Sinko.
