2025 Offensive Outlook: We return our two leading rushers (Christian Banks and Hayden Harvey) along with some key starters on the offensive line (Noah Rakestraw, Kingston Fisher, and Hunter Shaffer). We will rely on those guys early in the season to help lead our offense and help establish our running game.
There are a number of really good athletes competing at the wide receiver positions. We have a mix of older and younger guys competing at the other positions on offense and look for them to continue to get better as the season progresses.
2025 Defensive Outlook: We return eight starters on defense, so we have a good nucleus of returners. We will have a number of guys competing for spots and need to add more depth at a number of positions heading into the season.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: We lost our kicker from last season so we will need to replace that position with a few guys competing for that spot. A number of guys will be competing for our returning duties. We need to improve on our special teams units throughout the preseason camp.
