Highlights of 2024: Our players demonstrated unwavering commitment to each other and the team, which was reflected in our performance on the field. After two challenging seasons, we returned to our winning tradition, surpassing our combined win total from the previous two years and securing a playoff berth for the first time since 2021. Defensively, we saw a notable increase in sacks and turnovers, while offensively, we featured a 1,200-yard rusher, a 500-plus-yard receiver, and a 1,000-yard passer. These accomplishments were made possible by significant improvements on both the offensive and defensive lines.

2025 Outlook: Building on last season’s success, we are committed to continued growth and improvement. With several key players returning on both sides of the ball, we are poised for another strong season.
2025 Offense Outlook: Offensively, we bring back key skill players, including Brody McLaughlin, Tommy McGinnis, Drew Puleo, and Shane Gilday. Additionally, four of our five starting offensive linemen return: Reid Cassidy, Jack Gillespie, Caden Brookes, and Brett Patroni.
2025 Defense Outlook: Defensively, while we have key positions to fill at every level, we have experienced players ready to step up. At linebacker, Shane Gilday, Will Schriver, Nick Rassias, and Charlie Williams all saw significant playing time last season. On the defensive line, Jack Gillespie, Caden Brookes, and Brett Patroni made valuable contributions and look to build on their performance. In the secondary, we return Drew Puleo, Brody McLaughlin, Hayden Wenturine, Jack Law, and Jesus Molina, all of whom bring experience and depth to our defense.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: We’re looking to build off the success we had last season, highlighted by seven blocked kicks and punts. Our goal is to once again have a strong blocking game that helps set up our offense with great field position. We’ve also seen real growth from our kicker, Ryan Keaveney, and we’re excited about the role he’ll play in making our offense even more effective this year. Ryan will be a key weapon in the kickoff game as well — his versatility as a kicker gives us the flexibility to adjust our approach from week to week.
