2025 Outlook: Overall young team with a ton of work to do. We lost a lot to graduation the last two years but feel really good about the young men in our program developing over the course of the season. We play a tremendously challenging schedule in both non league and league play which we hope prepares us for an opportunity in the postseason. Our players and coaches have been working really hard. It will be a challenging year but we are up for it.

Offense: Offensive line should be improved, Malik Cochran, Sebastian Waddell and Khalif McNear all have playing experience, QB Semaj Beals is back with Eisa Nealy, Jayden Alford, Eyan Stead, Xavier Cruz, Ashdan Roberts leading the pass game. Some young receivers we think have a chance to contribute include Maajid Williams, Kaylin Bass, and Shane Hubert. Senior Rogzel Sutton and sophomore Tre Montgomery are doing a good job in the backfield.

Defense: We feel good about the middle of our defense with Antwan Smith Ray, Walt and Louie at backer and Justus Gaskin at Free. Competition taking place for some of our secondary positions is still ongoing. Chase Hinton is a really good cover guy, along with Eesa Beyah, Andrew Woods, Semaj Kelly, Chris Cooke, Boe Davis, and incoming freshman Coron Russell. Many of these guys offer position flexibility.

Special Teams: we need to do better and be better on specials this year. We feel like we have good players that can own a role and be 4 phase special team players.
