2025 Offensive Outlook: With four experienced OL and experienced running backs we hopefully will be able to have success running the football. The goal is to keep the chains moving and be able to finish off drives.

2025 Defensive Outlook: We will be very inexperienced in the secondary so we will need to improve their week to week. Hopefully we will be able to create turnovers and improve our overall tackling.
