2025 Offensive Outlook: The Rams have several players returning who started in 2024 or played meaningful varsity minutes. The key will be in filling the void left from graduation at the QB position along with the two top WR’s. The 2025 Rams will have to find their identity early and play with chemistry.

2025 Defensive Outlook: Although some very key players were lost from graduation, the Rams have several players back who started or played meaningful minutes in 2024. That experience will have to show early with a tough schedule looming from beginning to end.

2025 Special Teams Outlook: Kicker Robby Jimenez returns after a solid junior year. Jadyn Johnson comes back for his senior year after a huge touchdown in the final game on a kick return.  Senior AJ Carr will handle the punting and has a lot of potential thanks to a strong leg.
