2025 Offensive Outlook: A more diverse offensive style, utilizing multiple formations, will open up the playbook and allow us to maximize the talents of all our athletes. The offense will be led by quarterbacks Grady Bonin and Mason Barnett. In the backfield, ball carriers Gabe Johnson and Jaxon Tyree will handle the rushing duties. The receiving corps will be spearheaded by Owin Gilbert, Landon Geidel, Tristan Wenrich, and Cash Keck. Up front, the offensive line will be anchored by senior leaders Ty Whitmer, Jorge Castillo, and Gage Hess.
2025 Defensive Outlook: Defensively, a new attacking style featuring multiple fronts will allow players like Johnson, Gilbert, and junior Gavin Bucek to play aggressively downhill. Up front, the defensive line will include Castillo and Whitmer, along with sophomore Mason Stump. The secondary will be anchored by Geidel, Tyree, and junior Jackson Lininger. Keep an eye on newcomers Gavin Macke and Jake Brennan, who are expected to see significant playing time on this side of the ball.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: There’s some work to do in this area as we look to replace both our kicker and punter from last season. Gabe Johnson is the leading candidate to take over punting duties, while sophomore Michael Hellmold has been impressive in the kicking game. Return specialist Tristan Wenrich will bring excitement and big-play potential to the return game.
