2025 Offensive Outlook: We are returning nine starters. A young quad that will start mostly Sophomores and Juniors will use the experience they gained last year to help the game slow down. Pro I will be our base offense but at times open sets to capitalize on our skill position talent.

2025 Defensive Outlook: Returning eight starters. A 4-4 defense to be our base set. We look to be attacking, aggressive & disruptive while fundamentally sound. We are excited to see the growth from last season translate to the field this year.

2025 Special Teams Outlook: Returning one of the strongest legs in the conference.
